I don't want to continue.

The raw grief i am feeling since my little dog Yonnie passed over just 2 weeks ago is overwhelming, for i have never felt such sadness in my life, its been far worse than losing a relative , i now see no reason to continue this wretched existence , and i have never felt so lonely.

Yonnie was without doubt my guardian angel, she gave me a reason to keep going no matter what life threw at me.

i do still have my wee dog Diva who i love dearly but she is entirely different and does not give me the same feelings as Yonnie. i miss the gentle look in the mornings and her zest for life was just wonderful but sadly her age caught up with her and left me desolate and lonely, and of course the guilt i feel, could i have done more, when in my heart i knew i couldn't.

i am not up to living in this cruel world.😭

I understand the loss of any pets and like with losing loved ones it's a pain that only ourselves manage with support, is there any local support groups where pet counselling is available, I sincerely believe vets should have a session/s where people can support each other and share each others members of our pet family that's passed away, there's no book on grieving, and pets that have left our lives aren't replaceable , I'm not going to say pull yourself together as I feel it's disrespectful to your fur friends, but remember we have your back here and if needs be, speak to your doctor!

I'm so very sorry for your pain. Guilt is a part of grief. We think ... what if, should I, could I.... but you know in your heart you did the best for your little girl.

It's still very early on, let those feelings out. I'm not even going to write how long it took me to get over the loss of my soul mate. Just know that you are allowed to grieve for however long it takes.

One day she will come to you in your dreams.

If you ever want to speak privately my PM is open.

❀️🐬

Such a sad story losing your son, that is heart breaking. Yes i adored my little Yonnie, she was my reason to keep on going, and i am so glad you now have another cat for they give us so much joy. Whether i will get another dog i don't know for the house seems especially lonely now, 😒

Yes i understand completely, it leaves such a void in our lives. I brought my Yonnie home and buried her in the garden along with our other departed pets, and I've had a slate memorial made with the names of all our pets. My home seems quite bleak now but whether i could ever get another dog i really don't know.😭

don`t give up secrets carry on not just for your other dog but for Yonnie all your family and friends. Greif really does bring out our weaknesses sadly but over time it does make us stronger.

I am so sorry secrets. As a pet owner myself its always heartbreaking to lose a beloved animal. I can relate to feeling the loss more than that of a person too.

Pets give us unconditional love and that is sorely missed. I believe in Rainbow Bridge where they wait for us then join us when its our turn never to be parted again.

All the best.
