Sad and not in the mood for the holidays

coasterqueen replied: Aww, ((HUGS)). I'm so sorry for your loss. I felt that way after I had to put Jakey to sleep a few Decembers ago. Christmas was just weird without him, but it does get better in time.

mom21kid2dogs replied: So sorry Sarah! There seems to be a rash of losing beloved pets all of a sudden. We put our 22 month old dog to sleep on Nov 13 because of a seizure disorder and I'm having trouble managing on some days, too. We still have our ailing 14 yr old dog so I'm hoping he lasts til Christmas. It is getting better a little every day. I've gone from crying all day to crying a couple times a day. Olivia and I are compiling a memory book for him and writing down our favorite stories, memories, etc and that has helped, too. Sometimes it is hard for those who don't share their lives with pets to understand that losing one is a deep loss and takes plenty of time to get over. Here's hoping your heart feels a little better every day!!
