I completely understand..... and no, some people just don't "get it". But you know what.... it's their loss.
I went through some major grieving when we had to put down our 15 yr. old toy poodle a couple years ago (and yes, this happened on a Sunday and I had to take off work Monday - my boss was very sympathetic). My husband was just as upset. It actually shocked me at how incredibly hard I took it. Our immediate family understood completely and were truly worried about me. A few of my friends understood how I was feeling also but only the real animal-lover friends truly understood.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You know that you can find honest sympathy and understanding here any time!
