How do you get over your best friend passing away?

0

My dog actually passed away. But he was still my best friend. Only dog lovers and pet owners will know the feeling i have right now. Its really hard to say good bye to something you raised from holding his bottle to seeing him die. He died about a month ago & i can’t seem to let go. I have a new puppy named Chance , but i could never get over my dog named Trouble. He was different from all the other dogs i’ve owned & met.

It is definitely hard. How I got over my kitten passing away was getting a new pet and passing over the love (although You've tried that). Make a collage or something that captures the good memories you had with your dog, and try to keep your mind on the happy times. Trouble is in a better place now. A month is still very soon, it will take plenty of time for your heart to heal. Something that helped me was I kept her collar by my bed, to remind me that she will always be here, not physically but in spirit. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here.

I don't know about pets but I'm sure his passing must hurt a lot. But just like every thing else, just let the pain fade with time. It's a shallow answer but sometimes all we can do is wait it out.

I'm so sorry :-( I know it's hard for a pet to die, I've had pets die before and it feels like a part of your life has been ripped away from you. The pain usually goes away over time, there's really no other way to cure the hurt you're feeling right now.

Honor their memory and let those good memories sustain you, not drag you down.

I think the whole idea is that you don’t get over it. Ever.I guess you just sort of learn how to cope with it. Them lying there when you see them take their last breathe before life slowly drifts out of them. I never had a best friend to lose like you, but grand parents, uncles, I’ve seen them in their hospital the day they’ve died and watched them go.You cry, we all cry, it makes us human and shows us that we have emotion and that you truly cared about that person. You learn more about them, maybe find out how close you truly were to them.I am sorry for your loss Jordan and I wish that I could sympathize more.
