It's been 3 months now since I lost Zack and I thought it had got easier. I've dealt with his ashes scattered some and then put the remainder in the back garden where he used to like to lie in the son. I still miss him everyday and talk about him each day.

I've been having problems though just recently - I can't cope at work - everything seems to much, and I have pressure going on at home with my mum being ill and I cry over the slightest thing. I've just been reading about grief and depression - The bargaining stage where you think could I have done something more - I've done that and then it mentions Depression which I feel reading the article is where I'm somewhere in between with Anger as I'm so angry at my manager at work at the moment - I don't want to be there - he makes these comments and I would normally think you idiot but now they're getting to me and it has me in tears and then I'm angry. I did phone a free confidential service today at work as I don't feel I'm coping. It made me realise what I'm going through is still grief but I really don't know how else to get through this. I think some people just think it's only a dog but he was real and I loved him and it really hurts.

Thanks for listening to me.

I am so sorry for what you are going through. I understand so well. Sometimes, things pile up and it becomes very hard to cope. I think it was a good idea that you called someone. It might be a good idea to continue with that for awhile until you feel better. We are here too...keep on talking with us. (hug) Jeanne

I am so sorry for your loss. How wonderful that you had 16 years with him. Rest in peace, Zack.

Sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family. My heart is broken for you all!

Zack wasn't 'only a dog', and those of us who have been blessed to have a wonderful creature share our lives understand your pain. I had to PTS my dog Beau a few months ago and there are still days I can hardly cope with the loss. I know we will never foget our beloved pets but I do know time will help ease the pain. I'm sending you a hug and hope today is a better day for you.

aww sweetie, im sending you hugs too.:hug:

Hold on to the memories
 

I'm sorry for the loss of your little man. They always remain in your heart. Hugs to you and yours:(

Yorkiegirl16..My heart breaks for you. I am so sorry for I know how you feel. I lost My Grizzley Bear in October. It is still like yesterday to me. I still cry every a day and he is always on my mind. Talk about him too. Please know you did the best and gave Zack a wonderful life. He will always be in your heart and mind. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. If I were in your presence I would give you a great big Grizzley Bear hug to comfort you. Since I am not. Please accept the ones I am sending your way.
