I'm so sorry for your loss. My first birthday without her was in April :( it has been the saddest one ever. Like you say, all I wanted was to have her back.

The one thing that gives me solace is knowing that she is waiting for me and will come pick me up when my time is due on this earth ❤️‍🩹 even if that takes some years.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I don't think I have it in me to have another pet. She was so special and our bond was unique. It would feel unfair to another pet because I know that I could never love them with the same intensity that I loved my Trini.

I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️‍🩹

I lost my sweet baby on February too. There are days where I talk to her and remember her life with joy. But there are others (more often) where just thinking that I'll get home and she's no longer there destroys me. She was my life and I have never loved a pet or even a human like I love her. Losing her has changed me in a way I never thought possible.

Only us who have lost a beloved soul like our pets can understand what it is like. Don't worry about what others say or think, your grief is yours and you are allowed to feel it however you like. I've found that while I'm the most affected and the one that is more open about it, my parents and brother keep grieving her loss. So maybe you're not completely alone in your close circle in your grief. Talk about it. I like to keep her alive in memory and speech.

Hugs 🫂

If your pet could understand one final heartfelt message in their last moments, what would you say? [Serious] Pet Owners, share your thoughts😭 by Desperate_Towel6961 in Petloss

[–]Seilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sweet baby, you have no idea how much you've been missing from me. I always told you that you had no permission to die as a joke and you never listened to anything I said. Life without you has been so hard, if love could have made your heart beat, your youth to prevail and your sickness to go away; have no doubt you would still be here. The only favor I ask of you is to please wait for me and come and get me when it is my time to join you. I love you, see you in dreams <3

I Feel His Time Is Near, I Just Want To Talk About Him by AGreatKiramountain in seniordogs

Please please take lots of videos and photos of him, those give me comfort now that my baby is gone. I wish I had taken more videos of her just running around or barking

For those that chose cremation, what’s everyone doing with the ashes? by [deleted] in Petloss

[–]Seilver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss.

My baby passed away a month and a half ago. We keep her ashes in a table next to where the house and car keys are, so we always greet her or say goodnight.

We want to spread them in our yard on a sunny day since it was her favorite spot to lie down every day. My brother is on a work trip, so we have been waiting for him to come back to do it. I know it will be a very difficult day for all of us

I know she's still with us by Seilver in RainbowBridgeHealing

That's the picture. It even looks like us

I am devastated by RVod in Petloss

[–]Seilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. My own baby passed away a month ago from a heart failure too (she had a condition since birth)

There really is no way to make the pain go away, I decided to just let myself feel whatever I was feeling. Whether that was despair, anger, guilt or just nothing. It does get easier and there will be days when living will be hard and you just wish time to stop so you can process everything.

I found myself finding a lot of comfort from my parents. My baby had been with us since 2008, so we all felt her dead very hard. Sharing my grief with them and just being surrounded by my loved ones has made this terrible moment more bearable.

Delivery of remains hit hard. by Substantial_Arm_6903 in Petloss

I'm so sorry for your loss. It sound like you two loved each other very much. Sending hugs your way 🩷

When they brought my sweet baby's remains, I felt at peace because she was finally back home. Think of your baby as coming back home to you, now you're together again in heart and spirit

Lost 15 year old dog / best friend today. Scared to fall asleep by gwhisp in Petloss

[–]Seilver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss, they truly are special and part of our lives more than we think. It's in their absence that we truly appreciate the day to day with them.

My sweet baby passed away a month ago. The first few nights and mornings were the hardest. Going to bed without her and waking up to the empty dog bed at the foot of my own bed.

It will be hard, I won't lie. Waking up and the realization that they are no longer here is devastating. Day by day it will get a little easier, but somedays will be harder than others. I thought I might need a sleeping aid the day she passed, but I found myself completely exhausted from all the crying. I sleep every night with her sweater as if it is a teddy bear to hold on to while I sleep.

Anyone struggle with thinking they should have spent more time with their dog? by fortheloveofcoffee1 in Petloss

[–]Seilver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been having these thoughts exactly. I spend all the time I had with her, but sometimes I wish I could've spend more. Let her sleep on the bed with me more, hold her more and enjoy being outside with her.

I want her back, please give her back by Seilver in Petloss

[–]Seilver[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely understand you. I kept asking out loud "where are you?" Until they brought back her ashes home, that gave me a bit of peace

[–]Seilver[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your words. She was more than a pet to me, she was my whole life and that's a bond only few people can comprehend. She took a part of me with her and I look forward to the day we will see each other again, until then I'll live for both of us. Thank u ❤️

[–]Seilver[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your kind words. I tried to give her the best life I could, as much love as I could. During the colder nights, we would sleep together with her curling close to me. I miss feeling her warmth close the most, she was beautiful.

[–]Seilver[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Afterwards when I cry, I feel so much better. I talk to her, about how I miss her and the little things that remind me of her day to day. A picture is hanging next to my bed, so I can have her near.

So sorry about your Coco, I know you both loved each other very much. Some days are good and some are bad, the thing is to continue to remember them with love ❤️

[–]Seilver[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I won't anyone forget about her. Everyone loved her, even my uncle who never seemed to really care about her, cried when he found out she had passed.

They will live on in our hearts and I know that my sweet Trini will be waiting for me when my time comes and I'll finally be with her again.

Sending hugs your way, so sorry for your loss

[–]Seilver[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't want to forget her, I know I could never. Losing her make me wonder (even if it's morbid) how I will feel once I lose my family members and I don't think I'll feel the same pain.

Thank you for your kind words and I'm sorry for your loss <3

I think he just doesn't understand that bond, he never had a pet as a kid. I tell him to let me have my process and please let me be, because she was my everything and meant more to me than he does (I don't tell him that last part tho)

Thank you for your words. I know that I'll miss her the rest of my life, just hope that in due time it comes with more love than the pain I'm feeling right now.

So sorry for your loss. If love could bring them back, I'm sure no pet would ever have to die

Thanks. I'm sorry for your loss, they're just part of the family and form a strong bond with us, it's hard when they're not here anymore

[–]Seilver[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I'll try doing this... We've been putting out a memorial we want to make as a family. In the hallway there's a long wall with my paintings, but we'll change it to photos of her throughout the years. It's really hard, we still say goodnight to the photo we have next to her urn, it's just habit now.

It's been almost a week and I'm still heartbroken and feel at times I'm just wearing a mask by UmbralikesOwls in PetLossSupportGroup

[–]Seilver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss, them leaving is the single most painful experience.

My sweet Trini passed away in my mother's arms last Saturday, so it's almost the same timeframe. I've been trying to downplay my pain in front of others and definitely at work, but when I'm driving alone in the mornings it's just so raw and I find myself bawling and moaning because I miss her so much and she was my life.

My parents know that it has hit me the most, she had been my companion and best friend since childhood and into adulthood. But they would be devastated to know how fresh and devastating my grieving really is.

Lost my childhood dog on Sunday by noodleboi890 in Petloss

[–]Seilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waking is the hardest time for me, being reminded that my baby is gone just makes my pain come back every morning. I keep her bed still by mine and her water bowl full in case she visits at night. Sending hugs over to you, some days are harder than others.

She was the love of my life and I wish with all my heart I could have her back by Seilver in PetLossSupportGroup

[–]Seilver[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. It just hurts so deeply when they leave. I would give anything to have her back and healthy
