My heart is breaking for you ... we all know how much we love our furbabies .... I can tell you that time heals all (long time though) and your yorkie shall live forever in your heart! The hole in your heart will never go away, but it shall get smaller ...

'You'll get over it...' It's the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don't get over it because 'IT' is the furbaby you loved.

The pain stops, there are new furbabies, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularities of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not erased by anyone or anything but death.

This hole in your heart is in the shape of your furbaby and no one else can fit. Why would you want them to?”

with condolences,
Debbie
