When will the pain go away?
My dog died today. I feel like my heart has been ripped out and stomped. I knew i had to let her go. She has been buy my aide so long and i have found i still reach down beside my chair to pet her, but she isnt there. Ive cried till my throat is raw, my eyes are sore, and my head hurts. I miss her so much. I have another dog, but he and I dont share the same bond I had with her. I want her back. I cling to my other dog and my tears soak his fur. He seems to understnd and misses her too. I have experienced loss before, but this feels ao much worse than I remember. How long will it hurt? It is a physical pain.
You know, it's really a shame that we can no longer comment on an answer given to a question here. It leaves it so that rude and insensitive bullies can say what they like without worrying about being called out on it.
I have not had the chance to talk to my therapist. And i can't rehome him. He is greiving as much as I am. He needs me, and I need him. He wont leave my side for even a few seconds. I love him.
My family and friends have given their condolances and then left me and my good boy alone. One friend called to check on me, asked if i was ok. I was brutally honest for once and said "no, im not ok" she said "dang, its been hours and your still crying?"

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'd like to tell you when it'll get easier but we're two different people. Give yourself time and grieve. Don't try and rush through it as much as you (and I'm sure some others) would think it is the best option. You're hurting now and you will do for as long as you need, but in time your sadness and pain will lessen and in its place will be all the happy memories and experiences you've had with her. Know the she knew that you loved her so dearly and gave her the best possible life.

Some doctors consider pain to be chronic after three to six months, but others disagree. The normal length of time that it takes for pain to resolve depends on factors such as the type of injury or original source of the pain and what type of underlying process is responsible for it. Healing time is also variable.

Insecure people are always going to be unkind. It's just that simple. People think they build themselves up when they tear other people down. Again, just that simple. You may never get over the loss. People plant a tree in the dog's memory. Other people donate to a charity in the dog's name. Some people put photo albums together. My dogs are all cremated and buried in the same pet cemetery. People, I'm sure, think I'm crazy, but it makes ME feel better. You owe it to your other dog to turn your attention to him. He lost his "partner." If you can't do that, then you need to rehome that second dog. You have posted that you are disabled. Have you discussed this with your therapist?

On the plus side you have to pick up less sh*t.
Your house as well can smell half clean.
