Jess Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I am so heartbroken. It was very sudden. One minute she was barking because I was home and the next minute she was unresponsive. She is the first pet my husband and I had together that has died since he died, and it feels like a piece of him that he left behind has left me and joined him. It just plain sucks.

rifatheroffour Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm sorry for this loss...I live in quiet fear for this day for us as well with our cat. Hoping it is still a long way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveToRide Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm sorry! I was there in February, although I knew it was coming...I was just putting it off because I couldn't deal with it so soon after the accident. Hugs!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trying2breathe Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 :'( :'( Sorry for your loss, so hard to lose another piece of what we had with our loved ones. My dog passed away suddenly last summer, DH and I picked her out of a litter of puppies when she was 4 months old, trained her, loved her, she was his best buddy. So hard.

soloact Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Jess, I'm so sorry. Our pets do connect us to our late spouse. Losing them seems like another part of our beloved is gone. My condolences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenHeart2 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Awe Jess, I'm so sorry. I too experienced losing my dog 4 months after DH. Another loss to the connection we had. It's so sad, I hear you about that piece of him he left behind, which makes it even more difficult. Big hugs to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelerswife Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm sorry, Jess. Your little furbabies are family. I hope you get some hugs today. Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatianakm Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 So sorry to hear your sad news, Jess! It is always tough with the animals, as they become true family members. My LH and I had two cats before we had our daughter. When one of our cats passed away at 18 years of age, we were grieving as if we lost a child, I could not force myself to visit vet with the second cat, it became my husband's sole resposibility to take him for his checkups. Now that I am left to take care of everything by myself, I am so preoccupied with everything else, I feel like I am neglecting the second cat. He got so much of the love and attention when my husband was alive. The only comforting thought is that now my husband and my sweet cat that passed are together. I often tell him to pet and kiss her for me and tell her that..." mommy is missing you both"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trying Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Jess I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. Our pets give us that unconditional love that we find no where else and the connection to your DH must make it an even more difficult loss. Big hugs to you.

Kater Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 So sorry for your loss. My husband and I had to put down our "baby" April 2015. I missed having him with me on that anniversary. They are very much part of our family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjs1989 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I am so sorry, Jess. I totally get this. When Boz dies it will be so awful for the kids and me. He is such a connection to D, as he was really his hunting companion and even slept by his side of the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTSLforever Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I am so sorry. Our pets are like our kids (at least for those of us who don't have kids). They are truly a part of our family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManutesGirl Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 So sorry Jess. I had to deal with that about a year ago. It is so hard when yet another connection to DH is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Thank you for all your kind words. I miss her a lot and can't believe she is gone. I am doing okay, just so sad missing her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
