Did you know there's a mailing list you get put on when they die? I'm getting advertisements in the mail for monuments. Isn't that incredibly sad?

Mary, do you have any girlfriends? Anyone who can be with you in some of those long hours? Realize that people will act like they are avoiding you because they have no clue what to do. If you can possibly reach out and tell people what you need, I'm sure you will find them happy to help. Thinking about you a LOT.

Fly free, Bounce.
I'm sure she's with her Papa. I'm so sorry for how difficult it was, but at least it confirmed you made the right decision, as horrible as that is to say.

So terrible painful grief has set in. I'm not sure what to say or how to explain.
I cut myself yesterday for the first time in years. I have an appt. with the psychiatrist in a few hours. Nights are the worst and absolutely horrific. I want to lie in bed and give up and die. I want Kevin to be alive again. I want to live through one day without it taking everything in me. |

i went to the psychiatrist. got sleeping pills for the nights. stopped cutting it was just that once.
have had some disagreements with his family about certain things but i guess we're alright now. my stomach feels shredded. it is upset and i eat a lot of tums. my intestines are not happy. lots of people stopping by the house. some helpful, some not. got a tattoo of Kevin's initials on my shoulder. have the crappy task of figuring out what to do with this dogs. got his turtle rehomed. his oldest and dearest dog went with his sister. heart wrenching decisions on the other two. i got his ashes. i talk to them alot. i wander aimlessly. i listen to sad songs and watch movies and order books about being a widow. i go from passive despair to anger and fury to numb and distant. i have heard horrible screams come out of me from the bottom of my soul. i have felt bitterness towards happy people or others moving on. i have been lost. |

Thanks, guys.
Our regular vet contacted me and assured me it was for the best. The vet last night also told me that Bounce showed some signs of brain tumor which would explain some of her unpredictable behavior. Poor girl. There was a peace after she left. Almost felt like Kevin had been waiting for his dog before moving on. There's something wrong with my car so I have a friend who is handy stopping by to give me his opinion. I hope it's not too expensive to fix. Last thing I'd need right now. |



your friend will be able to fix the car easily. You're right, it is the last thing you need.|
LDG, your post was very meaningful to me. Thank you for taking the time to write it

Bounce. I once had a doberman that became very, very vicious, like you describe. We found out he had a brain tumor too. He was then euthanized. That very well could have been the cause. I am just so very heartsick for all of your loss. Hold on, things will get better, but it takes time, and it is different for everyone. There is no time frame for the grief you are dealing with.
