2 of my dogs freshly died surrounded by a span of 3 months. I surface desperate and depress. I still can't permit run... :-(?
Of course you will touch depressed! I suggest doing something with a picture of them, or their collars, or pawprints if you enjoy them. I am making a shadow box for my late Rex. Also some people get tattoos, I hold a pawprint tattoo to show and remember the influence of my animals on my life.
Some people are so good-for-nothing sending you to a site because they dont want to type. Losing a pet let alone 2 & especially in such a minute is understandibly depression & hard to move on from. Losing a pet can be as tramatic as losing a regular human friend or family partaker. We all deal with disappearance or the lose of something or someone close to use in different ways and the only thing within common is time. It's not a quick or easy process & not other the same. You will move on & while you may never let stir you will get better & in time you will get a unmarked dog & love them as much as the last two :).

Ouch..i am appallingly sorry to hear that; my dog that i raised for more than 8 years was killed 6 years a ago and i never get over it no matter what; it's the reason why i don't or plan on having another one. I can`t bear getting used to something and one day find out that they will no longer be a part of me...Im terribly sorry to hear that.
I'm so sorry. I know how it is to lose a pet, and how devasting it can be. I found though, the hurt and being depressed go away with time.
There's no reason to feel desperate about grieving. Give yourself permission. They were an celebrated part of your life, so don't listen to people who cogitate it's just a dog (or dogs). There is a website out there for support during pet loss, www.rainbowbridge.com.
First, im sorry about your losses...but im a veterinary assistant so i completely understand how that would DEVESTATE you. i also hold 2 dogs, if they had both passed away contained by that short of a time span...i would feel the same way. My dog of 16 years be put down 2 years ago and im still very hurt. i dont know if you'll ever truely be able to "consent to it go." but mourning is a very important subdivision of dealing with the trauma. time is the only answer...i wish you the best.
