With you the world was right
Without you it just feels wrong
With you I was smiling
Without you I am a mess of tears
With you I was always laughing
Without you my heart is breaking
With you life was worth it
Without you I’m just not sure
With you I had a reason to get up
Without you I stay in bed until noon
With you I had a purpose
Without you I have none
With you I was never alone
Without you alone is all I am
With you is what I will always miss
Without you is now all I have become
With you my heart will always be
Without you is where I never wanted to be

I identify with your poem so much. Both my husband and I still break down in tears from time to time (most recently today -- it's been 7 weeks and we still miss our kitty) but we adopted 2 kittens very soon after and they give us a reason to get up in the morning. I would not have survived the past 7 weeks without them, I am sure I would have been in the deepest depression. I am sorry you are hurting so much missing your sweet Freeway.

Love and prayers

Jane,
I am so sorry for your loss... I'm sorry that anyone can identify...
I'm glad you were able to adopt 2 kitty's to help you through it. I truly believe that adopting a dog is ALL that will get me thru this... it's all the brings even a small genuine smile.. unfortunately members of my family do not agree and I have been outvoted. No one seems to care that I think it will help me, as far as they know I am "over it" or should be at least. I'll never be over it.... I do fear depression... I'm hanging on now, but just by a thread... It's hard to feel ok when you feel like you have nothing left to live for.. That seems so dramatic to me, he was a dog not a human.. but in truth, he was all I had, and has been for many years. My life will never again be the same... will never again be as happy.. even when I am no longer petless... nothing could ever take his place in my heart.

We just lost our baby Digweed 6 days ago. This poem really describes how I have been feeling. It's baeutiful
