Hey there. I love this post. Trust me, this si COMPLETELY normal. Absolutley. Pet loss has been the subject of so, so much study. When a pet lives, it becomes a famil member. You attatch to it like you would a best friend. You feed and water and bathe them, you grow them, nuture them, the only difference is pets never leave till they die. When they die, essentially, it hurts more than a person. You can talk to a person, you can say goodbye in your own tounge. Pet's don't speak. You never converse. Pets are very loyal, obedient, lovely family members. That's why families get their children pets. To learn how to raise something, to lose something. I lost my black lab in february of 2012. Damn bone cancer to hell! Friend, I'm crying while typing this. I was with my mom when we got her (My dog Sequoia after the type of tree) back in 2003. God i loved her. I'm crying, cause i miss her so much. I cut myself, because she wasn't just an animal, she was my best friend. Trust me my friend, emotions are normal, no matter what the situation or how long ago, there is no set ammount of time for the griefing process to occur. Some people never get through it and never own another animal. I hope your sweet furry baby is frolicking in the meadows of heaven, waiting for you. All our loved one and pets are. If you need someone to talk to about your lost friend, please, don't hesitate to message me. PEACE EVERYONE! HAPPY SPRING BREAK!
I too am crying as i type this! I'm gonna have to put my Bullmastiff Brutus to sleep in a few days from cancer as well mast cell tumors. He is my everything!!! He is only 5 1/2 years old and does not deserve this. He is a once in a lifetime dog. He has a way of making everyone feel so incredibly loved and needed. I know i will never get over this! Everytime i here the song by Keith Urban "With Out You" I brake down instantly and can't stop crying. I will love you forever Brut!!!
I'm so sorry. But you know you are doing the best thing for him, so he doesn't have to suffer. I know it's the hardest thing to do, but I hope you can be with him when it happens. All of my animals through my life that've had to be put down for whatever reason except 1, I was with. That 1 I wasn't with is the cat that I asked this question about. She had cancer, and the tumors on her skin had burst and she was bleeding and in pain. I was dealing with a serious illness at the time and had to have my mom take her. I think that's part of the extra pain I feel, I feel guilty for not being with her.
But I think they're more comfortable when their people are with them...It is like losing a family member. Scratch that, it is losing a family member. But don't ever let that pain keep you from loving another animal. Brutus would want you to love another dog the way you've loved him.
Is it normal to cry a long time after losing a pet?
