I was angry, devastated and confused all at the same time.
I had a necropsy done because I had to know what happened....why this happened......I just needed answers as to why I lost my pup..... The next day I did receive an answer, but it didn't provide me with the answers I had hoped to hear to absolve me from the guilt I was feeling. The guilt that maybe I could have prevented this. It just made me angry and full of more questions. Sometimes having the "why 's" answered won't bring the peace we're seeking.
I've cried more tears than I thought I was capable of crying when I lost my yorkie; my friend. When we love this hard and suffer the loss of our pet, the grief process is a painful, inevitable, unavoidable, process. Accept it, embrace it, and allow it to take its course, it's a testament to the power of love you had for your companion. I had to come to the conclusion that not
everything is in our control. We might like to think it is, hope that it is, but there are times it simply isn't. ....I hope in time you can think of your pup without hurting, I wish you the best ....((hugs))) |
Thank you for your heartfelt response. I am so sorry for your loss also, believe me, it sounds like what happened to me. Having to send his little body off to Colorado State University for a full necropsy was something I just didn't have the strength to do. I wondered if he would sit in a shelf, get misplaced etc. I feel like I can hardly breathe at times, the pain is so intense. I guess driving myself nuts with the what if's and why's is draining me to nothing. Talking with others does help. I am so grateful to all of you who have taken precious time out of your lives to respond in,ind to strangers. My heart felt warm for this first time in over a week reading all these incredible responses. Thank you to each of you.
