I am so very sorry for your tragic loss, I know your heart is breaking.. May your baby Elly May rest in peace. Sending caring hugs for you {{{{huggles}}}}

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you must be feeling like. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your little one this evening, may she rest in peace. Yes, time does help and this is extremely new and fresh in your mind. It will take time and you probably be feeling down for a little while. Maybe talk to a counselor or even your regular family doctor if you are starting to feel too depressed. Hang in there and know that those of us here on YT are thinking of you and your little one and sending prayers your way.

OMG! I am so sorry to hear this!! you are in my thoughts..

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I too would see my pup running through the house after she passed. I believe she hadn't really left yet... her spirit was lingering, allowing me to get used to the idea that she was gone.

How does one function? I started by putting one foot in front of the other. Then I tried my daily routines, and when I reached for a food bowl to feed her, I cried remembering she was gone. I cried a little less each day. It is very hard. I felt like I had a big hole right in my heart. I had pain in my chest from it too.

I believe God takes them back when He needs them. They are precious and He only loans them to us for a time. When He takes one of mine back, I feel He knows there is another one here on Earth that needs me more, so I begin looking for one who needs a home. It helps me to get another one quickly because all my love keeps building up in my body and has no outlet. When I get a 'new' pup, then that leftover Love is put to good use, given freely to one who had no one to love them. The ones that have departed though always have a place in my heart, and I learn to cherish the happy memories and good times we had together, without so many tears.

I will pray for you that God may ease your pain and help your poor dear heart to mend. Know that your little one is free of pain and is running free at Rainbow Bridge, with many others who have crossed over the Bridge and are now waiting patiently to see their owners/friends once again. She is in good company, as are you, here with us.
Love and Hugs,
Kathy

Kathy, thank you so much for your very kind words. I see from your writing that you have also gone thru my exact pain. My chest hurts where my heart feels broken. She followed me around every where. She was so dedecated to me. Always by my side. this morning she was not there to say good morning mommy. My face burns from the many tears I have shed for her. I know she is with God now and that she is running around and having a good time. I pray that I will see her again, she needs me as well as i need her. I do have another yorkie here but she is attached to my husband and elly was mine. my other yorkie is not at all like elly, bonnie is not lovable like elly and she is old and not playful. I dont see myself getting another dog cause i could never replace my elly, no dog in the world could do that.
with in the past 3 years I have lost my mother, father, close aunt and uncle and now elly. My last child also left for college a few years back and that was horrible also. Sorry to be going on this way but all kinds of things are running thru my head right now.
Thank you to each and everyone of you for your thoughts and prayers. I and Elly truly appreciate them.


Love,
Marilyn

I am so sorry my heart breaks for you

So very sorry for your loss.

I have no experience, so cannot offer advice. But I did want to say that I am so very sorry for your loss. Bless your heart! May Elly May rest in peace. I will say a prayer for you and hugs to you during this time!

Terribly sorry for your huge loss! I will pray for you

So sad....made me have to hold back the tears. RIP wee one....

i feel like i am going to go insane, it hurts so bad,

I am so sorry for your tragic loss!

We lost 2 dogs in December 2009. My wife was so upset after the 2nd one passed that she had a stroke that night. She has heart and blood pressure problems anyway and this put her over the edge. When she got out of the hospital, the first thing she wanted to do was get another puppy. She couldn't walk and could barely talk, but she made me take her to get a new puppy. We honestly believe that getting Lilly helped my wife recover from her stroke. After almost 2 years, we still miss them terribly, but we feel that having the other dogs has helped us cope with the loss of Misty and Meadow.

Rest in peace sweet little Elly May! You will be loved and missed.

Marilyn, when I lost my dog of 13 years I was devastated and I didn't want another puppy. But one came into my life that my Mother had got after my Father passed away. Losing Nikita and my Father back to back was devastating, more so because Nikita saved me from depression after my Father passed away.

However, ChiChi, the puppy at the time, saved my heart and he is now mine. I thank him every day for comforting me in my time of loss of both Father and pet.

Another thing I did was sit down and write about everything I felt, everything I knew of both my Father and my dog. It really helped to let out all those feelings.

Time heals all wounds but, unfortunately such a tragic loss such as yours makes it harder to forget.

Rest, mourn and maybe think of how much the unconditional love of another puppy may help heal your heart a bit.

Please take care of yourself. Hugs for you.

May I ask how they died? I am 62 and believe me it isnt doing my heart any good.having to deal with this total loss. I am so sorry to hear about your and your wifes loss. Glad she is doing better

I am crying reading this. How tragic. I'm so sorry for your loss.
