Sassy

[pomtzu]

I know people understand but you still kind of feel isolated from the rest of the world, Sassy was probably the best thing that ever happened to me and now she's gone. I miss her so much.

Of course you feel isolated, and of course you miss her - that's only natural. Everyone has to deal with loss in their own way - there is no instruction manual on this subject! In my 40+ years of adulthood (yes - I'm OLD enough to be your grandmother) I have lost numerous very precious dogs and cats - some lived a very long life and others not long enough. Every time was different but none the less heartbreaking and I found that I dealt with each loss differently. To this day, I still occassionally get misty-eyed when I think of them and the time we had together. Unfortunately - that time is never long enough! You will feel better even tho you don't think so right now. Just take your time and don't try to rush thru this process. And just remember that Sassy will ALWAYS be with you - she has her pawprint on your heart!

Well, I'm crying right now...hard to type. I know you wrote that a couple of months ago...but it is new for me. You expressed my feelings exactly when I lost my Missy. SO hard to let her go, but it was time. Now, I hope you are feeling somewhat better. I had to show you my new precious...named.......Sassy! I'm brand new on Pet Talk and had never read this before so this is purely coincidence: My Sassy is a baby bichon! Makes you wonder about reincarnation! Here she is:

Sassy is very cute, and I hope she has brought you happiness after your loss.

I feel better, and have been moving on. I will never completely move on but I'm healing..

My beautiful Jake died about the same time as your Sassy. It has been very difficult. I finally decided that since it didn't seem that I had made much progress in "grieving" (ie, I still sobbed when I look at his pictures and video, think about him every day, etc), I might as well just get another puppy and enjoy the happiness of that.

I don't think you ever "get over" the ones who have your heart, its a bit easier to get through the day, but you still think of them, love them, miss them with all your heart and soul. All you can do is find the ones you can love, and do the best for them that you can.
