It's been a month-the only ones to acknowledge it were my mom and dad, my siblings,some people from the rescue group, people on Greytalk, the vet that helped you pass to the next life, and the neighbors-the friends I've had for the past 20 years didn't even bother to call, even though they knew you were my equivalent of a child. I haven't bothered to talk to them since. We were both there for every marriage, birth of a child, houses our friends had bought, camping trip,etc....but when you died, not a peep from any of them. I will concentrate on teaching Oberon how to live a good life like you did, and to help those less fortunate and to donate our time and money when we can. I'm done spending time helping people that could not bother to check on you and me because it was too much of a hassle, even though we did it for them for years on end, because that is what friends are supposed to do.

We understand all to much what you are saying. We have been down that road before. May you find peace and know that Guinness is looking down smiling that you have honoured his memory by adopting Oberon. Stay strong and continue to honour Guinness by taking the high road if you can. What truly matters is what is between you and Guinness, nobody can change that.

Your feelings are hurt. You want your friends to acknowledge the loss. Perhaps they just don't have the right words. I am trying to be the devil's advocate here. Sometimes people think the best thing to do is say nothing, rather than upset you.

 

Your friends, here, all know what you are experiencing. We will always be here for you, anytime.

Eight weeks to the day and minute we both got the news you had no choice but to go to the bridge,puppy...it feels like it was just a few minutes ago I saw you last, and at the same time it feels like years...I started on your painting, but with school, it might take a while...you really were/are my heartdog.

It's been twelve weeks as of yesterday Guinness..I took Oberon to the GEM event in Ann Arbor, and ran across a wooden box with a handmade tile on top and knew it was supposed to be yours...room for your ashes, collar, and favorite stuffed turtle toy...I hope you like it, my heart dog.

"Score, Dad!" I'll bet that's what Guinness is thinking. It's perfect.

I spread some more of your ashes at our friend Kelly's house in Indiana last weekend Guinness-her and her kids watched you for me and Alaina last summer when we went to Chicago for a few days, and you convinced them to adopt an elderly dog from the local shelter. We arrived last Friday, and during the bonfire that night I spread your ashes, and everyone smiled without saying a word-they knew what you did and still do mean to me. Has it been five months already? It seems like it's been a few days at most. Always in my heart, puppy.

Guinness was a special one. It's always hard to set them free...

Six months yesterday roughly puppy, and I forgot about it...yet I don't feel bad about it, so I think I'm finally done mourning, and turning towards remembering all the good times instead..You taught me so much, and I will always love you for that.

Plus I'll bet Oberon has been a good grief counsellor. Guinness will always be with you...in your heart.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

One year Guinness, it's passed by so fast but I still miss you just as much..I'd write more, but we have to get ready to take Kitty in to be put to sleep-she's gotten weaker and weaker and we could tell when she looked at us this morning that it's time..I just wish it wasn't today though..

 

I love you Guinness.
