I lost my baby on Wednesday

I wonder if this pain will ever go.

She never goes near the road but that morning
she did. I keep remembering the moment
over and over.

I feel so guilty ....

    So sorry that you are hurting so badly. Do talk to someone if you can, even if it's just an understanding stranger on the other end of the phone. I think talking will help to stop the 'looping' of the trauma so that you can cherish your memories.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    I can't seem to stop crying. Every time I go into our
    room where she always was, whenever I go outside as
    she was always with me there. I feel like my heart
    has been ripped out.
    She was more than a dog, I never realised how
    much I loved her till she was gone.

    I even found myself looking for a dog today
    The house is too quiet and I miss her too much.

    Then I realise that no dog would ever be her.

    I wish this was a bad dream.

    I can empathise with you, as I had to have my little dog PTS two weeks ago.. It is devastating to say the least. Just sending you a big (((HUG))). x

    ^^^ Me too.
    The shock and trauma of that kind of loss is in my experience worse than losing a pet to old age related illness. I know just what you mean about reliving every moment of it. I will take time , get help if you need it, but you will make it through.

    Thanks for your kind words.

    I feel so guilty. She was out there with me and
    I didn't even hear the bus coming. She
    never goes near the road. I looked down at
    my phone and when I looked up it
    was too late. Too late.

    The noises she made haunt me. I thought
    she'd just broken her leg. She died a minute
    later. My son heard the sounds. My daughter
    collapsed with grief. Mitzy was only 3. How
    does the pain and regret ever leave me.
    It was my fault. I was supposed to protect
    her. She was the centre of our lives.
    Some people may think its only a dog but
    she wasn't.
