Hi guys, I haven’t posted on Yorkietalk for years but I’m coming here to ask how those of you have lost your fur babies go through the pain.

We lost our fur baby Tobie a couple of days ago and this pain is so much worse than I ever thought it would be. He was just 2 weeks short of his 13th birthday. I’ve lost pets in the past and none of them has been this hard. Tobie was more like a toddler than a dog and I didn’t realize that his death would leave such a big hole in my heart. My husband is struggling with it too but he and my daughter have been trying to help me get through. I’ve dealt with depression and panic attacks many years ago and this is the first time in 12 years that I’m fighting off panic attacks and the things that usually make me happy, don’t. When is my brain going to accept the fact that I’m never going to see him again without feeling a panic attack coming on. Or when is my home going to feel like my happy place again instead of black hole where everything reminds me of him.
I’m going to call about seeing a therapist on Monday but I wanted to see if anyone has a tips on things that helped them get through the pain of losing their fur baby. I just want to be able to get through a day without crying. 😢
