I sobbed for you & Rourke yesterday & today, and realised I was sobbing for Scooby & Belle too. I will probably sob tomorrow too. Please don't feel alone at this awful time x
I agree. I was so sad to hear about Rourke for Sonia and had a good old cry. Then had another realizing that it brought back all the memories of the days after Duncan and Brogan died.
Sonia, I know we all grieve differently, but you’re never alone in wanting to scream, yell, cry, and however else the grief comes out.
@Kelsey, what you did sounds really familiar (and normal) too. I still cry over Brogan pretty regularly if something sets me off, and it’s been 9 years. I don’t think we ever really stop grieving, it just becomes something more livable and easier to pull up the good times to balance out the sadness.
And (i sound like a broken record) but talking to Brogan, Duncan, and Jodhi continues to help me so much. Especially when I first had Carbón, I had some serious conversations over why Brogan sent me such a (at times
) naughty Señor and it was his way of saying, “See, bet you appreciate more now how well I did my training and didn’t try to climb on top of your head during my first plane rides!” He was having a good old doggie laugh at me for sure.
And before Carbón came , a lot of my solo walks weren’t really solo, as Brogan still came along. I used to point out to him how much easier he was to get into a crowded area now that he didn’t have that pesky body. It was weird and sad and funny, all at the same time.
Ok, now I probably sound completely unhinged
, but I swear it helped, and continues to help because I STILL talk to them. We have to do whatever gets us through, right?
@Jelinga Are you doing alright with being able to eat and sleep enough? I hope you’re taking care of that side, which can be hard too.
