How long does the heartache last?

I had to put my sweet dog of 12 years down 3 days ago and I still feel overwhelmed by sadness. I know that the length of grieving varies by individual, but how long does the intensely sorrowful part last? I can't think of anything else and just feel unbelievably sad. Thank you

Ways to deal with a loss

A friend of mine lost her beloved animal a few months ago and every time I think about her loss it makes me tear. A few days after her dog, Zion, passed, she created a site dedicated to him and the life he had with her. What she created was her way of dealing with the pain she felt.

15 Year old Lab, my buddy

I had to put my 15 year old lab down this past Friday and I am having a horrible time getting over the loss.

Do Pets Feel Grief over the Loss of a Loved One?

One of my cats died recently. She was 15 years old, and one of my other cats had been her companion for 6 years. Both of my other cats grieved for her loss. They just acted differently; they weren't playful, the more vocal one sat around and yowled. I could tell they were upset by her death.

Sway Love: Turning Grief into Hope and Inspiration

I have not been able to read through the entire article. It touches my heart in the most tender of places. I got my two kitties 7 yrs ago, just after losing my husband to cancer. They saw me through 7 yrs of heart wrenching grief and loved me and filled my life with hope and joy. Other than being my very best friends, family and caretakers, they were born on the very day my husband died. They seem to know that... (continued)
