Loneliness and fear of losing my only companion, my Dog

My dog has been sick for the past few weeks and I don't know how I will keep going... She's a senior dog and I can't help but feel the sadness and anxiety of her not recovering. I've been dealing with all of this alone and I wish I could lean on someone during this hard time but the ones I reached out did not help nor gave me any support. I'm growing tired everyday and I don't know how much longer I will be able to carry all this burden without crumbling and falling with no way of standing up.

I don't expect anyone to read this but if you made it this far into my thread, thanks.

  • @Fs2606 I'm so sorry for one everything your dealing with and that you feel alone. I know the struggle of that same fear. I had a sickly cat. He dodged death 3 different times and I finally lost him when he was only 9 years old.And I'm not saying it didn't hurt like ***. As he lay there in the process of dying, I told him I would be ok and to wait on me in heaven. I knew he loved me. But after he died I didn't realize how exhausted I was from just years of worry. Was he hurting? Was he happy? Was I being cruel to him by not putting him to sleep...it was almost relief. I knew that he wasn't in pain. His little body just couldn't do it no more. I had him cremated and I got him in my bedroom surrounded by his pictures. I tell you all this bc I know your scared but it's a cycle of life. He would want you to be ok.  Have you read the rainbow bridge?? Google it. I still can't read it without sobbing for him. But knowing how handsome he's gonna look when I walk into my mansion on heaven! You are gonna get through this.

Fearing the loss of a beloved pet is never easy to face. I completely understand how you're feeling right now.  I've faced it myself—being alone when each of my four cherished cats passed away due to age or illness.
If you want to talk, I am here!
