 I am so very sorry...
I am so very sorry for your loss. Love the pic of Ally you posted, she looked to be a very precious soul.
To answer your question - you start by surviving a second at a time. Then a minute, an hour, a day. I can tell you from experience that losing a beloved furry family member can cause the worst kind of pain. It is like huge hole is ripped in your heart and there is no healing in sight.
One day you will think of Ally and have a smile on your face rather than tears falling down your cheeks. That is when you know that healing has begun. Eventually you will have more smiles than tears but I can't tell you when or if the tears will completely go away.
I am sitting here with tears on my cheeks, thinking of our beloved Boo the Boxer. She was 15 when she left us and that was 10 years ago. The pain is still very raw and rarely does a day go by that I don't grab a pic from her memorial table and shed tears.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.... |
