Missing Lily


Once again it is my "Friday" night. It is so good to have the work week finished. To know that I don't have to hear that irritating alarm in the morning. I have nothing planned for tomorrow, but hope to enjoy it more than I have days past. We've been to the mountains for a camping trip-our first camping trip without Lily. We had a good time things went well, but it was very difficult and sad without her. Since I've been home I've not been able to get rid of the sadness. It just hangs with me. Coming home from work is especially hard, we had a special little routine when I would walk in the door. Our house does not feel like home to me any more. I loved that little dog so.

    It is so hard, I know. Maybe starting a journal, where you can write down your sadness and let it out, would help.
    Sending you big hugs!

    I can so relate! After our first dog, Moe, died it took me a few months to start feeling like I was coming out of the sadness. I like stregata's suggestion of starting a journal - maybe even an art journal. Sending much love!! Silke

    Its going to get better. But it will take time.
    That ache will dull but her sweetness will always be with you. Thinking of you,
    xx

    I know that sadness...but it will ease over time...be especially gentle with yourself now.

    It is not an easy time. When we lost our first puppy a couple of years ago I would have episodes of overwhelming sadness at very unexpected times. We have had a new wonderful puppy for a little over a year and I still have episodes of sadness over the loss of Zoe. Time does pass and it gets easier. Be gentle with yourself.
