This grief is particularly hard to shake. My dog's father (the mother is still here, and she has been grieving by burying each morning milkbone that they used to go lie outside on the grass and eat together--every day for five years) died when my daughter was 6 weeks old. It was the second saddest day of my life. The first came two weeks later when my grandmother died, unexpectedly.
This little dog was the last we had of Beowulf.
My husband wants to put a puppy under the xmas tree. He's way ready. He's been blaming himself 24/7.
Meanwhile, my dead dog is in the herb and tomato garden with a plate of candles on top of him, burning each night.
But your candle made a difference. I waited 'til 2:00 to take the ativan. Fell asleep on my own like normal. Woke up at two like normal. Overslept on ativan 2 mg. of ativan that took at least an hour to kick in. But I did it.
Thanks for the good wishes.
