I do not wish to share this post.

Hi Abby's Mom,
3 weeks is not a very long time, your post resembles some of mine, I have lost all my furbaby family and my mom and dad all in the last 10 yrs. I posted guilt in feeling better...because in some weird sence I felt like if I went a day without crying I wasnt honoring Moose. I think in retrospect that my deep intense mourning and lonliness i felt is because all my loses were brought to the surface, Moose was of the most intelligent level and my closest friend as I have lived alone most of the time since my parents passed. Steph posted once about her stages of grief and it was pretty right on, I just passed the 2 month and I can tell you Abby's mom it will get better, you could'nt have told me that in week 3 because I would'nt have wanted it to get better at that point. Just hang in there, it's just the part where you have to adjust to them not being there and that is a hard part of it but we are kinda forced into it as much as we fight it. If you get a chance read Steph's post, it gives a good prespective. xxoo Pamela

Its not good or bad we all react as differently as we look from each other, we were all raised differently and end up coping with life differently.

As long as you’re not burying your grief and when it needs to be released it is – then that, in my humble opinion, is ok.

Love Sue

When Chili Bean died at 3 weeks I was doing pretty well and then when 4 weeks came I was hit pretty hard again. The tears came almost as hard as it did when she first died. The pain stays with us but I think we gain strength on some days and we are able to carry on with life. Other times you may just break down and release thos tears. I know it is a big comfort to me to know Chili Bean is not struggling for every breath she takes and she is running and playing like she hasn't been able to do in a long time.
