More Grief…Why Do My Kids Have To Deal With More???

File under: Weight Loss

Sydney…our 9 y/o Lab/Rot mix is dying…not just dying but suffering seizures. Today will probably be the last…my kids are hurting greatly seeing him go through this and knowing they are about to lose him. He has been with J for quite a while now…its hard not being there to help…not being there with my kids…so hard to know what to do. Will probably end up going up there today even tho I don’t want to be near J…I want/need to be there with my kids…over the phone just doesn’t cut it. Syd made it thru that incident last year when he disappeared over night and came back greatly injured…now this. Oh I hurt for my kids and Syd…I just want them to have some happiness in their lives.

Found a poem my 12 y/o wrote…he is hurting…it broke me down yesterday…I didnt get my letter to J written…cant go there at the moment…

Losing a loved one is really hard. All you can do is be there & listen.

That’s rough pets mean so much to children. It is good that your son is able to put his feeling into writing and not letting it build up inside. Debbi it’s so time for you to start healing you and moving on to better things, you deserve it. HUGS

awww damn debbi,
soooo very sorry for all of you.
I know what its like to lose a beloved pet–we had a rottie named Max that we lost. Its hurts, and there will be tears. Even today, years later, I can tear up over him. Yet, one day, you and the kids will be able to enjoy the memories of your special friend.
hugs…
