I can feel your pain. We lost our darling Daisy last May at only a year and a half old. It happened during a particularly hard time for our family as our daughter was ill. Daisy was the light of our lives. She made all of the bad things our family was going through seem temporarily gone. My daughter (and the rest of us) couldn't take the whole in our lives. Four days later we brought Darcy home. Darcy didn't by any means replace Daisy, but she helped our family through a tough time. I introduced Daisy, in her resting place, to Darcy and told her that it was because of her that we brought Darcy into our lives. I also had the pleasure of introducing Rocky to Daisy four months ago. We are still going through rough times and treat our furbabies like royalty. I think we have a very special family both human and canine (feline and bird too). Don't worry about how you grieve, we all do what we need to do. |
