I’m not saying losing a dog comes close to the pain of losing a real person, but dang is it close. After ten whole beautiful years with him, I finally understand what all those characters in books feel. The weird grief and shock and numbness that seems to linger even after months. It’s such a surreal and terrible yet beautiful feeling. I can never describe it, but now I understand it. What a cost.

This probably sounds so bad but I have been more sad and have cried more tears for my dogs dying compared to people in my family..

@Bre it isn’t bad, it’s just how you grieve. Were you close to those people who died?

@jessie one of them, yeah, but ig it’s just how I process things I just don’t get sad idkkkkk but anyway I’m really sorry about your dog🫂
@Bre I’m really sorry for your loss with humans and fur babies 🫂 Yeah, that’s how my older sister is. I realized that I process grief by talking constantly. I seriously can’t shut up XD I’m sobbing while talking, it’s crazy. But we all process grief so differently, who can ever say there’s a “right way”?
And thank you so much for understanding :)
animals are more trustworthy, loyal, and better listeners then humans. i’ve always connected with them more. i know what it’s like to lose a best friend like that. i’m terribly sorry.
i’m so sorry
the difference b/w losing an animal and losing a human is that an animal has never done anything wrong to you, never never mean, never insulted you, they just can’t do things because of hate. i’m so sorry for your loss 🫶🏻 hope they find doggie heaven (yes i still think that exists)
that was me with my chickens. in august of 2023 i got four cute chicks. me and my sibilings raised them and saw them grow. they were the sweetest. one morning, in beginning of june of 2024, i heard someone crying. i rushed downstairs and found my sister crying. i asked what happened and my parents told me our chickens were found dead in the backyard. i couldn't believe it and i was so shocked. there were feathers all over the grass. a little bit later, me and my brother went outside in the backyard bc my dad said one of the b0dies of the chickens weren't found and one chicken was missing. so we were looking for that chicken that was missing outside, and then i glanced down and saw the d3ad body of one of the chickens. it was twisted and limp and i screamed and ran outside and started sobbing. i was so sad and traumatized. thank God im better these days cuz we also got new chickens last fall, but i still miss the old ones. i remember my friend texting me how she was annoyed that pip keeps on talking abt her d3ad dog in the agggtm series. i was like you really dont understand how it is to lose a pet/pets. 33
@noor. Oh man, I’m so sorry that happened to you. It was a stroke or heart attack that took Rocco’s life. It was a pretty traumatic experience…but thank you for sharing. It truly is such an unbelievable experience that I don’t think people truly can ever understand unless they’ve lost a pet/pets.
aww☹ I'm so sorry for your loss. he sounds like he was such a great companion. I don't even want to think about loosing my boy, I'm so sorry for you!
*joins Rachel in hugging you* I wish there was something I could tell you that would make the pain go away! But, I know that's not possible.
*huggles* just these words. Knowing people wish to comfort me. That’s enough. All I could possibly ask of someone.
