If she was only going to get to live a short life and I was only going to get to enjoy her company for such a short period of time, why couldn't it just have happened when it was expected from the vet. Why die while sleeping in the bed with her mother and father as well as my mother and father. I get that she died with people who loved her but it just doesn't make since, I can't accept it. I know that sounds harsh but I am at a point in my life that I just don't understand the reason for anything anymore. I am sorry for ranting. |
First let me say that I am so sorry for your loss. I have had to say goodbye to TWO of my sweetest babies this last two years. One was from old age, one cancer.
Isn't it strange (or maybe it really isn't) how very much we grow to LOVE these little babies that the Lord has given us to take care of? They give unconditional love. They are so forgiving. They ask nothing but love and basic care. I will NEVER understand how anyone can abuse a little one in any way. It breaks my heart.
You are going through a very rough time now. That little pup has become more important to you than ever before. She filled a very important place in your heart and life. What you are feeling is very normal for everyone but because of other things in your life, it hurts even more.
You gave your baby love and care for her WHOLE life. That is priceless no matter how long OR short that life was. You loved her and she loved you in return.
I am only a month and a half from losing a 15 year old dog so I really DO know how you feel. It hurts so bad. But time DOES heal, it really does. It just doesn't seem like it now. I understand. I really do. Even 15 years was not long enough.
Rest assured that there are MANY MANY people who know how you feel and may even be going through the same thing right now. Remember time heals. And remember your baby and the time you had with her.
Love and hugs,
Louise
