I think the only way to heel from our lose is to get another puppy. The void in the house is unbearable. My wife says no more pets because she's not going through this kind of hurt again and she's right in a way. I mean, 10 years is a short period of time. 10-13 years from now we'd be facing yet another death. It's a lot to think about. The big thing right now is She's still heavily grieving and She feels like she'd be betraying her boy. Max was her shadow 24/7. He loved us all but he was extra close to her. When she lost her mother in 2014 max never left her side. He cuddled up next to her the entire time she mourned her mom. like he felt her pain. Now he's gone too.
I had an idea that I believe would help us get through the loneliness. My daughter and I were talking and we both agree that maybe in a few months after the grieving becomes a little more tolerant we could surprise her with a Yorki puppy for her birthday. She'd never turn away a puppy. We can't bring back our lil boy but we could provide a loving home for another lil guy. It's our first loss so I don't really know what the right thing to do is but I know our house is extremely lonely now. Any thoughts? |
