Still Hurting

My sweet dog. I’m missing you so much today. For the last few days, the pain has been worse and there’s no specific reason that I can think of. I have your dog bed in front of the window where you loved to lie for hours. I keep hoping to see you there. Sometimes I forget and look for you when I get home in the morning 🙁 Then I remember. Every tear that falls is a reminder of you and how special you still are to me. As Christmas grows closer, I’m dreading it. I’m very thankful for Dasher. His goofiness makes me smile. I thank you for sending him to me. But, he’s yet another reminder that you’re no longer here and that kills me.

you don’t get over such a pain in a short period of time. it will take time for you to adjust to his absence. grieve as you need to. there’s no limit on the time you need to grieve. my husband is still grieving the loss of zelda. she died on the 2nd of january this year. i’m sure the one year anniversay will be difficult for him. take care,

saw you on the front page and wanted to send my symphathies for your loss of Duke. It hurts so deeply to lose a friend like he was to you.
