From my own experience I would like to encourage you to get in touch with a pet grief counselor immediately. We lost a tiny little rescue earlier this year (we hadn't had her very long at all) and to be honest I just totally lost it. I couldn't even get out of bed for a week, my daughter had to call in sick for several days herself. It was awful. Finally my daughter in law found a grief counselor for us and it did help. Loosing a pet is just about the worst thing that I have ever gone through, I think the only thing worse would be to loose one of my children. I don't know where your belief system is but I do truely believe that when anyone, pets included, pass over - there is just a veil between us and them, and a thin one at that, they are with God and they are just waiting for us. Much love, our prayers are with you.... |
