These situations are so tough- even the kindest of words can be upsetting. Katie can never be replaced, but your new baby will help fill the void left behind. Last month, my cousin and her husband lost their dog to cancer at the age of 2. Their breeder called to offer them another dog a week or so after they lost Abe. Java, their new dog, has made a world of difference in their grieving for Abe. They had Abe cremated, and he is in the living room with them. They still miss him and would do anything to get him back, but Java has helped heal their hearts. I know that you're hurting, but things will get better. |
