Bury them well, or cremate and respect the ashes. Losing a pet sucks. I always feel so damn destroyed, but also somehow like I’m not sad enough. It’ll get better. You gave that dog a life full of light and love. You made the world a better place with it. All you can do is take it a few steps at a time and I promise it’ll get better.

If we and the things around us weren’t temporary beings life would be so much less meaningful. The hole left in your heart after the loss of a pet leaves is a hole that will never fully closes. But you were there. They loved you and you loved them. Life continues on.

Be grateful you were blessed to have a loving companion in your life. They will never truly be gone, because they will be in your memories forever. You're able to reflect and cherish the moments you had. I'm sorry, I know it's hard. I lost a close friend recently and it's just a struggle to wrap your head around. Your dog led a long happy life.

I’m so sorry. I lost my baby girl (dog) over two yrs ago after almost 17 yrs and I still cry for her. It’s never enough time, especially when you really love them. It does get easier but it will always hurt. Just remember that the pain you feel now is really a measure of your love for her. The fact that you’re hurting means you gave her love and that’s what’s important. Lots of pets aren’t so lucky so take comfort in that.

Thank you. I know it was best for her to go (she was suffering a lot), but I wanted more time before she went. Just a bit more
