Sassy

[Alysser]

It's been over six weeks since she left.

Should I feel guilty for not crying anymore?

[RockyRoad]

No, you shouldn`t feel guilty. As time goes on, Sassy wouldn`t have wanted you to cry whenever you thought about her. The happy memories you had with her will take the place of the sadness you feel, and soon not only will you not be crying, but you`ll be smiling. Thinking of all the times that Sassy would make you smile, and laugh. Sassy still can make you smile, Alyssa, except now you have to smile so much wider, so that she can see it from heaven.

It is ok that you aren't crying. You may have come to terms that Sassy is at the Rainbow Bridge. Believe me, there will be times, you will shed a tear or break out bawling about her and that's ok too. She's in a wonderful place and happy and healthy again. She wants you to go on, you'll see her down the road one day. Do you talk to her Alyssa? I always talk to Mandy, still over two years later. I will always believe she hears me. And do you talk about her? I'm sure you do.
The other day, making up Lacey's birthday thread and seeing Mandy's picture in my siggy, I broke down. Mandy and Lacey were buddies.
Hang in there hon. {hugs}

Aw Alyssa, I don't think you should feel guilty at all. Tears are not the only form of grief, they are just the most immediate. Sassy wouldn't want you to cry over her forever. You will always miss her, but you are moving on from the sadness and you've accepted that she's not gonna be around any more. It's not a bad thing at all. You're being strong and I'm really proud of you for it.

((hugs))

I found Mr. Bear..he still smells like you. Thanks for making me cry all over again. I miss you so much.

[Alysser]

Wow, it's been over 2 months since you left me.

The words "it was for the best.." and whatever else people say to comfort you are getting old. Maybe that's true, but why does it still feel like I could have done more to save you? I am just sick of feeling sorry for myself when I know I should feel sorry for you. Today was a horrible day for me, I could hardly focus on anything at work, maybe that's why I was in such a horrible mood. People keep saying you're in heaven, that's great and all but YOU'RE NOT here with ME. You shouldn't have died so young, it wasn't fair. Baby, I'm so sorry. I STILL miss you! The worst part is no one really understands this feeling. I don't like talking about it with anyone. It just doesn't feel right.

I know, I sound so selfish, but I can't help it. Living without a dog is like living in hell, honestly. I can't wait till I move out so I can get one.

love you sas,

mommy

I think this guy knows how I feel-

Sometimes people don't know what to say and what they do end up saying isn't what you want to hear. You want Sassy back, I know. Please remember Alyssa, Sassy is with you, she is a part of you and always will be. If you need someone to talk to pm me anytime, ok? {{{hugs}}}

The worst part is no one really understands

You may think this, but anyone who has ever lost a beloved pet, feels the same way. She'll always be with you and as time goes by the pain does get easier to bear. There will always be times when you are reduced to tears when you think of Sassy, but you'll find that the times you smile and laugh when you think of her will outnumber the times of sadness. You have so many wonderful pictures and memories of the happy times you spent together, and no one can ever take that away from you. Someday when the time is right and you least expect it, another little furball will wiggle it's way in to your life and your heart. And altho it will never be a replacement of the one you have lost, you'll find that you will again have a very special little friend to share your life - and Sassy will smile down upon you and be so happy for both of you. Please believe me - I've been there!

I know people understand but you still kind of feel isolated from the rest of the world, like no one can understand what pain you're going through. Honestly, before this I never understood the feeling of death when my friends talked about it. I always felt bad and stuff but whenever someone died in my family I was either too young to really understand or I didn't know them that well. Sunny was my first death and it was hard but not nearly as hard as Sas was. Sassy was probably the best thing that ever happened to me and now she's gone. I miss her so much.
