Vent on pet loss and grief
Does anybody else feel like they got shot through the chest and are just walking around with this giant hole, waiting for it to slowly close up? There's nothing to speed up the process so you're just hobbling around in this pain you can't ignore.
People may or may not choose to address this obvious wound. And if they do, they are telling you that it will get better with time. I know this to be true, but in the meantime you're standing there with this gaping hole where your heart used to be and are like ok well...what do I do? Just wait it out?
How am I supposed to do anything when so much of me is missing and there's an indeterminate amount of time until I'm somewhat whole again?
I've already adopted another dog to help me heal, but then there's this looming threat of being shot again at some point in time.
Give me my dog back.
