Hi Jim
I know how you are feeling the first 2 months I had 1 day without tears. Then as time went on there were good days and sad days. With the sad days you never know what the trigger is but it suddenly hits you and you feel like you did that very first day.
It’s now been 7 months and it does get better however I still have those days where the tears come, it’s OK. Someone told me Goobie was my heart dog; he left his footprints on my heart, which is why I miss him so much. Boy, were they right…I think Dasha has also left her footprints on your heart.
I think part of it also is the way they left us; before their time it wasn’t fair we wanted more time with our fur pals.
You could now be or still be experiencing the guilt stage of grieving. You must remember each of us, in our own way, did what we thought was right at the time, using what we knew and felt. Each of us tried to do the best we could, and did it with the intention of love.
Dasha & Goobie know how much we loved them and we would have done anything for them. They are now free of pain and playing together on Rainbow Bridge.
In time you need to let the guilt go as Dasha loved you and does not blame you because she knows what is in your heart.
Bailey& Angel will benefit also along with my next fur pal as we will be watching for the signs and pray someday there will be cure for cancer.
