Full Version: Heartbroken
I'm new here and not quite sure what or where to post just yet, but wanted to express my devastation for the loss of my beloved "baby" dog who was put gently to sleep two days ago. She was called Lilly and I loved her so much and my heart is broken. She is all around me and I can see her everywhere in the house, but I can't hold her, cuddle her or comfort her. She was only six but developed liver failure. I did all I could to try to save her. I miss her so much and am hurting so badly.
I am so very sorry to hear that your sweet Lilly is no longer physically with you! There is NOTHING like this kind of grief, and I'm glad you found this site for support.
I can only imagine how heartbroken you must feel ! Even though Lilly's spirit is still with you, it's not the same when you can't hold her in your arms. There's such an emptiness that words can't describe.
Since Lilly is no longer confined by the time/space laws, one thing that's different for her now is that to her it will seem like only an instant before you are fully reunited with her--when it is your time to pass. She is in a blissful state where she will never know any physical or emotional pain but wants YOU to be okay. If the roles were reversed and it was you who had passed on, you wouldn't want her feeling bad about anything.
Do you have other family members (human and/or furry)? And anyone in your life who is supportive as you go through this painful journey? And you have us. I hope you will be here often and let us know how you are doing.
Heartfelt empathy, and prayers of comfort, coming your way.

Hi, SoSad, please permit me to add my sincerest sympathies in the physical loss of your beloved Lilly. Losing a companion is never easy regardless of the circumstances or how long we are blessed with the privilege of their company. Euthanasia is the last gift of love we can give to our companions at great sacrifice to ourselves so that they can be restored to their former youthfulness in the company of the angels.
SoSad, this grief journey is one of the most painful experiences you will know on this side of eternity. It is a journey that is filled with many ups and downs, twists and turns and turnarounds which is why it is frequently referred to as a horror roller coaster ride. It is a journey that can only be traveled one day at a time, sometimes one moment at a time, for you are now on a journey that is filled with all the first withouts and the memories that can be all too painful right now that include this time yesterday, last week, last month, last year to endure.
This grief journey is painful both emotionally and physically, and the stress from grieving can lower the immune system making us more vulnerable to illness. So it is very important that you get as much rest as possible and keep the stress levels as low as possible. Scientific studies prove that every time our companion licks / kiss us, touch / rub against us they are chemically imprinting themselves onto us so that they can identify us from the millions of other people on this planet. When they precede us to the angels, we literally experience a withdrawal from this chemical imprint - - which is one of the many reasons why it is so painful to not be able to hold them, touch them, see them, hear them. Some people who are enduring the severe pain of physical separation during the very deep grief find it helpful to hold a toy, a blanket, a collar - - something - - that belongs only to their beloved companion particularly when the deep sorrow is overwhelming. I have found this helpful as well. No, it isn't the same as holding their sweet physical body in our arms - - but it does help to soothe the soul even as we are crying tears of deepest sorrow.
As our forum friend Kathy has already comfortingly sharing with you, even though your beloved Lilly is no longer physically with you, her sweet Living Spirit continues to share your earthly journey as she always has and always will. Love is eternal, SoSad - - it is not restricted to the physical laws of time and space. Your beloved Lilly is always and forever a part of your heart and memories - - she is always and forever a heartbeat close to you whatever you do and wherever you go.
I know all too well from first hand experience that when our hearts are entrenched in deep grief there are no adequate words in any language that can soothe the searing pain of sorrow. Still I hope the words I share with you will offer you some measure of comfort, support, encouragement, and hope as you travel your grief adjustment journey.
Thank you so much for honoring us in sharing your beloved Lilly with us, SoSad. Perhaps you would like to share a picture of her with us sometime - - but only when / if you want to. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, SoSad, and please let us know how you're doing.
Peace and blessings,

Kathy and Moonbeam,
Thank you so very much. I’m sitting here sobbing, in such deep pain. She was so beautiful, sweet and gentle and I loved her so, so much. I’m also suffering from a relationship break-up, but truly I would go through that 100 times to have my little girl back in my arms. The pain is truly indescribable. She was an adorable Schnauzer and the cutest little girl. I’m so heartbroken. I am wearing her purple collar on my arm and I have her blanket with me. I can still feel her and I just don’t want her to go. Your words were comforting at the thought of her Spirit still being with me. Thank you for being here and listening.

I feel for you so much!!
And the relationship break-up adds to the feeling of emptiness and the feeling of being alone! (Although I sure know what you mean about going through that 100 times to have Lilly back in your arms!)
This might not be anything you're ready to even begin to think about right now - but it's just an idea... Do you feel you might be able to adopt another sweet soul, in Lilly's honor? I can tell, from the depth of your feelings, that you are a devoted, loving person, and some needy animal out there would be extremely lucky to have you as a parent. Lilly would be proud... if and when you are ready.
How are you getting through these days? Some things that helped me when I lost my Dolly Girl to kidney failure (in 2012... she was 9) were to cuddle with my other 2 kitties, play games online, watch tv, reach out to people who understand this kind of pain, and avoid those who don't. One friend told me, and I'll never forget these words: "God gave Dolly to you because there was no one better suited to be her mother." I know the same is true of you when it comes to Lilly. I also found myself making lists of things that reassured me that I had given her a good earthly life. Guilt is such an awful part of grief that I tended to focus on things I could have done better! So I needed reassurance.
Sending you a big hug and more prayers. Keep checking in here.

Hello Sosad,
Just wanted to say I totally get where you are coming from. I lost my doggy Storm back in 2010 (can't believe it's 5 years) and it was devastating. I walked around with 'funny' eyes for days from crying so much. Nothing in this world could have prepared me for how devastating it would be when he was gone, he was 14 years old.
I have just lost my 19 year old cat Cloud and once again I am in the same place again. Devastated.
I am trying to think of how much of a great life she had, and how lucky we were to have 'met' each other so long ago. She was my husband's and my first cat when we bought our first house together 19 years ago now (I was so young back then!). We've been through so much - moving, (many times), birth of my 3 children, and everything else in between, but most of all we had the best bond ever.
Hoping you are having a better day today, I am trying not to think too much about my missing girl, but I have to remember she's not really missing, she's always in my heart and in my mind's eye.
Hugs to you.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I too am in great pain as my best friend Dylan(see pic) just died on Saturday. I am dreading tomorrow night. She died unexpectedly and was only 8. We had a very tight and special bond. She was the only living being who couldn't wait for me to get home from work and once home, went out of her way to be at my side at all times. Today was very difficult as I couldn't ignore the fact that this time last week, I was looking forward to the weekend, unaware of how my world would come crashing down suddenly on Saturday night for reasons I will never know. Dylan was fine all day and I now obsess over everything we did that day before she collapsed while outdoors. I take comfort in the fact that she must not have suffered and she spared me the pain of witnessing her death. I do hate and resent that she died alone in the dark after simply being let outdoors to do her business. It is clear that the pain will continue for a long time. She was very special. It is comforting to know that I am not the only one who is going through this although I truly wish no one had to feel this pain. Peace to us all.
So sorry for your loss.
I too wish that none of us ever had to experience this pain. It truly does hurt so deep that it takes your breath away. Unfortunately, we all have lost precious loved ones and honestly I think it hurts so much more than losing some humans!
It will be seven years this June since I lost my Lily, and six next month since we had to say goodbye to her sister Hunny. And a year and a half since we lost George. Seems like such a long time, but it still hurts as much as when they left me. Maybe just not as often, but it's still there and still very real. I miss them with everything that I am.
This is a really great website.
Again, sorry for your loss.
Lynette.

Dear Lynette, Miki, Kathy, Moonbeam, StormyCloud,
Thank you so much for your support and understanding. I relate to each of your pain at losing your precious loved ones, blessings to Lily, Hunny, George, Storm, Cloud, Dolly Girl and little Dylan, my heart aches for you all. It's been 11 days since I lost my beautiful Lilly and the pain is still intense. Losing my little girl has been the most heart wrenching sorrowful loss of my life and I miss her so much. I take comfort in not being alone with this pain. Lilly gave me so much love and support and I loved her right back. She was truly a beautiful, gentle soul. The vet sent me a card a few days ago with her little pawprint and I have never sobbed so much in all my life. I understand it will not always be this painful, but right now it's truly a struggle. I wish she could come back. Thank you all again and please know that I am thinking of you all and your beloved little ones.

Sosad,
You are truly a compassionate person to be able to empathize with the pain of others here, even while dealing with your raw grief ! We are in this together.
Many prayers of comfort headed your way--and the biggest ones are from precious Lilly.

Hi, SoSad, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing. Please let me try to reassure you that what you feeling and experiencing is very normal deep grief - - very painful both emotionally and physically, yes - - still very normal. Unfortunately there is no easy way to navigate this grief adjustment journey - - there are no fast forward or delete buttons we can press to speed up the journey or make it automatically disappear. One of the many important things you need to remember is that we are here for you for as long and as often as you need us - - we are here for you, with you, and beside you through every step of your grief adjustment journey.
I hope today is treating you kindly, SoSad, and that you will have a peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Lilly's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and please let us know how you're doing.
Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Moon_beam, thank you so very much. My heart is truly breaking and I keep getting these bouts of gut wrenching grief where I can only sob. I'm missing my baby girl so much. I have her ashes beside me and I'm wearing her purple collar on my arm to keep her near. I know she would not want me to be hurting like this, but I just cannot bear the loss of her. She was my baby, someone to take care of, to love, to hold, to play with. She followed me everywhere in the house and always kept so close beside me. My boys used to joke that she was my little shadow. I have had beloved pets before, but Lilly's loss has completely floored me. I would give anything to have her back. I have never felt pain quite like this before. Thank you for listening.
Hi, SoSad, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing. The deep sorrow in your heart is palpable in your words, and my heart aches for you. Indeed, the deep grief is overwhelming which is why it is so vitally important that you provide yourself the opportunities you need to release your deep sorrow even if you must find a private place away from others to do so. One of our forum correspondents wrote once that the tears we cry in our deepest sorrow are like jewels sparkling the prism of love we share with our beloved companions, and our beloved companions are there with us collecting our tears to transform them into a jeweled crown of love which they give to us when it is our appropriate time to join them in eternal joy. So go ahead and cry, SoSad - - and know that each tear your heart now cries in deepest sorrow is transformed by your beloved Lilly into a magnificent jeweled crown of love which one day you will wear in unending joy.
I hope today is treating you kindly, SoSad, and that you will have a peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Lilly's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and please let us know how you're doing.

It's been 18 days since I lost my little girl and I'm still hurting so very much. The house is empty without her and I can still see and feel her everywhere. She used to sleep beside me and would cuddle up on the sofa and follow me everywhere. I loved her so very much and I'm lost without her to love and take care of and she loved me too. This truly is the most painful loss of my life and I'm struggling. I am working up to posting a photo of her, but find it so painful to look at her. I feel so guilty that I didn't notice her illness sooner, that I couldn't afford to take her to the vet more often. I'm sorry just having a meltdown moment of pure, utter grief. I love her so much and need her.
Hi Sosad,
Just wanted to know I'm thinking of you....hope you have a better day tomorrow. I find myself trying not to think about Cloud...it's not been two weeks yet since she's gone. I left some of her fur around my tub in our ensuite bathroom, where she used to sleep on the pile of towels, just so I could look at it once in a while. I don't want to clean all her fur away..weird I know! I hope you have some 'silly' keepsakes to turn your thoughts from sad ones to happy ones.
Losing a dog is so hard, they are everywhere with you - around the house, in the car, outside with you - losing my dog was a billion times harder than I ever imagined it would be. Just before my dog died in 2010 (about a month before), my sister had been telling me about a friend of hers whose dog had to be put down, and I thought 'well, he was an old dog and all'. The next month, Storm died. It was so unbelievably painful, nobody could have prepared me for that. I felt hollow.
Hugs to you, I do understand that pain. Hoping you have a better day tomorrow.

Hi, SoSad, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing. This grief journey is so very painful, particularly during the deep grief when every minute of every hour of every day is a constant reminder that our beloved companion is no longer physically with us - - it can feel like even the structure of the house is mourning. Unfortunately there is no easy way to navigate this grief adjustment journey, SoSad - - there are no fast forward or delete buttons we can press to speed up the process or make it automatically disappear. This is one of the many reasons why it is so very important for you to know you are among friends here who truly do understand what you are going through with the reassurance that we are here for you for as long and as often as you need us.

Hi, SoSad
I am truly sorry about Lilly. My heart goes out for you. I am so grateful that there is a site such as this to express our sorrow and grief.
I lost my cat, Tama, on March 31, and picked up her ashes last night (April 2) from the vet. She passed away at the vet, and I just wish that I was there with her at the end. I regret that I did not hold her when she took her last breath.
Fortunately, it's spring break at my school (I'm a school teacher), and I can cry at home anytime I want to or need to. I've called my sister and my daughter who experienced their pets passing recently, and they have given me great comfort.
Please know that you are not alone here - we are all here for you.

I just want to say a big, big thank you to everyone who reached out to comfort me when I lost my little girl. It's coming up to three months now and the pain is easing, but there are moments like now when my heart is just broken. I can still feel her.
I just want to say that I love you Lilly with all my heart and soul. I miss you each and everyday. Mummy loves you very much and please be happy, joyful and safe until we meet again.
To all out there who have lost a beloved pet my heart goes out to you tonight.

Hi, SoSad, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing, and your and your beloved Lilly's 3 month angel-versary. During the deep grief it can feel like every moment of every hour of every day of every month is a continual reminder that our beloved companion is no longer physically with us. There are moments when the sorrow begins to ease only to have a wave of deepest grief overwhelm us as though it were the first moment when they transitioned home to the angels. The ache in our hearts and arms to hold them "just one more time" is overwhelming and we wonder anew how we will manage without their sweet precious physical presence in our lives.
Please know we are here for you, SoSad, for as long and as often as you need us. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and please let us know how you're doing.
