I know how you are feeling and it will get better but it takes time. When my first little girl died, my kids were in their teens. They had my pups around since they were toddlers and were also having a very difficult time. Some things that we did that seemed to help were to talk about our memories both the good and the difficult ones. We did this as we made memorial scrapbooks of our little girl. We also kept her collar with her tags and placed that in the book as well. Later, when we lost our second little girl, the kids automatically began the process of grieving by making another book for her as well. We look at the books when we are remembering them, even now when ai recently added a new puppy to my life. She will never replace my little girls but has her own place in our hearts. It is hard but it will get better. My thoughts and prayers are with you. |
