I didn't do it the first night without her and I kept waking up in a panic that she had fallen out of the bed because I am so used to feeling her right next to me. The next night I was just feeling so bereft that out of desperation I rolled all that I have left of her( her ashes in a little box that also has her baby teeth and a little ponytail of her hair) in her blanket and cuddled it. That sounds maudlin but it did make me feel better and it made me feel closer to her.
Thank you so much for sharing |
When I had to euthanized my Brandi, I slept the sweater she was put to sleep in. I placed it on her pillow and blanket that she slept with every night. I did this for a few weeks.
After six months I adopted another yorkie and at first I thought it was too soon because I felt so guilty. Brandi was an alpha diva and did not like other dogs near me.
But Duchess won my heart and I no longer feel guilty. I have enough love in my heart for the both of them. I still think about Brandi...in fact I think about her every day. There are still so many things that remind me of her. I am so thankful I have her ashes. I now realized having Duchess didn't diminish my love for Brandi. It's been almost two years and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about Brandi but so happy the Duchess is now a part of my life.
