It has been 14 days tonight that Esabella left this world. I am filled with so many tears and sadness...............it is like it just happened. I thought I heard her little bark as I was walking Coco on the bay tonight and I turned around to look............nothing was there.
I miss her so much and I'm trying to get by with this grief as I need to take care of Coco, as well. I feel her sadness. I know Coco misses Esabella.
I have tried to keep busy each day.............but the thoughts of Esabella never leave my mind and I cry.............endlessly cry. It is difficult to be around other people because I am so sad and it is Christmas time and that makes me more sad.
My heart goes out to all of you who are feeling as I do this evening.
Thanks for being there.

My thoughts are with you today and your little Esabella. Do you think It is speicially difficult today because it is 2 weeks to the day. These milestones somehow are more poignant and all the grief becomes overwhelming again.
I know your little Coco will be a comfort to you and will try to help you get through such a bad day. It must be hard for you knowing that Coco is missing Esabella as well.
You helped me so much when you wrote to me, please just know that I am thinking of you right now. My words aren't very good, but I care and feel for you so much.

I am with you and share your grief. I am looking for answers to how long my heart will ache, I am 8 months pregnant and probably even more emotional than usual . I know how you fell, my heart feels so empty and I can't stop crying for anything. My eyes are puffy red and burn all day. I miss my girl.

I think when we lose our babies it seems like it was just yesterday and 2 weeks is a very short time. I know when I lost Chili Bean just the 11th of Nov. it was the worst the 1st week and then it seemed like I was going to be ok but then the tears came full force again and it still comes and goes. Christmas time will be hard we always bought Chili Bean toys and treats and she loved watching everyone open their gifts too. I am thankul we all have each other to hold each other up. I am so sorry for your loss.

I know how you feel. After I lost my little buddy, the second and third weeks seemed even worse than the first week. I suppose in the first week we are kind of in a state of shock and disbelief. With the second week, the grief hits us full-force because we to come to the realization that our loss is permanant and we'll never see our pets in this life again. After that, it comes and goes and many times we feel like we're right back where we started.

The grief process must go through its many stages. It takes a while to get there, but things do begin to get better. What you are currently feeling is perfectly normal for someone who has just experienced such a huge loss. Cry the healing tears, but know that there will be brighter days.
