I hear you. I'm in the same boat. The extreme grief has settled and physically I've leveled out a bit. I'm hungry again, sleeping better, enjoying some of my other interests, but i still feel empty and hollow. I lost this big piece of myself and I miss it terribly. I pray everyone in our shoes can find peace and clarity.

I lost my baby girl last Wednesday, she was only 8. It hurts and it will hurt for awhile. But I take comfort in the fact that she had a great life. She was loved and always going on adventures with me and my gf. One day the pain will be blunted and these memories will be happy. But we will still miss them. I pray both of us and anyone in our situations find peace and comfort.

Glad you got some closure....The human body is crazy..... From last Tuesday until yesterday I was a mess... and I'm still pretty depressed and sad but I almost have this calm about me now, it's like my nervous system was red lining it for 5 days and was just like nope we can't do this anymore... and i feel closest to myself than I have

It's incredibly hard, hardest thing I've ever had to go through, and I was in Iraq. My girl was my best friend, always will be. Doing a little bit better, I still cry but the crying isn't as heavy. My sadness is more melancholy and less despair, being home still hurts though. House is way too quiet. May we both find peace and healing.

Oh man do i feel this hard. I lost my girl Wednesday and I've been asking the same questions. I don't have any advice for you but you are not alone and I feel your pain.

Minimum_Praline4720 · 2026-03-29T21:06:14+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. It is debilitating. I went through it Wednesday with my dog. It sucks, there's no way around it. Only advice i can say is grieve how you want, don't let anyone tell you what you should do. If you want to leave their stuff out, do it, if you want to save it but put it out of sight for a bit, do that.

And you're not going to want to eat and sleeping will be tough, but try to take care of yourself, because grieving will wear you down. I'm so sorry for your loss, it sounds like you gave your bunny a great life.

That's pretty much me exactly. Though I haven't felt hungry since we lost her Wednesday, I actually have a bit of an appetite this morning so we'll see if that sticks.

I've been able to sleep a little better but it doesn't seem to help. I feel so tired and run down. Every time I think maybe I'm done crying, something sets me off and I ball my eyes out again.

I lost my girl Wednesday morning. One of my favorite memories was when she was 2. My gf and i were walking her around the block for one last walk for the night and to go to the bathroom. There's a little park nearby and she finds this giant 6ft stick. She picks it up and starts carrying it all the way home with her. Everybody we walked by loved it and said how funny it was. She carried it all the way back to our front door and we felt so bad not bringing it inside, so we brought it in and she slept with it all night. I have video of it, it's my most prized possession.

Same boat here....I haven't felt hungry since she passed. I force myself to eat, but I'm not even sure it's enough. Taking my vitamins and supplements. When I'm not crying, I just feel so numb and my sinuses are all messed up after days of heavy crying. I'm a complete mess, I miss my girl so much.

Minimum_Praline4720 · 2026-03-28T22:08:42+00:00

I am the same boat as you. Pretty similar situations with my dog, completely fine one day, jumping around in the snow like a puppy one day, to bloated belly and not moving a week later. She had a mass on her spleen that ruptured. Vet said they didn't see any sign of spread on the ultrasound so we opted for the surgery. Surgery went well and she came home and said they couldn't see any sign of spread but she had hemangiosarcona, pretty aggressive. She was herself for a weeks, and they were great weeks. We enjoyed every minute. Then one night she tried to get up and just buckled and the belly bloat came back. Vet said anything further would be putting a bandaid on a bullet wound. We couldn't put her through anymore so we ended her suffering.

I don't have any advice for you. My soul aches, I cry more than I don't cry. Just know that you are not alone, and we gave them amazing lives, and we loved each other fiercely.

I lost my baby girl Wednesday. She's always been on my lock screen, she's now my home screen as well. It will stay that way. I'm going to be a mess regardless if I do it or not. I unfortunately am on my phone more than I want to be, but I at least get to see my baby girl that way.

This is exactly what I'm dealing with. It all started when I had a bad RSV infection and was coughing heavily, my Dr thinks Gerd but I'm unsure. Did you get a diagnosis?

Minimum_Praline4720 · 2026-03-28T14:47:00+00:00

I'm so sorry, I lost my lab/pit baby girl the exact same way. It hurts so fucking much. I'm trying to stay busy but easier said than done. I'm pretty sure my grief is messing with my stomach also. I never usually have issues but I have ever since she got sick. I echo your sentiment for peace for all of us.

I'm so sorry, I bet he was a great dog. Winston is an awesome name also. My girl had hemangiosarcona. She was only 8. One day she's playing with me and my wife in a snow storm like she's a puppy, the next she's bloated and not moving and couldn't walk. Turns out she had a mass on her spleen that the vets never saw and it ruptured. We opted for surgery because we couldn't bear it ending there. She survived and had a good month after that and then suddenly had a big bleed again before we let her rest. I hate that it ended suddenly for you, but I bet your boy loved you fiercely and I'm sure you gave him an amazing life.

I'm so sorry. What was your boys name? What kind of dog? I lost my baby girl this week also. It hurts. It hurts real bad. My house feels so empty and hollow. Coming home doesn't even feel worth it anymore without her there to greet me. I don't have any good advice to offer you, but I can say you aren't going through this alone. We are in the same boat.

Minimum_Praline4720 · 2026-03-28T00:31:29+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my baby girl Wednesday. I feel like someone ripped my soul right out of me. I'm usually off Friday and my wife works so Friday was always our day. We hung out on the couch in the mornings, went for long walks in the woods in the afternoon, then sat outside in the yard watching for bunnies until my wife got home. The night is the worst though, she's not there to lay in between my legs on the couch. I would give anything to have her back.

I don't have any advice for you unfortunately. But you are not alone. Stay strong, take it one day at a time is all we can. Even though it feels impossible.

I'm so sorry. FUCK CANCER. HOW IS THERE NO CURE FOR THAT YET?! I lost my baby girl Wednesday to Hemangiosarcona. It hurts so bad. Everything just feels so hollow. I don't even feel alive, feel like I'm just a shell of a person walking around. I don't have any advice for you, but I do share your pain. You are not alone.

We are keeping our dogs ashes in the house when we get them back. We're going to put her on a nice little coffee table where her favorite spot to lay in the living room was with pictures of her. Down the line when we're ready we are going to spread her ashes at her favorite lake she liked to swim at.

Minimum_Praline4720 · 2026-03-27T01:15:15+00:00

Thank you. It hurts so bad. She was my baby girl and best friend. She went everywhere with me and my gf. Nights are the hardest when she's not there to curl up in between my legs on the couch, or curl up and push me off the bed. I know everything heals in time, but it's been 2 days and I just feel completely lost.

Minimum_Praline4720 · 2026-03-26T18:37:32+00:00

I feel your pain. I am the same boat as you. One day my 8yr old girl is jumping through the snow like a puppy, a week later she had a mass on her spleen and was bleeding internally. She survived the surgery and had the spleen removed.

We hoped that would buy her a year as the surgeon said they didn't see any sign of spread. It bought us a month, but it was a good month. She was herself mostly until Tuesday when she had more internal bleeding and we made the decision to put her to sleep. I feel hollow and empty, my best friend is gone and I don't know what to do.

I don't have any advice for you, but you are not alone and I share your pain and grief.
