my dog died today.
#lemon8diarychallenge I had her since i was 12. i’m 23 now. i got her around the time my mental health really started to become in issue. she’s been here for the good the bad and the ugly. it’s hard to believe she’s rlly gone😔
we’re having her cremated. and as we found her around 5, none of the places were open so we have to wait till tomorrow to take her in somewhere.
my soul dog passed a couple years ago (seizure she never came out of so we had to put her down) and she was also cremated so we’re going with the same company. while my lola was not my soul dog, she was my constant. she wasn’t affectionate, but she was a comforting presence that i, even if i didn’t realize, relied on.
The bond between a pet and their owner is often unparalleled, filled with moments of joy, comfort, and companionship. Many individuals find solace in the love they receive from their dogs, which can significantly impact mental health. Losing a dog can be devastating, as emotional support often comes from these furry friends. In situations like this, cremation offers a way to honor the cherished memories shared. It is a process many pet owners choose to ensure a dignified farewell. As the grieving process continues, it’s essential to remember the joy and love that pets bring into our lives. Engaging with pet loss communities or utilizing support resources can aid in healing. Sharing stories about our beloved pets can also be therapeutic, allowing us to celebrate their impact on our lives. Recognizing that it’s okay to grieve and seek help is fundamental in navigating this difficult time. The remembrance of pets like Lola will continue to live on in our hearts, forever cherished.
