is it normal for me to still cry about my dog who was put to sleep last year?

Its normal....In time it will hurt less, but it will never go away 100%

yes, that's normal. I get teary eyes over my horse I lost 16 years ago.

Firstly, I'm very sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how bad you must feel.

Secondly, yes, it's totally normal to be upset about having lost your pet, and fine to cry about having lost a dog. It's pretty certain that you loved the dog, the dog loved you, and you enjoyed the company which the dog gave you.

Grieving is totally normal, and there's no time limit set for it. It's possible that an owner can still be struggling for several months afterwards.

Try doing something to express how you feel, like by drawing, painting or writing a poem. Making a donation to an animal charity may help, as can talking about it with friends or loved ones.

If you cannot move past your feelings of grief, then don't hesitate to see a counselor or therapist for assistance.

Hope this helps.

Perfectly normal. Grief is not a straight line. It comes and goes.

It's perfectly normal. When my dog passes, I probably won't ever speak again.

Sorry for your loss, everyone grieves differently and requires a different amount of time, if you find you can't function in your day to day life, then seek professional help for yourself, such as therapy.

Don't you think a lot of us have a dog they really loved die? I did when I was a kid, I realized she's in a better place and I moved on with my life. Grow up. You may get your attention you're looking for here but in the real world nobody gives a crap. Get over it and grow some balls.

Perfectly normal. I don't mean everybody does it; everybody is different.

I don't cry, but it was 2 or 3 months after mu dog died [put to sleep too] before I quit hating everybody I knew. Not that they did anything wrong. That was just the way I reacted to my dog's death.

no of course not. she obviously meant a lot to you and dogs are very much a part of the family. Grieving is a perfectly normal process, there isn't a time limit on how long you can be upset for. xx

Its ok to cry, it takes time to heal. What you can do is engage yourself in some kind of activity. This way you can take your mind off things, also it helps to sleep at night and not think about stuff too much!
