Because of the special relationship we have with our dogs, grief of a beloved dog can often be more intense than the death of a family member, and coming to terms with the change will take as long as it takes. Your grief will probably not be gone in a few weeks or even months. It is, after all, ‘just a dog.’ You may even tell yourself that and try to avoid working through your grief by keeping busy or attempt to ‘get rid of it’ as soon as possible. This grief is completely normal, and may be misunderstood by the people around you. You may be surprised to have so much grief from the loss of your dog, or to be experiencing grief before your dog is even gone. Is my grief normal? How long will this last? It is my hope that while an article can’t get rid of the sadness or fill the empty hole in your heart, it may encourage you to find a way to grow from this experience and see it as yet another gift from your dog. This article will help you understand some of the common feelings, behaviors, and thoughts that may come with the loss of your dog. Some of the things that you might do or think while grieving may make you think you are losing your mind. Every experience of grief is unique, so you can’t really be prepared for the loss of your dog. If you were lucky enough to share your life with a dog, especially a ‘ soulmate dog’ who has passed or is nearing the end of life, then you also have the flip-side of such a strong relationship: grief. To love a dog is to truly know the meaning of unconditional love. With no complaints, when the problems came I just rolled with it.Video by shared with permission Motions for "talk that stuff, na roll with" cause guess what EVERYTHING had worked out. ![]() Winn Dixie not only had the pin but now since I'd gone rouge and missed the bus, carpool drop off was our only option. He was already upset because he couldnt bring cupcakes for his class because me, dad nor grandma could get off from work in time. Winn Dixie came through because they had a pin just for my birthday boy. Along my route I decide that I'm gonna just go to Winn Dixie. “What you gone do Ya, what you gone do? “ Quickly I just start driving and pass up the bus stop. Now it's 7:05 am and the bus comes at 7:10 and I gotta be at work for 7:30. "no birthday pinnnnnnsss," I say in my Soulja Boy voice. So, I stopped at our local grocery store and of course NO BIRTHDAY PINS. ![]() I tore the house apart looking for this pin, that I found the next day and I'll just say it was right in my face the entire time, but that's a story for another day. A look of perplexity reflected across my face. The first thing the child asked when he woke up was “Mom you do have my birthday pin right?” The boy hadn't even brushed his teeth yet. The birthday pin that we've been having for forever was nowhere to be found. Anyway, so the day started off not so good. He even has this big boy aura about himself now. So my son made the big SEVEN on Wednesday. Writing it out it does ’t sound like much, but let me tell you living it, it was overwhelming. So yeah, there was Easter Sunday, the kids were still out on Spring break from school (sighs), my son's birthday was Wednesday and of course working everday life. The day turned out to be beautiful and Im thankful for it, but back to this week Lord. I mean Sunday's around the Prosper house are usually quite frantic and we are most likely running late for church anyway, but last Sunday was a true fight. No to mention either of them cooperated with me. ![]() I had to make sure my daughter had her stockings, that she had bows to match her dress, that my son had his belt, and trouser socks, and sooo on. We celebrated Jesus's ressurection last Sunday, which equaled extra work on Sunday for me. Life has been moving so fast I haven't stopped to fully catch my breath.
