Hello,
I need advice. Yesterday at 9:00am my poor little friend Pippin, a Yorkshire Terrier died. He was suffering from a stroke or a brain tumour; the vet wasn’t sure. He had been a massive support to me over 13 years in the worse of times. My only friend during the night when I was alone.
i can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I feel sick, it has given me a bad stomach. I’ve cried so much and so often that I’ve become dehydrated. He died at home, he didn’t go silently, but he was completely gone, mentally at this point but I was there for the whole thing. It was the worse experience of my life. Thank god my brother was there with me. He was due to go to the vets to be put to sleep but he couldn’t hold out.
he has a brother, Pickles, but he spends all he’s time following my grandmother around. Pippin stayed with me, always.
i can’t focus on anything, I never knew how much he meant to me. He was a rock, a constant in my life, he was always there waiting for me, tail wagging. I know it sounds insane but I would confide in him. I wake up shaking in a panic wandering where he is.
I’ll be getting another friend soon enough but things will never be the same.
Does anyone have any tips on how to accept it and move on? Or is it just time?
I miss him so much.
Oh bless, I’m very sorry to hear this tragic news such a beautiful dog, must be such a loss.
I’d feel so horrible if I was in your shoes, but try to drink plenty of water and don’t starve yourself (too much). Take yourself on a walk to a new path, it could help you cool off and keep your mental state healthy, as well as helping you sleep. Even ask your man or brother for some company you shouldn’t keep yourself in isolation during difficult times like this
Thank you, my two brothers are spending some time with me over the weekend. My younger brother is studying to be a therapist he’s done a lot on autism too so he’s been a massive help too me.
its the worse point in my life. But I know one day I’ll give a great home and be able to add another friend to my list for a another dog.
i just can’t stand the idea of people forgetting him, I know they never will but he was so important too me.
