I feel so lost without her

[TJS]

It’s been just over one week since having to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to my beloved Boston terrier Daisy. She’s been my best first for the last 17 years and it was love at first sight. I wasn’t looking for a dog at the time, but I knew the second I held her in my arms and she squeezed into my neck so tight that she was meant to be mine. We did almost everything together and she was my entire world. We experienced joy and loss together. She was with me every step of my studies (from starting university to completing my PhD), helped me grow from adolescence to adulthood and was there to help me through the loss of my mother from cancer. Daisy radiated kindness, joy and love. She was never aggressive but had a spunky diva side that always kept us on our toes. Even as she got older and slowed down. She touched the lives of everyone who knew her (be it in person or online). I miss the way her long tongue (that we always joked was too big for her face) would always be hanging out. I miss the way she snored so loudly when sleeping. I miss her soft fur against my face. I miss her kisses. I miss her so badly it physically hurts. The world isn’t bright for me anymore. Everything feels hollow and empty. I’m struggling to go on without her. There’s good days and bad days. But there’s always a dark cloud overhead.

I am so sorry for your loss!  One of the hardest there is is losing our beloved furry family member, always so loyal, interactive, forgiving, adoring.
