I’m not okay. My 14 year old doggy just died in my arms on Friday. She was my little best friend, had her since she was 3 months old when we adopted her from a shelter. My old girl was tough as nails, got diabetes the beginning of 2021, gradually went blind. I took care of her and now I don’t know what to do with myself. I’m a little darker than usual on the inside now. I miss her.
Hey friend, I know this doesn’t exactly help, but it will get better eventually. I lost my void of 19 years a few of years ago, and that was harder than losing blood family.
If you can stomach it, (and if not, wait for the initial hurt to pass then) try to have pictures of your girl or stuff you associate with her around you. It took me close to two years to come to terms with losing my old girl, but I can finally do this without immediately bursting into tears, and I’m so much happier now that I can. It’s only the paw imprint, but it means a lot more to me.

Take care, and I hope you’re doing well
