My precious boy, my heart is breaking
I lost my best friend a couple nights ago and I feel like I’m falling apart. I had him for about 13 or 14 years. He passed away right next to me while I was holding his paw and rubbing his ear. He went everywhere with me, and he was my anxiety support, my comfort, my safe place.
I can’t stop crying and I honestly don’t know how I’m supposed to get through this. I just want him back. The pain is so intense, I’ve been crying all day, my face is puffy and red and I barely recognize myself. I’ve had pets die before, but it has never hit me this hard.
How do I even start to heal from this? How do I make this hurt less? I got him when he was 3 and he lived until 17. It feels like we grew up together. He was my whole world and he went everywhere with me. I just feel so empty without him.
