Put down my 14 year old Maltese/Shitzu yesterday

[dim]

Hi guys, 

The past few days have been super rough as I had to put down my 14 year old little angel yesterday morning after a brief illness. I can't get the picture of her lifeless little body out of my head. I know she's no longer suffering but i'm going to miss her so much.

Please tell me this gets easier. 

 

Thanks in advance

It  takes much time...it was the worst thing in the world when my Arlie went through it (he was 11 1/2...cancer) it's been 3 1/2 years since and I carry him in my heart, remember him continually, even after getting Kodie, I often tell him about his big brother (Arlie got up to 140, Kodie is 21 at 3 years).

II am so sorry for your loss and all that entails, I know it's hard, and I send prayers and comforting thoughts...

I am so sorry for your loss. It does not seem like it will get easier but I promise you it will. It just takes some time. Let yourself grieve and try to be patient.

It comes in waves. 

You will start to do better (this doesn't mean you are letting go, it just means you have found some peace with her absence) and slowly you will forget the last, worst moments of loss and remember all the very happy years.

Thank you both for your replies. It is sad yet comforting to know others have been/are going through similar experiences.

Much love

I know, we wouldn't wish this on anyone, but being as there are others, it's helpful to know someone else "gets it" and understands.  Esp. since often loved ones don't.
