Oh Borzoi, I know it seems like forever in so many ways that Schatzi has been gone. But as Paulinenz said, 5 weeks is relatively a short time to recover from such a major loss. I also know that Schatzi was hole torn in a heart that has already been so damaged by loss and grief.

Taking that all into consideration, you need to give yourself a little more time. When you are able to bring that precious new baby into your home and devote attention to it, that will help. You know you are welcome to the grief support chats and maybe there we can work through it together.

It's been 5 wks, and still I hurt so bad over my Schatzi. I can go days without a tear, and then I start crying all over again. was going through photos last nite, and had to stop, crying, looking at the photos I took of him his last day on Earth. Just now, I picked up his buddy, the human hating cat, Fidget, and hugged her, crying, my only link to my special boy. I've never had an animal loss affect me like his has. . .I have three 1/2 rolls of film of him, and can't take them in, can't get them developed, knowing it'll hurt all over again.

:He was special, and I really think when I let him go, something insdie me died. . .and the tears won't stop.
