Feeling quite low

[Cookie72]

Hi whoever is up and on here, I can't sleep, am having a very down day and sad moment thinking of Sophie, I miss her sooo much, gentle hugs to all.. Dee xx

I'm sorry to hear that Dee, I'm going to bed soon but I'm sending you caring thoughts.

can you think of some daft funny or loving thing Sophie did? try to remember it with a smile. I lost my little character of a budgie Bobby in march he was 9 and a half. His partner, Jenny, is from the same breeder but six months younger. she's the image of him, but more aloof.

sometimes I forget and think it's Bobby who's flown to my hand, or who I can see out of the corner of my eye. I have some lovely memories that help me through.

I do still miss him though and have a little weep.

Remember though that we do need to grieve for our loss and allow yourself to do it, don't let others tell you how to, or long to, grieve.

night hun,

sandra.

Hi there Dee. It really is an awful feeling to lose a pet, they are a family member and

are loved dearly. We lost our beloved Jack dog last year after 15 fantastic years and I miss him still. He is buried in our garden and I say hello every day. We had the most fantastic display of double headed pink poppies where he is laid to rest - quite amazing as we hadn't planted any! We now have Skye, a rescue dog again, not to replace jack, that could never happen, but to share love and cuddles with. Take things easy and be kind to yourself too. Love and a Scottish hug coming your way xxx

Hi Dee I know where you are coming from my dearest cat had to go in the spring in went rather bonker with alziemers (cannot spell it) I still see him out the corner of my eye following me around and at night I feel him jump up on the bed - strange isnt it. I think they just stay with us our love for them is so strong. Sending you a gentle hug

that is so true, I often feel something curl up at the end of the bed like D is still protecting me and its been nearly 10 years since he went xx

Hi Dee I'm so sorry you are feeling this way, I too have lost a pet my rescue dog some years. He was so special he had an awful life before we rescued him and devoted our lives to him, everything was for Bracken, my partner has a tattoo on his arm taken from a photo. We have another dog which we got when braken was alive, sometimes I feel guilty for not thinking about him all the time. I took me years to be able to look at his photos with fond memories and not hurt. I came across a video of him. I actually enjoyed watching it and found myself smiling. Think of a happy time. I hope you are feeling better, you are always so supportive to people. I wish I had come online as I was up and down all last night. Sending healing hugs.xx

Oh dear (((Dee))) I am so sorry you are feeling like this but understand all too well as you know. It comes across one like waves doesn't it, one minute you're coping and then bang..... It hits us. As you say, it is early days, but that doesn't take away the pain, it means you are still very raw with the grief of losing her. Remember though what you did .....for her....for her best interests......and be proud of yourself that, despite the pain you knew you would feel, you still did what was right for her. I think you are so so brave and I'm so proud of you and am sending huge amounts love and healing thoughts your way, they can't replace Sophie, but I hope they may ease your grief even if for a short while.

((((DEE)))). Much love Foggy x
