DeeringAmps Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Sad news Wookiee, my heart goes out to you. I can’t imagine suffering losses like this back to back. Bury yourself in your music and use your grief as inspiration. We have your back! t 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Boog Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) 1 hour ago, Wookiee said: I have nothing left emotionally Sorry to hear that Wook. Well, I know there's no "replacing" pets but my advice would be to give urself some time to morn then start a new relationship with a new dog(or two new dogs). Life is brimming all around you my friend and there's many pets that would love your home and your companionship. Btw, my daughter's cat is very old and she's super attached to it. When it does pass, I'm gonna bring her a new kitten. I already know my daughter will have mixed emotions but I also know her heart will melt and she will immediately take to it. It's the circle of life. For all its pains there's a beauty to it too. New beginnings, new bonds, a new chapter. In time youll be okay again. God Bless 🙏 Edited February 5 by T Boog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Screed Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 There is nothing I can possibly say that can ease your grief, but your post has jolted me to reset my priorities. I hope the hole in your heart heals quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, know that the idea that you have nothing left will eventually be proven otherwise. The emotional well from which we draw musical inspiration is filled with all the experiences life has ever thrown at us, both good and bad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigb Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 As I said elsewhere, I can't believe what Life's thrown at you lately, but the key IS to find something positive to focus on (and there HAS to be something!). Now, I know you have children Wooks! Sending even more positive thoughts your way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starship Krupa Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Shedding tears for ya, mate. Missi looks like a real sweetie. My departed doggy Kittery was one of the finest souls it's been my pleasure to encounter in this life. One day she will have a successor, replacement is impossible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane_B. Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 So sorry Wookie. I won't say I know how you feel. I always disliked hearing and saying that. I will say the worse day of my life was when my mother passed away. My dogs passing away over the years was equal and almost worse in some ways. The worse part for me is the silence at home when they're not there and reality sets in. It was maddening. My last two were sisters that someone dumped in the woods as pups and we brought them home. They suffered with cancer and I kept them around too long. I should have let them go sooner but I couldn't. When my last one died 5 years ago I swore I would never get another one. I still feel that way. It hurts too much. For me, the joy does not outweigh the hurt this late in my life. It's ok to feel that way. A lot of people do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amberwolf Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 @Wookie: I sympathize greatly with you. I don't know if any of this helps, but... My dogs (all rescues, usually big ones, so many I have lost count; the last decade's worth from the SaintBernardRescue of Arizona) are my family, my "kids" as it were. I have lost so many dogs over the decades but it always hurts just as much each time, sometimes even more because I feel the loss of the others on top of the latest one(s), which happens more as time goes on. For now I still have JellyBeanThePerfectlyNormalSchmoo(ButAVeryStrangeDog) but who knows how long she'll be around (she takes antisieizuire meds 3x daily, but they don't know what causes her seizures; been almost year since they started and they're under control but...you never know with this stuff). (Becasue I don't know how mcuh I have left in me to handle this, I've been designing Snuggles The Wolf as a robotic companion that "wont' die", but I doubt I'll get that done before *I* do). The last ones I lost were Kirin in May of 2021 and then Yogi in June; I was knocked so far off axis that I was forced to go on leave from work for half a year to recover. Kirin was my special one, attached to me all the time, and I to her. I've only had a few that were truly that close, but she was the closest even of those. Yogi had been with me since about a yearish after I had lost my entire previous set of four in a housefire (one of whom was another super-close one), and it was like someoone had just cut my life off there, after having just lost Kirin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
