llamb, one would think that after a year we could get past this grief. It takes time, nobody knows how much time as it's different for each of us.

Hang in there and just keep thinking good thoughts. You willmake it through this.

Visit with us in Grief Support chat any night you can make it. Maybe that will help.

I understand your pain and share in your grief. You did your best to keep your baby safe. You also gave her your heart and love. I had an aussie mix that developed an auto immune disease called AHIA. If they were looking at her gums..maybe they were pale..then she could have had this. Sadies started out with low platelets. In the end...I guess what happened does not matter. You still lost your Millie and your heart is still hurting. Sometimes in finding answers you get closure..but truly the closure happened when you watched Millie take her last breath. She is and will always remain with you. Her spirit and love live in your heart. Carry that with you. Give yourself time..believe me it takes alot of time to quit hurting. I still am in grief over Sadie and now..my fifteen year old girl is gone. I put her to sleep yesterday. It was an act of kindness and love because she could no longer even stand long enough to eat without falling. Does that lesson the pain...NO. Does knowing she lived over fifteen years bring me comfort...not really. My heart only feels the emptyness and pain from her not being here. So be kind to yourself. Give yourself time. Make a memorial for your baby. I just made one for CK. If I knew how to post a link here I could share it..but am not that smart I guess. I am so sorry for your loss. Aussies are very special. Remember...you were her mom..she knew you loved her.
:Pat and the tribe..
:Jake,CK,Sadie and Beaus spirits in my heart forever
