bjnno1 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Diane, It's none of my business, but please share this with your kids. Kids really are smarter than people give them credit and they WANT to grieve with you. I remember when I was 12 and my brother broke his neck in an accident and they didn't know if he was going to make it. I was out of town with my grandparents at the time and KNEW something was wrong. Just a feeling, I was sick to my stomach with worry and remember being angry because my parents DIDN'T tell me until they knew he was going to live. I knew all along something was wrong and WANTED to know not because I was nosy, but because I WANTED to share those moments with my family. (GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES) It's OK to cry and actually it's HEALTHY to cry. It's perfectly NORMAL, you LOVED him with all your heart (and still do) you really need to share that with your family. It's so weird because when I was even younger than that, my dog was killed by a car (she was 8 years old) I remember my mom and my older sister sitting on the front porch crying and I just hugged them. Even though I was also distraught inside, I was the stronger one (at that moment) and It made me feel so good to be able to share with them.. I don't know I can't explain it and hope I make sense by my words I'm typing. I'm just hurting so bad for you right now, I'm just heartbroken and want to do what ever I can to make you feel better.

MauCarden Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 My heart aches for you. Usually (no matter how hard it it) we are given the blessing of being somewhat prepared in losing a beloved hound. The suddeness just makes it that much more devestating.

Guest auntiesara Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Oh Diane I'm so sorry. We lost Angel Sweetie the exact same way. She was in ICU at Tufts,a very well respectd teaching hospital .We admitted her one evening and visited her the next day at visiting hours. She was weak but still knew us. After driving an hour towards home the vet called to tell us to come back because there was no hope-she was bleeding uncontrollably from both ends. The diagnosis was Kidney Failure. We never imagined we could lose her so suddenly. All I can tell you is that Sweetie and Angel Matt are helping her get acquainted at the Bridge while they wait to be reunited with us. PM me if it would help to talk-I know all I want is to have Matt back and I know you want your Fudgie back too.... Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
