| Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm getting ready to go to work and still can't focus on anything else but the hole I feel in my heart. It still feels like a bad dream. I just want to wake up and see my little Bruin there jumping at my feet, begging to be held. Oh God, why did you have to take him away from us so soon? I can't wait the rest of my life to understand the answer to that. |

I am hurting with you, as this is exactly how Me and my Husband will feel and grieve when we are faced with the passing our one of ours. I lost a person that was everything to me when I was 23 - boy did my life change in that instance. I don't think I handled it the best way, but I was young and did what made me get thru the best way I knew how at the time. Some of the things that helped me and still do is my talking to him, sometimes in my head and sometimes out loud. I also have a very special sign and it makes me feel really happy when I see it. I don't know why things happen, but there are reasons, and I know how tough it is to think that we have to wait a long time to see them and find out why, but just think about how exciting it will be when we are reunited ~ that's what keeps me going.... I know that pain and hurt and the feeling of no control when we loose a special person, so I am so fearful to go thru that again, but I also know there's no way of stopping it, so I try to focus on 'when we meet again'. I don't know if this helped you at all, but I am draw to you and just wanted to share Last edited by TLC; 03-23-2009 at 06:44 AM. | |

I never owned a pet before, so I never knew the extent of the true love and care and the happiness and the void that they fulfil (if you allow it). I know that you do not feel complete anymore, and that your are very sad and lost, and you feel anxious about not having control anymore because you lost something so sacred and precious. These are the normal things to feel when your love goes so deep. Sometimes we get to keep what we love for a long, long time, and sometimes we only get to treasure them briefly. Which ever the case is, this deep love makes us stronger. Although you are in the sad moments right now, your still on a good path. You have a family, a wife and a daughter and your baby Kahlua and in time, you may open your home to another one, who will not take his place, but add new memories and add new love to heal your heart | |

| I am so sorry for your loss. I have lost pets before and can understand what you are going through. While I still miss them it does get easier with time. We are all thinking of you. |

| I am so sorry and send my sympathy to you and your wife. This forum is such therapy in that only dog people can know the pain we feel when we lose one of these dear friends of ours. I don't know what I would have done without YT when I lost my 14 yr. old yorkie last June, they were all such a help. Glad you decided to join us, it will be good for you. Hugs to you and your wife. Joan

| Can't thank you all enough for the encouraging replies. It's been a rough day at work just trying to keep my head up, but periodic visits to this forum and thread have kept me going. My wife just called me saying she was on her way home and that getting through her day was a lot harder than she expected too. Amazing how a little 3.5 lb rugrat can leave such an imprint on your heart. When I get home I think I'll take my other Yorkie Kahlua for a walk to make sure her spirits stay up through this. |

| 06stiman, I have a hard time coming to this section....I think all of us can never envision having to start a thread here.......You are not alone in your hurt.....sadly, I can say I understand.......I understand the unbearable hurt, the pain, the guilt, the depression, and the over whelming sadness your going though from losing your precious Bruin...... Your hurting, and it's taking all your energy just to hold back the tears.....Sadly we are never going to get an explanation for some of the tragedies we must face in life.......Sometimes all we can do is to try and stop rehearsing, rehashing and dwelling on the loss and put our time and focus on what we still have......Like your wife, daughter and Kahlua.....They still here and they are hurting too... It's been nine months since I lost my precious Joey, I still think of him often and I probably always will.....It took a couple of months before I could talk about him without breaking down...I can at least do that now...... I know sometimes life just is not fair, hang in there, and I wish you well.....

| Bruin Hello: Oh how I know how you feel! Having lost my little one 4 months ago I understand the terrible hole it leaves in ones heart and life. It is like the oxygen has been taken out of the air and nothing in life is worth doing any more. Every little thing one sees or does reminded me of her - she was EVERYWHERE; in the house, yard, car, streets etc etc. I too thought I would feel this acute pain for ever, but now I am much better and can face life again. She still appears now and again when a memory is jogged and the tears flow again and the sadness comes over me, but that passes and I move along. So it is quite normal to feel as you do now, let the mourning happen, but trust me, it will get better with time. With deepest condolences and empathy. RIP little Bruin. |

| I am deeply sorry for the loss of your Bruin. I pray that you find strength to get through each day and take care of your family too. Try to remember that Bruin wouldn't want you to feel sad--as impossible as that sounds for you to do. My heart goes out to you and your family. |
