My dog just passed away.

It was so unexpected, I’ve been doing so well and all I want at the moment is chocolate and tissues. I have to keep strong. I am waiting for the sun to come up so that I can go for a walk. But I’ve been up with her all night and she passed around 2am. We had taken her to the vet THREE times and each time they sent her home after we explained how sick she was. I just don’t understand. How do you cope? She was like a child to us!

I’m so very sorry It’s never easy to lose a furry child. Several years ago, I had to put my kitty to sleep. He’d been with me about 12 years. Just take your time to grieve, cry, and start to heal.

I understand your pain all too well and am so sorry you're feeling it now. It truly sucks but it will lessen with time. I wish I could offer more words of comfort than that.

I am so very sorry for your loss, I know you are heart broken. Our four legged fur babies are just like our children is so many ways. I went through a sudden loss like this several years back, its okay to be sad and miss your baby, she was part of you.

Try to get some sleep and give yourself some time to heal and grieve.

If you feel like eating, go have a lie down and a good cry. Try not to turn to food to cope. Run full bore until you have to stop for breath. Work your frustrations and anger out on a heavy bag. Something to channel that grief and those pent up feelings of loss. Let it go, mourn, cry. Allow yourself to feel the sadness. No need to try and heal with food. The healing process will begin with or without food. The food will just add to your despair by sabotaging your fitness journey.

I lost one of my dogs in 2012. He was the last tangible piece of my father I had left. The one last good thing he gave me. When we had to let Kaiser go at only 6-years old, I thought I would die from the crying. Great heaving sobs to the point of nausea. Yeah, it was bad. And I had lost 80 lbs by that point. And for some reason, I felt that losing my baby was enough reason to give up on myself, to eat without caring what I put in my mouth. It wasn’t. It should have been a reason to keep fighting to stay healthy, but I just gave up. So don’t do that. Give yourself time to mourn and reach out to people for support in helping you through it. But don’t reach for food.

I am so very sorry for your loss, this' the most difficult part concerning loving pets' unlike children; there's always the expectation of us living longer than them.

Oh, I'm so sorry! I know all about those feelings. It's very difficult to lose a furry family member.
Over the years our animals have been our kids too. It's heartbreaking to lose them and honestly it never goes away, that sadness. It does get a bit easier as time goes on. Animals love you no matter what, they just want to be loved too. Bonds with fur kids are a very special and unique thing. Again, so sorry about your dog.

Condolences to you and your family. It is never easy to lose a pet. One they are family and two they give such great unconditional love. How to cope you ask. That is a tricky question. Go through the grieving process. Realize that the process is not linear and not time dependent. Everyone is a bit different in how they handle loss. Talk to someone, exercise, sleep and time help with the grieving process.

I am sorry for your loss. I just recently let go of my 18 y/o mini poodle due to cancer. I would say think about the happiness that your pup gave you and hold on to that. The grief will subside, it takes time. You'll never forget and it won't stop hurting but eventually it won't take over your whole day and mess with your head. After I said goodbye I cried for 3 whole days straight, any time I wasn't thinking about what I was doing I would think about her and how I wish I could of had a couple more days with her. I would be crying without realizing that I was crying and it was bad.

It takes time, I don't have an answer for you unfortunately.
