I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your pet. Have you tried talking to your DH about your feelings? I'm not familiar with your situation at all, but it sounds like your current thoughts and feelings go beyond your pet.

Ah i'm well sorry to hear it, the same thing happened to me a month or so ago, he was only 2 Sad

and we haven't a clue what the hell happened either, which doesn't make things easier.

This is kinda lame but he really was one of my main sources of company and was almost like a bro, i was totally lost.

Anyways what really did help is just to talk about it with my family, reminisce about him and just remember all the good things in his life, things will get easier but they'll take time and try not to bottle it up or anything like that.

Pets passing away can be as demoralising as losing your own family members, anybody with an ounce of compassion will understand if you need to seek help for it. Depression causes a sort of tunnel vision, sometimes you just need someone to pull you out of it.

I'm so sorry. I can kind of relate to this on a smaller scale as my guinea pig died in my arms on saturday, it was awful. I'm still not fully over it. What really helps is to just accept that death isn't scary and is a part of life and can strike any of us at any time. Your dog isn't "dead" if you can remember him. It might be a good idea to speak to someone, whether it be a councillor or family member, to help you come to terms with your grief and mull over (in a light hearted way) the precious memories you and your family have of your pet

I'm really sorry to hear that! I know losing a pet hurts a lot. My first dog died when I was 6 and I remember being soo sad for day..and I was only 6! I can't imagine that happening now...I would just die.
