I haven't had the wherewithal to join in lately. [View all]

My sweet girl dogga passed early Wednesday morning between 4&7.
She slept with me every night.
She was still with me at 4, but upon arising at 7, took one look and I just knew she was gone.
Having her buried in a cemetary.
She passed the day before the 6 year anniversary of my husband's passing.
I'm a mess.
Have industrial strength grief AND guilt that I should have done more for her.
Will make an appointment tomorrow with behavioral medicine specialist.
I read much about why losing a pet/dog is so devastating. Perhaps even more than losing a human. So it gives me some consolation that I'm not experiencing something unheard of.
Please forgive me if I don't/can't respond. A heart emoji alone is all I need.

Love to all my brothers and sisters in humanity on DU....
