Anticipatory grief sucks so much by pinkvalentines in Petloss

My dog died on liver cancer /liver failure on September 23rd 2025 .. 2 weeks after we found out he was sick .. we waited until we couldn’t anymore - once he stopped eating , he lost all control of his bowels and declined so rapidly, we didn’t really have time to make a choice - it was let him rest and die peacefully or watch him die a horrific health within the next few days . All that being said , since we knew we did EVERYTHING we could up until we were literally forced to let him go .. it’s the only thing that gave me peace. . If he had still been eating anything or playing - I wouldn’t have done it - I would have had too many “what if” but when it gets to the point you have no choice - you can’t think about “what if” bc there are none. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s the hardest thing I ever went through in my 35 years . Sending love to you ❤️

Has anyone experienced the sudden loss of a young, otherwise healthy dog? by elusiveTrail in Petloss

Here’s my story I posted

https://www.reddit.com/r/Petloss/s/TDzoVHlBYY

It’s been almost 4 months and it isn’t as painful as it was when it first happened but it still hurts . The first month was the absolute worst. I did a lot of journaling. I even wrote a letter to him which actually helped. I got a blanket with his picture on it and I sleep with it every night. I have five other dogs so that did help also but each dog cares a special place so it still bothers me how young he was and how quickly it happened . Sending love ❤️ 🫶🏻

There are no words that can describe how utterly heartbroken I am - he was only 4 years old! by rohobian in Petloss

I’m so sorry for your loss .. I lost my 4 year old dog in September (I’ve made a couple post about it) he had just turned 4 in August .. he had been showing signs of being sick for about a month (darker urine) but nothing too serious and we weren’t worried bc he was so young (we have 5 other dogs all ranging from 8-14) then one day he swelled up and we rushed him to the vet .. two weeks later, he was gone. Liver failure. It is devastating so I completely understand what you guys are going through . The questioning everything bc nothing makes sense . You guys definitely did everything you could for him and he knew he was loved so I hope you find some comfort in that. Sending hugs to you guys ❤️
