Yorkie friends, my heart has been broken.
Yesterday, while taking care of my brothers 16 year old lab mix at his house, my tiny yorkie Reese, slipped through the outdoor gated area while I was helping the lab walk to pee. Reese was afraid, and ran to the road before I could stop her. I live across the street, so she was trying to go home. A car was coming, and I tried to get them to stop, but there was no time. I watched my sweet, almost two year old Reese get killed instantly.
I am numb. All I do is cry. Even though she is not my only yorkie, I feel so alone without her. She was so sweet, she loved kissing and getting belly rubs. When she would see me coming into the house, she would bark, and it would lift her tiny body up and make her back right leg kick out. I lost my three year old yorkie Gizmo three years ago to kidney disease. I never got over that, even though I knew his time was limited. This was so sudden, I still cannot believe it. I loved her like she was my child.
I need to know how to live again. How to get up and not cry all day. I have other children and yorkies that need and depend on me, so that is helping, but I cannot see how I will ever accept her death. I just said my final goodbyes to her as my brother took her to get her cremated. Now I am so lost. Please, yorkie friends, how do you ever recover from something like this?
