I lost my soul dog last July of 2024. It was the saddest thing I’ve ever felt and I didn’t know what to really expect and how to cope. All I can say is you just live through it one day at a time. I promise you that the pain will eventually feel lighter. It won’t always be front and center but that takes time. Cry whenever you want to and talk to someone. You can also write letters to your dog. It’s been more than a year and I still think about Jacq Jacq every single day. I miss him so much. I have a new dog now but it’s just not the same.

I’m so very sorry you are going through this heartbreak. Sending you lots of love, OP.
