Our dog died *triggerwarning*

*Triggerwarning for graphic content*

this is hard. I feel so out of it. keep hearing the littles inside what happened, wanting to search for him. Thinking someone is for a walk. Im just feeling numb. protecting It feels surreal and unreal cant let it pass flash of an little girl is he in heaven now ?



He was old. symptoms of leaking heart. his lungs. coughing. didnt see much and got meds for it. He felt from the stairs because of his symptoms.

I feel so out of it. its so unreal as if it hasnt happened and we will wake up from this dream.

ugh. just needed this out.

I'm so sorry for your loss...

I'm not sure what you can do to help the littles understand what has happened. Perhaps you can look up on the internet what people might normally tell their children if a pet or loved one passes away to explain it? Perhaps you might also be able to take some ideas also on what to do to help honour Pall so that your little ones and others can experience the grieving process in a healthy way... (e.g. put up photos and candles or something else...)

I am sorry that you are feeling unreal at the moment. It is a hard thing to have happen. I'm sure it may take a while to grieve the loss more fully. Be gentle with yourself during this time and take good care...

We're so sorry, MultipleMinds.

I'm sorry. That is really hard.

I'm giving my 16 year old cat hospice care right now. He is in the end stages of cancer.

For my outer children who are little and for us, I am planning on doing a little memorial where we share our favorite memories of him, and say goodbye. Maybe you could do something to mark the end, if you haven't already? Just an idea.

Hey little one, and everyone else inside, he's not suffering now. Death is just another part of life, and he had an awesome life with you guys, and loved you, and you loved him back. (and I bet he recognized many of you.)

Maybe you might want to give a homeless doggy a home. That could be a way to grieve, and return love for your old doggy. It's ok to feel sad, you are grieving.

Thank you all for the replies.

Its hard, as soon as something surfaces we switch and detach it seems. Im not really present and just numb, confused to an extent.

An little memorial with an picture and candles seem to be preferd by littles inside as they seem to want to organize such a thing and want to come out 1 by 1 to do such a thing, like a wake from people inside.

Its so difficult to allow ourselves to cry. Crying is terrifying for us, vulnerability. We cant even if we want. Someone(s) wont allow it, and it triggers an switch directly, detaching and sudden feel "fine", like not getting it at all what its all about ( wanted to type, "what all the fuzz is about" guess others are equally confused and deal in such a way )

That i/we are feeling unreal as if he can come back while not make our littles question stuff. Am trying to explain it to them, they deserve to know it, on their own time.

Im just numb, dazed, switchy and all and just cant accept it just yet. Guess it takes time. It really confuses me to re-realize that our dog isnt amongst us anymore multiple times.

We're sorry, Nondescript. Thinking of you. Good for you for finding a way to honor him.
