Sorry to hear that :(

Won't ever truly get over it, but it will get easier to cope with after a week or 2 and you will be back to normal and every day life.

I feel what you're going through, I put my 11 year old lab down last summer and still get a watery eye every now and again when I think of him. I cried more when he died than when some family members died, as horrible as it sounds.
 
Sorry for your loss.


You will be fine once the routine of life reasserts itself in time. How long is different for everyone and depends on the nature of the loss.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss.

Loss is a very strange feeling and very hard to deal with for some people. I lost my mam to cancer just over two years ago, I have good days/weeks and then something just 'clicks' in my head and back to that dark place I go.
 
Well.

I was 15 when my old man passed, due to circumstances I've always felt partly responsible. I dealt with it by going on a 6 year pill binge, I'm 28 now. I still think about him from time to time but I don't dwell and I don't blame myself.

Life goes on.

Same thing happened me last year man. Get a wee pup the same type. The pain does fade... eventually. They become part of the family but you have got to let it go.

I've been trying to find the right time to get two kittens to look after from a cat rescue home type of place.

Am I missing something? Spoffle said he was trying to find the right time to adopt some kittens from a rescue centre and you just went off on one. :confused:
 
As you've asked i cope with loss or death because i accept it happen's in life.

Seeing someone upset is upsetting but for me if an animal or person died painlessly i don't seem to get upset and just accept it.

I stay calm and carry on.

I always thought their was something wrong with me not crying about someone dying close to me but this is how i deal with it.

Their is nothing wrong with crying over the dead though..

Gwen who was my puppy I grew up with at the age of 7, we found her at the RSPCA in Bryn Y Maen and after looking at the endless rows of kennels we was about to call it a day and try again another time until my father noticed a few more kennels we hadn't checked out. There was this family who was in front us and stopped to look at this little black collie puppy and the children were ecstatic with joy and the parents agreed to that this was the dog they wanted, however the feelings were not mutual as she just layer there with no interest.

When the parents returned for some reason they decided not go ahead and they left, shortly as they left myself and my little brother wanted to have a look to see what the fuss was about and as we pocked our heads around out of the blue this little puppy was jumping 6ft in the air barking her head off with joy.

She passed away 5 months ago after her health suddenly declined and I had the choice of either watching her wither away or let her go with dignity and painfully I had to let her go and the next day we took Gwen to the vets and that was that.

I still can't accept she's gone and when I visit home I keep thinking she'll be there waiting, odd habit I've found myself having. You don't get over it you just learn to deal with it.
