I fall to pieces when I lose a dog. I'm inconsolable for weeks.
It is hard. The pain of loss is the tax we pay on love.
But I'll take the love and the pain every single time.
The bond that was forged between your dog's soul and your own deserves the same space for grief and healing as any other big loss. You will grieve. And you'll heal. The pain will give way to gratitude.
I hope it comes quickly.

You’ll be with them one second
In the next are gone
They disappear,
almost like they were never here
Just a thought
Maybe even just a blip
Nobody talks about your biggest heartbreak when you’re sobbing your eyes out and they’re the only thing to keep you stable
Almost as stable as the Colosseum
They keep you so strong until they’re gone
Gone where you can’t see them anymore
No contact nothing
Nobody talks about your biggest heartbreak when
You have to walk into that house
And see them lifeless
All you can do is lose it
Because now you know that they can’t keep you stable anymore
And nothing is able to replace that
Nobody able to replace the stableness that they gave
Nobody talks about your biggest heartbreak when
only real ones know that this isn’t about family
Walking in on your lifeless body
Was my biggest heartbreak
Knowing that you weren’t gonna be here anymore
Seeing you cold and stiff
It’s something that is engraved in my head
Engraved in my soul
My mind, races back to when I was five
Being with you in the yard
or when I was 11
and being with you in Connecticut
I remember getting that call
The one explaining how energetic you were
And how frustrated I was because of it
Frustrated because I knew it was your last moment
Last moment I couldn’t do anything to stop it
I couldn’t do anything
make you live one more year
You were there for me since I was little
I was sobbing my eyes out over a break up
And you were there to comfort me when I needed it
You were there for me during the divorce
You were there for me when I felt like relapsing
Matter of the fact that you were always there
when I needed you, you were by my side
When I was having a panic attack, cause you were there
You could tell something was wrong even if I denied it
Looking back, I regret pushing you away so much
No all I wish that you were still here
Cause I don’t wanna be here if it’s not with you
Not near you
Every time I’m on my cousin’s property
I have to drive by you
Remembering seeing you on the floor
Remembering walking out screaming
Because I couldn’t accept the fact you were gone
I can’t accept the fact that you’re gone
Since you’ve been gone,
I’ve lost a part of myself
A part of myself I would never get back
Real ones know that This isn’t about a person
