- Pet loss.
It will affect all pet parents at some point in their life. It is the hardest part of having a furry family member. Sometimes losing a pet can even be more difficult than losing a human companion.
This webinar was filmed right after losing my heart dog, Finn. I felt it was necessary to help pet parents learn that grieving over the loss of our furry companions is an important step to healing our broken hearts.
In this webinar, you will learn about:
- The different stages of grief
- Exercises to help you process your grief in a healthy way
- Where to find support if you're feeling alone
- Ways to remember and memorialize our loved ones
This is a sensitive and very important topic. We hope you find it helpful in whatever place you're in, whether it is grieving for the loss of your pet or preparing for the possible end of life situation with your beloved pet.
If you want to make sure that you're doing all you can for your next pets and current pets, make sure to watch our free masterclass: • How To Find The Root C...

ABOUT Dr. Katie Woodley - The Natural Pet Doctor
=====
I am a small animal veterinarian who developed a passion for natural medicine while I was living in New Zealand. My vet career was lucky enough to begin in the beautiful country of New Zealand. I was able to see how living off the land by growing our own vegetables and raising our own animals was the way to live the healthiest versions of ourselves. My pets were lucky to have lots of open space to run around in, and we were always at the beach or the river.
When we moved back to the States five years ago, my husband unfortunately developed an autoimmune disease. As we researched natural medicine options for him to avoid the horrible side effects of the treatment options his doctors were providing him, I realized that I was doing a disservice to my animal patients by not offering these holistic options to them. I began down the integrative medicine route, and I have never been happier. Through nutrition, acupuncture, herbal medicine, essential oils, and supplements, every animal can achieve optimal health or feel their best even when they have a chronic illness or disease like cancer. I currently have my certification in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, and I am continuously learning about the other natural modalities and growing my knowledge base every day!
I started this business to provide pet owners with more resources for natural medicine advice and care, because we need to increase awareness of how amazing natural medicine truly is! My mission is to ensure that all pet parents have access to herbal medicine, supplementation and nutritional advice throughout their pet's lifetime. One of my greatest joys is the opportunity to collaborate with both pet parents and other veterinary professionals to ensure access to all available integrative options for pet health care.

@@thenaturalpetdoctor still after 3 months excruciating grief .sobbing i dont know what to do
I understand. I lost my 20 year old cat to kidney failure in June. Then 2 weeks ago my 13 year old died quite suddenly after getting diagnosed with congestive heart failure days earlier. It is devastating.
No one can ever replace them. There’s a big whole in our hearts right now. We just lost our beloved cooper. We don’t know how to move on from here. My husband and I are devastated
Same here. Had my Scooter, Lab 18.5 years & last week hes fine, this week hes gone. 4 days Ive been so lost all day & night. No direction, Nothing is fun or interesting.
I missed her so much. It's only been 24 hours. God please ease the pain. In memory of Zoe. I hope everyone here 🙏 shall see their pet in heaven.
We will. My kitties will there and so will yours❤
Dogs are rude, and kitties have claws..., but it is all peace and love for us, and our critters there. God has Dogs, and cats that get along with each other because he made it that way for us. It has got to be that way... @@sabinekoch3448
We will!! God Won ALLREADY! How could anything less than a beautiful holy lovng God..make something out of his Creation so lovely and beautiful and unique and handsome and smart and everything else in a little fur baby and divinely guide it to us. To love and care for and protect and love and play with....and everything and not let you see it again ...he's not like that... You bet he's waiting for us to pick up our LOVES ON OUR RETURN... HOME IN HEAVEN....THEY GO BACK TO HEAVEN WE WILL SEE THEM AGAIN... GOD CARES!
I lost my cat five days ago. Never been so sad in my whole life. Only today I feel a little better, but I feel bad for doing so. I too hope we will all see our pets in Heaven. I really hope that my cat and grandpah comes to meet me at heavens door when I die.
@@TheCarlzor It gets better with time. I started to foster family pets, but still can’t replace the love of my beloved lost one.
Helped my little guy cross cross the rainbow bridge today. He was 9 days shy of turning 18. I got him when he was 5 weeks old. I was 22 now 40. 18 years of being my best friend, my therapy and my everything! I have no children or a significant other it's always been him and I! This is the hardest thing I have ever been through. I can't even sleep in my bed. I know I need to grieve and I'm trying to accept I did the right thing. I love you Cooper my little weiner dog!
Ohhh I hope youre more at peace now I dont know what to say bit I had to put my lil doe eyed boy and his lil mate down yesterday...15 yrs and Im heartbroken...home alone too...their names were Cooper and Toby. So thought Id comment here because of our pet having the same name. All the best to you 💞
just remember he loved you to the end,iknow how you feel,one week in now, its awful.
I hope it's gotten easier for you. I feel the same way. I don't have children or significant other either. Just me and him for 14+ years. I lost my little boy Gizmo 23 days ago and I'm devastated. I feel so lost and alone. I Got him at 6 weeks old. I was 26 now I'm 41. Please tell me it gets better.
@@eelopez81 hi evelyn,sorry for your loss,i waited a month, and there's only one cure, i now have a six month old rescue dog snoring his head off behind me now, and running me ragged during the day,its the only cure
@steve ef it'll be a month in a few days and I'm still just as devastated as if it were the first. I have decided to talk to my Dr. and maybe get counseling as I still can't even function. I'm so happy for you but I really don't think I'm ready for a new baby.
I believe in my heart that I will see all my pets in heaven and I thank Jesus for that
Amen definately
Yes, you definitely will!
Amen
God I hope so🙏
Me too 😭
Feels like a punch to the gutt that NEVER goes away. The disbelief that our best friend is gone and never coming back...in time, the pain "lessens" a bit, but that memory is always there. We just lost our 12-year old Golden Retriever and it's a pain that is indescribable. One minute you feel okay and the next, you are overcome with tears.
Hi, I'm sorry to hear of your Golden passing recently. Thank you for sharing your message and we hope that this video helped a little in some way. We are sending you healing energy.
@@thenaturalpetdoctor Thank you for your very kind, thoughtful words...it really meant a lot. :o)
Yes, one moment you are okay and the next you are needing to cry. So very hard. I’m so sorry for your loss.
@@donnawhittaker5197 I believe it's one of the worst pains we humans go through as well. You can actually "feel" your heart hurt.
One can read all the comments written at any time, yet they are only sourced when the same tragedy visits you.
Have never experienced such excruciating pain. My little Bobbie, such a loyal, friendly cat. Taken suddenly at four years old.
Having seen all your comments about the fact one never recovers from the loss, a lifetime of hurt lies ahead.
Just want the little lad back so badly, his black and white fur.
My baby died 6-13-23 and she was 16 years old. I loved her with my whole entire heart. I am devastated. I look forward to when God calls me to heaven. I pray she meets me at heaven’s gate.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Thank you for sharing your message and I hope this video was able to give you some small amount of comfort during this time.
I used to tell my dog Bella that she had my whole heart, that l loved her more than l had ever loved anybody, that she was the best thing that had ever happened to me. I am lost.
I feel the same way way. I miss my baby so much. Everyday is completely different now
No words to describe this pain
I understand..just lost my angel baby Alfie, ill love him forever 💙 ❤️
I lost my Bella at 15. I have never hurt more. She was my life, my family and my love. We were a family. I’m single and it was just Bella and I. ❤
i am sooooo sorry girl. iam in the same position. it's just been my furchild Bailey and i for years. it's 3:30am and i can't sleep just be close just in case... i am sending you love and strength.
I just lost My "Bentley" today...and I just don't know what I'm gonna do...I like you was single he was everything to me...I love him and I miss him I don't have any consolation because there is not one...not one single thing that can make me be ok with anything.. right now just genuinely heartbroken!
@orsumbunnygottahelp I'm so sorry for your loss. I also lost my everything yesterday and I'm so devastated💔 I hope we can both heal in time.
@@truckpilot01 nobody! Prepares you for this! If it weren't for my complete love for my little man and my faith in God above right now...I don't know how I'd ever get through this . I'm not doing ok...I'm so completely broken broken for my little B....he was with me for 18 years and all 18...he made the live in me grow big and the live I had for him even bigger..mhea just a little guy.. and I'm scared for him I've never been without him for only brief meticulously planned times. It's only been hours since I held him so close ...and I just can't fathom or see past each second he's not here I just don't know myself without him....I will miss my little dude 4 Ever untill I come and collect him in heaven where he is with my Dad. Making everyone around just quiver with love..HE IS A total BONUS PACKAGE AND A ONE IF A KIND "MENTCH" of a human love bug . . That Boy wanted to be here with his Momma and dad every day. He lived to hang out anywhere with us...he was happy to be here and I was so happy to be his Momma...Love is an undertone for the. Way I Felt for Bentley...God's time is TRUELY Golden and passes like a blink of an eye up in there...I know they will barely feel separation from us..God would never have something he made for us to experience so much sadness or anything like it...we because we are here and this place on earth is not our final place. But a place to "WORK IT ALL OUT" AND a place to experience life...and his Love for us...and is dieing every day...will only some day be a glimmer as well when we get to go home for ever!...can't wait to see my little guy . I miss him something terribly...I'm a very broken heart broken momma tonight...just doing minute by minute..those sinking heart feelings of this finality I cannot bear ..I want him here so badly..I have no word to explain my brokenness!! I miss my LOVE!
I lost my chihuahua Kirby on Wednesday. He was only 7. He seemed fine. I went out to meet a friend in the morning and after 30 minutes his health started deteriorating. I had a guest staying over and he was trying to reach me for over an hour and I had my phone on silent mode. Those messages killed me. When I came home he was already dead. It was just me and Kirby. I can’t stop crying. I’m not leaving the house. It hurts so much and I feel so guilty.
I am 60 years old and never in my life have I experienced this kind of pain. My little Sophie was 12 years old when I found out there was no way she would get better. We were never apart not even for one day. I am absolutely devastated and just don’t feel my life will ever be the same. I hate being in my own home cause everything reminds me of her. When I leave for the day and get back home I am just bawling when I open the door cause she isn’t there. This is for sure the worst pain I have ever felt. I miss her so much 😭😭
I'm sorry to hear of Sophie passing and can understand your feelings during this time. Finn was a big part of our lives. You will always have the joyful memories that you gave each other. I hope that this video was able to provide some comfort for you. We appreciate you sharing your message and are sending you healing energy.
I konw exactly what that feels like, to come home to a silent house without your dog there to welcome you. It makes everything so sad.
i lost my Buckley dog 1 1/2 mounts ago .. there is a big snow drift covering his grave .. 12 1/2 yr old .. he was so kind we were so bonded . we were never apart for more than 12 hours onley a cupple times .. i sure miss Him . im 65 . i have had outher dogs i loved alike , for 20 years i had a dog and it hurt when i lost them a few were young .
i dont know if ill get another dog .. i might not out live it . then what ?
i love all my buck dogs >Bucko, Buckley, Bucka, Bucku , and Buckley . i remember all of them they were all pickneese dogs . and each one had different personalities. i learned after i list Bucko who was my moms dog , then mom died and He became my Dog .. we are far more conected than to just tack them for granit ..
i hope you are healing . i sure miss Buckey , and it will be like that untill i go where they have gone ,.
i ment Bucko, >Buckey < & * * *
I'm so sorry and also going through extreme greif. I lost my everything yesterday at 12 years 7 months of a full life with me. I delivered him from his mom into this world and held him for last time yesterday. This is very heavy for my heart.
After a 4 month battle with a brain tumor, a 2 week battle of liver failure, and $45k later, I had to let my best friend go yesterday. Fitz was an almost 10 year old GSD and my true best friend. He got me through my divorce 4 years ago and a year and a half ago he helped me find my forever love. He fought hard and we did everything we possibly could for him.
I’m truly devastated and heart broken, but I’m also happy and at peace. He’s not in pain and he’s no longer struggling. I’m happy knowing everything we did together over the last 10 years. It’s so hard but so relieving knowing he is running free and healthy in doggy heaven
Thank you for sharing your journey and the life of your Fitz. Unfortunately, we had to say good buy to our GSD Finn in a similar way. I hope you found some comfort in this short video, and love that you are able to find some peace as well during this time. Sending you our healing thoughts and energy.
I couldn’t afford more treatments. I had to put her down. It’s awful.
We lost our boy Colin Friday and I am devestated. I sleep with his ashes every night and cry myself to sleep. The pain is unending.
I'm so sorry😢
Sending you healing 💛
I’ve heard the grief of pet loss is proportional to how much you love the pet. It’s clear reading these comments and experiencing pet loss that we love our pets tremendously, leaving us drowning in a sea of grief.
Yes, the quiet is excruciating. My first time without a pet in 20 or some years.
Same here 4 days now been 20 years now and I'm beside myself
@@BlueVote23 So difficult. A friend from long ago (haven't seen her in decades) announced on FB that her dog died unexpectedly today. I cried. I felt her pain.
@@bestimpersonations I'm so sorry for your friend and I appreciate your message. The only thing that gives me hope is knowing on a soul level that we will be reunited with all of our loved ones and animals when we die because energy itself cannot die it only transforms 🙏
My heart goes out to you and your friend!
@@BlueVote23
Gosh I am grateful to find this video🙏
I so feel your pain and it is painful as I also am for the first time without a pug in over 22 years and my black pug transformed at just 6 -a little over 3 months ago so our timing is the same if you were freshly posting! My pug was born unable to walk so the amount of care that we were so privileged to give him was so rewarding and he was so unique and it is so intensely challenging as he was super healthy and now I am at the end of a major chapter as I have been taking care of pugs who have had cancer and my first who lived until almost 20 and was blind and deaf for almost 7 years if his life.and my first rescue who was in hospice. Then my last who I am grieving now as he passed as I was going through certification for reiki and he had passed away peacefully out of the blue during what was meant to be a happy experience. I don’t really know who I am right now and I so relate to how you are all feeling!
So grateful to find these similarities. I know our pets never die but to not have him physically, my heart is needing time to catch up.
I am so heartbroken over the loss of my sooo beloved Jack Russel, October 17th, 2021. Gave me 17 years of unconditional love, friendship, companionship and adventure. The pain is bitter and so are the beautiful, sweet memories. Had him since he was 6 weeks old, he was my baby. What unconditional love and protection I got from him, but not from family nor two now ex husbands. The house is deadfully quiet. I hear and feel him everywhere. I miss his tiny, warm body next to me, when we hugged, (all the time) his playfulness, and the long trips we took by car and plane; he went everywhere with me. Even having his ashes, I am just inconsolable. I miss him so much and have fallen into depression. I know I am far from being the only one that this happens too, but it hurts so much. I wish I could meet him again in another realm, in another... this time eternal reality. I will love you forever my beloved Camilo🖤🙏🌈🐕
Im so sorry for your loss.. i can feel your pain.. my dog died yesterday when he was hit by a truck... It'shorrible... you are not alone...
@@Sunshine-ty7mm my dear, I am so terribly sorry for your loss! I just hope your baby did not suffer and it was quick. I can imagine how you feel. It is absolutely gut wrenching. He was the child I could never have, the family that is too busy to care, and I feel totally bereft without him. I hope I can recover from his loss. He was my world and I loved him to pieces, just as I am sure as your was. Be strong and let yourself grieve like I am trying to. These videos do help and I am thankful for them. May your, mine and all our wonderful domestic companions RIP. 😢🖤🙏🌈🐕🙌
@@Alfablue227 yes thank god it was quick.. It helps to speak to people who go through the same pain... I really feel for you... i know it's devestating and how lonely you can feel... Sometimes animals are better than humans. (excuse my bad sentences, im dutch)
@@Sunshine-ty7mm Well, at least it was quick, although the quick death is no less traumatic to us. Your English is not bad, and I am also not a native speaker, I am Portuguese. I loved my dog like a son. He was totally loved and I carried him everywhere within reason, even to weddings. If he was not allowed to join, too bad, I didn't attend. I am so hurt I can't see myself going thru this again, but maybe I will, after all he was my 2nd canine. The 1st was a terrible loss as well, but he was an Akita and lived less years than Camilo. Still I hurt so bad from Bullet it took me over 10 years to get another dog, a Cocker Spaniel which was stolen from my home. Another heartbteak, he was still a baby, and absolutely adorable. Another 8 years before I got Camilo. I now am winding down in years, and I just cannot see myself going thru another loss as such... It is too painful, but who knows. In the meantime, I try to remember the lifetime we had together, and the amazing years of living, traveling the world and the joy and love he provided to all he met. Camilo was just like me and we had such a deep connection. He could read me, I could read him. He was the most human dog I ever met. I am sure yours was as special as only dogs can be. Such beautuful bright stars and complements to our lives. Hang in there and keep busy. It is very hard and painful, but we must keep on living despite the temporary emptiness and darkness. God bless. 🙏🌹🐕🌈
@@Alfablue227 You've had a lot of loss before.. bizar! I love people like you who really can have that deep connections with anmimals.. To me people who are like that are good people... I can fee the deep love for your dog through your words... Wish i could bring them all back.. Everything seems so meaningless right now.. I now that time will heal the deepest wounds but i don;t see it right now.. I have no energy and can't eat... Thinking about the things we shared so deeply together... Bless you!
I am here because I had to put my dog to sleep yesterday. We were able to do it at home. It was so peaceful and sweet. I am heartbroken 💔🐩
Same for me, my precious pup left us 3 days ago. 💔😢🐶
Now that i recently lost my pet of 13 years i understand the pain and grief of losing a pet so please people if you fell sad, devastated speak to someone about it specially people who can relate to your pain, even if you feel alone you are NOT alone your pet will always be there for you in your heart ❤️
We are never alone and every pet parent who has lost a fur family member will understand. There are so many just here that are welcoming and understanding.
@@thenaturalpetdoctor Im grateful i have a strong support around me to overcome the sadness even tho i will forget my friend
I m just about to loose my 14yrs old Maltese soon to liver cancer..I can feel the pain now that she will be gone forever from me.n I have been crying everyday since she was diagnosed with this horrible disease
I just cannot bear to let her go n this have affect me so much that I cannot eat or sleep well everynite.
It is v 💔 as she is my constant companion.n gives me so much love n joy...she is irreplaceable..so smart n so adorable..I told her everyday how much I love her n will meet her again someday💔😭
@@anniemorris4363 stay strong my friend, im sure your furry friend knows how much you love her. She will be at peace and will look over you with the same love you showed her during her life. Sending you lots of positive vibes 🙏🏼
I'm so grateful for this video and that I'm seeing others feeling what I'm going through too. I'm 68 and I got my sweet cat 18 years ago. She got sick and passed away in 8 days...I knew there was nothing I could do to save her, so I gave her lots of love and tender care until she took her last breath. Now, it's so quiet, empty and utterly lonely...and even though I still feel her presence lying next to me, or following me into the bathroom or kitchen, and I habitually each out to look at her or to pet her . . .she's not there. When this happens, it feels like she's just taken that final breath all over again...and this happens at least 2 dozen times a day (and similar at night). No more purring me to sleep, no more meows to greet me in the mornings or when I return home. Just the devastatingly empty Black Hole of pain. I miss her so much.
My little cat Tatty died 3 weeks ago. I'm finding it very painful she was so special and loving. Still in disbelief 😥
I'm so sorry for your loss of sweet Tatty. I hope all the warm memories help heal your heart. Losing our beloved pets is one of the most difficult things we can go through❤
My earth angel went home on January 7, 2022. I’m just sharing this here for anyone else who needs it now as much as I do: “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18
I'm sorry to hear about your fur baby passing, but they do always live on in our hearts and memories forever. Sending you love, light and peace and hope all the warm memories help heal your heart during this difficult time. Thank you for sharing this beautiful quote.
Wow, powerful.
It’s been two months. Callie’s bowl is right where she left it. Haven’t touched it. Cry every day. My angel, best friend. 14 and a half years
This made me cry.i lost my boy 2 months ago I cry and hug his blanket every night.its so hard
It is less than a month since we lost our precious German Shepherd. The silence is maddening. The pain is real. It is so hard.
I’m sorry, lost my pup a little over a week ago and I am struggling to get over it.
It is the silence most I think just lost our Shepherd, 11 year old Bella ,she was a rescue ,she is totally irreplaceable
So hard and I am sorry. I lost my boy 3 days ago. My precious chocolate lab will be loved and missed forever. ❤
@@cheryllong7328I am so sorry for your loss.
My baby boy Cedar just passed suddenly 2 days ago… he was only 5 years old. There were no warning signs he went down for a nap and his heart failed. Its so raw and it hurts so bad… he had one of the best cat personalities I’ve ever seen one have.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my baby Boy Oct. 25, 2021. He was so much more than a pet. He was my best friend and companion. He was 15 years old. He was a yellow Lab-Pit mix that I rescued when he was a very young pup.
I'm sorry about your love, Cedar. Losing our fur family suddenly is heart wrenching. This happened to our adopted cat, Taz, and it broke my heart finding him in the morning. I send you peace and healing.
@@davidv.3135 they are our family. I hope all the warm memories are helping to heal your heart.
I so very sorry of your sudden loss..
There is support out there for us, grieving fur parents. I just recenetly lost my best little buddy.
I realize I needed support of others who can relate to my grief.
I'm a Christian woman, I know God is with me and knows how heart broken I'am. I know the holy spirit lead me to find some wonderful pet support groups on-line as well to help this incredible saddness.
My prayers are with you.
💕🙏🐾Elaine
I2 lost my little baby of heartattack at 5yrs old. He didnt seem to be acting himself 1day so next day I took him 2 vet and he had heartattack during testing. I never thought that last sweet look from the carrier would b our last time 2gether. I feel ur sadness. One day we will be together so I can tell her how sorry I am 4 not lookin after her enough
I lost my cat after 17 years with him . The pain excruciating , I don’t know how I will manage without him …I love you Lukas
One can read all the comments written at any time, yet they are only sourced when the same tragedy visits you.
Have never experienced such excruciating pain. My little Bobbie, such a loyal, friendly cat. Taken suddenly at four years old.
Having seen all your comments about the fact one never recovers from the loss, a lifetime of hurt lies ahead.
Just want the little lad back so badly, his black and white fur.
💔😥
@Edwardjjp same here😢my bestest boi BK has been gone 4 weeks and I miss him soooo VERY much!! My only child, HollyBear died 29 yrs ago & this pain if losing my fur-baby BK is ALMOST the exact same pain 😭😿💔
@@kayfitzgerald309 Hello Kay,
Am so very sorry to hear this. Unbearable, excruciating and right now you are searching for any solace. Most of all you want your dear friend to be alright. X
@Edwardjjp I know he is,he had went blind the last month, and was losing weight, I know he's waiting, and I hope it won't be long! I'm so sad & depressed 😔
I know this is 3 years old and all but I found it to help my grief. I lost my friend yesterday, it’s been hard and I know I have a long road ahead. This video gave me more insight and a better perspective of what I’m going through. Thank you to the creator , all the people who shared, and I’m also sorry for every and anyone’s loss of a close pet. Take care
I hope you are feeling better.
I thought I was the only one feeling this way! I recently lost my chocolate Labrador at 14 years old. I adopted him at 2 months old. We knew each other so well, I could easily read his body language when he needed something. I am so glad I am not alone. I miss him terribly. Our routines I am missing. Life is not the same anymore
I lost my chocolate lab at 11.5 years 3 days ago. I’m sorry for your loss. I absolutely loved our boy, chocolates are the best.
Had to say goodbye to my Son Goober yesterday. He was a stray dog I found and I WILL find him again. Love to all of you here who are grieving, I feel your pain
🐾❤️🤟🏼❤️🐾
I lost my heart on 1/24/23, Harry (cat)was 17/18 - he went down fast and it wasn't expected, brought him to the vet, and didn't bring him home. Having difficulty moving forward. I loved him so. His best bud, and partner in crime, Lucy (dog) very depressed.
So sorry ❤
My sincerest condolences....
my dog Vergil died overnight
I woke up and he was gone.
he was with me when my mom died and when I moved to Albuquerque
he was loyal and true to the last beats of his heart
he was my friend
I just lost my 1 year old pup on the 18th and I’m devastated 😔💔 he was my entire life and idk how I’m going to live without him. He got hit by a car 4 days after my dad passed. I’m so upset, feel so much guilt, 🥺
Please don’t blame yourself. When you were grieving the loss of your dad it’s hard to think straight and so easy to make mistakes. Im so sorry for the loss of your loved pet. I made a big mistake with my dog too because l was under so much stress and it might have contributed to her death. I’ve just hated myself for two months in a way l never knew that l could. l got a good therapist and she has helped a lot, and l turned to God because there was nobody else there for me. Please know that your pet forgives you. Because they are such loving creatures, that’s why we love them so much. ❤❤❤❤
I am so sorry 💔
I can’t bear the pain I feel right now. (I am a 76 year old childless sole survivor of my family of eight.) I took my 2 dogs for a walk in a shaded park on Sunday. We were out for about an hour, not unusual for our daily jaunts. My little shitzu, Oliver, 8 years old; seemed to be fine. It was 92 degrees out. When we got home, Oliver was panting more heavily than usual. My other dog, a mutt named Pepper, was her usual peppy self. Oliver also was producing slimey saliva. I wanted to take him to a vet, but they were closed on Sunday. He lay resting on the cool kitchen floor when I went to bed. On Monday he was lethargic and I noticed his backside was producing spots of red diarhea. I took him to the vet at 9 a.m. but they were closed until noon. I brought him home and he was lying behind my chair as I ate breakfast. When I finished and went to check up on him he was lying perfectly still with his eyes open. He had just died, still warm to the touch. I hadn’t realized the situation was so severe. Now I cannot cope with the incredible guilt of having caused the death of my darling little doggy thru my neglect. I feel like my bad judgment stole years from his life. I hate myself for what I let happen. I feel so guilty, I don’t know what to do.
David I'm so sorry to hear this. You did the right thing by trying to take him to the vet and there may have been something else going on, not related to the walk. I'm sending you healing energy and will keep you in my prayers. I hope that all the warm memories help heal your heart during this difficult time.
I just lost my precious Coco so I've been watching UA-cam. I watched a pet psychic and she said that dogs choose their death before they come here. I don't know if you're spiritual but this has helped me because my Coco's death was so sudden.
my vet killed my baby.i was reluctant that day n my hub too.two fridays bcak.n fridays i collapse.why i was nt more v8gilant.why i didnt go that day. i feel guilty.betrayed him.n hve contemplated suicide to join him

Your little one would never blame you. They choose their time to go. You did NOTHING wrong. ❤
Dachshunds are like your shadow. They pick you and love you so hard. I just lost Charles 9/5/23. I recued him 14 years ago . he made it to 17 and a half. He was my best little friend and i can hardly breathe. I have memories running through my mind non stop. He's everywhere, but nowhere. My mind cant grasp the loss and my heart is broken
Im so sorry. I know just how you feel. Hope you are feeling better now. ❤
I do still listen for him. i can hardly take this.
I just lost my best friend of 18 years yesterday. I am shattered!!! I can't stop crying and I miss him so much! I will never be the same. Today was the first day I came home from work and wasn't greeted my by best friend. I hope I will see him again someday. I have cried so hard that I can't breathe. The silence is so real, it's horrible. I know that I will get past this pain, but it will be a while. The content of this video is point on...thank you! Thanks for the poem, it speaks volumes for me!
I understand how you feel. My kiddo died on 5/9/23. I wrapped her into two blankets and talked to her the whole time. I lost my husband three years ago and now it's just me. We had no kids. I'm so lost and want to hear her in the house. I have no more words.
Same here.I cry so much.my boy isn't here to greet me and keeping me company at night.i am so lost.no more
No other will ever replace my boy.I hold his blanket at night and cry myself to sleep.he was my best friend.i can't do this!
That's the worst. Coming home and expecting to see them greet you at the door.
I just lost my little girl 3 days ago right before Thanksgiving. I’ve been through this before, but I do not remember it being this all encompassing. I had her for almost 20 years. I feel so alone. I know I will get through it, but it just hurts so much.
I lost my bestie two months ago. I’m wondering if Covid had something to do with how intense the grief is. We were all so isolated! My other dog died right at the beginning of Covid, so spending time with just my little dog became normal, and then so sweet and comfortable that l didn’t re-socialize much.
Boy, this is really tough. It’s been two months and l’ve had a good therapist every week. I think i’m going to start asking myself “What would Bella do?”. I always thought she was smarter than me. 🙂
Hugs to you. ❤
Some people may not understand my grief and say things like it was not a cat or dog or baby, and it was just a hamster, but to me and my heart, he was far more than just a hamster but my fur baby and best friend who I love with all of my heart, he is my spirit animal and I really feel it because I felt connected him on a heart soul and spirit level, his names Roach, he was my sons hamster. He was there for me when I was sick or lonely when nobody else was. I have had other pets but Roach will always have a soft spot in my heart and I even wrote him a poem :To my dear sweet Roach
You are now free to climb
to run free and climb
You have been such joy
My sweet fur baby boy
You bought much happiness to my life
And comforted me when my souls been in strife
My beloved pet you been the best
For now I lay you down to rest
My heart tells me we shall met again
My true faithful best friend
Over the rainbow bridge you now go
Straight into your heavenly home
For death cannot keep us apart
For you are forever in my heart
Thats my poem to my precious hamster Roach ,he was and still is my best friend, fur baby and soul mate animal and I will love him dearly forever. It broke my heart when he left this world and went to heaven Tuesday night but I have faith that we will be reunited in heaven ❤
Beautiful poem thanks
You are so sweet! That was perfect!You are so strong....good work
My sweet Henry (German shepherd) died on 4-30-24 and I miss him so much. 😥 We had him for almost 9 years and he was my love bug and constant companion especially being that I work from home. 🙏
I miss my baby, Bella, so much. I spent so much of my emergency savings in the past month and a half just trying to figure out what was suddenly wrong with her and no vet had answers. She was only 6. We did everything together. She was the most beautiful cat I have ever seen. She was so chatty and playful. She is the only cat I've had who came when called, loved to be held, and snuggled with me wherever I was. She loved music and would sit with me on the piano bench whenever I played. It was just the two of us and we were the happiest little family in the world.
I am so sorry. I just lost my Roxy cat 6 days ago. She was also playful and feisty and followed me everywhere. She sounds a lot like Bella. My heart goes out to you. Hugs
Oh, I am so, so sorry for your loss. Sending love your way. @@amg726
@@amg726how are you both doing today? I lost my nine year old Maine Coon Thorin Thunderpaws just a week ago, and each day is worse than the last. I wake up crying, I howl with grief whenever I walk through the front door and he's not there waiting for me. I lost my 19 year old kitty Puck 8 months ago and was still struggling when Thorin came down with pyothorax disease. I spent $8k in less than 2 weeks frantically trying to save him, but failed. I have just one pet left; a 19 year old Turkish Angora that I adopted when he was 8 (breeder had been trying to rehome him for years. Behavioral issues). He's depressed too; lays around and barely interacts with me, which makes things worse. I don't know how to live anymore.
Im not a pet person, but one day i randomly adopted a kitten crying for help outside my house. In the meantime i raised him like my own child, he always accompanied me a month before pandemic. He died two days ago, and i really hard time when im alone. And i dont have a place to share this sadness. The worst part is, i feel so guilty to realize his strange behavior in the last 3 days.
I lost my Bella… she had a tumor (most likely cancer). She was my world. Bella was my life. I will love her forever!
Lost 4 cats in one year 2023 it is a major shock but they all were old over 18 and they made my life sooo much better and i will never forget them.
So sorry to hear of the loss of your cats. Such a difficult and heartbreaking time, but the gratitude we have for them keeps them in our memory.
I just lost my baby 48 hours ago, after 13 years. I'm completely heartbroken & shattered. I always knew losing him would be the worst thing I'd ever have to deal with, but I've never felt anything close to this utter devastation. And that's saying something
I have had 15 pets over the course of my 63 years. I have each one recorded in the back of my Bible. I can remember with clarity the loss and THE LOVE with each one. Last week, I took my very sick Carmel cat to the animal hospital and had to make the devastating decision to relieve him of his pain. It is heartbreaking. I have had to try and help his litter mate, Mocha, with the loss of his brother. It has felt like a DOUBLE GRIEF watching Mocha look around the apartment for him and then look at me with the most sad eyes. I know TIME will heal the pain as it did with all of the others, but today and NOW, it hurts beyond belief.
God bless you and little Mocha. 🦋
@@JoLoughrey Thank you, but sadly Mocha passed away on November 11, only 3 days after my 29 year old son passed away. It has been a devastating few months losing all 3 of them.
@NoMoreTears64 I am so sorry for your losses.....
I just put my gentle, loving boy cat down yesterday. He was my love. I don't know how to be in this world without him. I'm gutted.
Sending you love and thoughts at this time.
My little girl molly passed from cancer on Saturday. We had the chance to do it at home with all her friends and family. She died in my arms and I gave her a big smile before she received her final shot. She was so much more than a cat she was my family. She was with me for 14 years. I still can’t believe she isn’t here 😭
I lost my baby boy Syrius this morning. He was 16. The best Chihuahua and the best friend anyone could ask for. He loved to talk and give sass. He was always full of energy and life. Loved to cuddle and loved his toys. He especially loved his morning walks with my partner who also loved him too.
I have never felt an emotional pain like this before. All I want to do is smell his clothes and curl up in his blankets.
He rapidly declined after having been put on new medications at the vet. I feel responsible for not trusting his instincts when he tried to refuse the pills and he even stopped eating near the end. I don't know if it was the medicine but I do hope others trust the bond they have with their babies and push back against directions that reduce their pet's quality of life.
I can't help but think if I discontinued the medicine immediately he would not have endured the last three weeks of suffering and would be with us this evening.
The pain from this loss is gutteral and will last a lifetime. To everyone that experiences a loss, you are absolutely not alone. I'm not sure when this will start to get better but we will always have the wonderful memories of the friends we lost.
I love you forever and always, Syrius. You chose me when you were born and I will never forgot all of the joy you brought into my life. I will painfully miss you and cannot wait to one day see you again.
I have felt the same guilt when changing my cats medication and she ended up going blind. She may have gone blind if she had stayed on the old medication or even on no medication at all. There's no way of knowing. I hope you aren't being too hard on yourself. You were doing the best you could for your beloved boy, and that's all any of us can do. Thinking of you 💜
So sorry for every one's loss, your fur babies give unconditional love like nothing on this earth.
Thanks for sharing your kind message and support!
Just need to know where is my cat baby now
My baby cat, my little girl Tigger, my life, my love, my heart, my infinity love... She is love, and love never ends, and Jesus is love, and animals are His gift of love to us, we WILL see them all again in Jesus's eyes! ❤🔥
I had to put my 12 year golden retriever down this past Saturday and I am lost. I'm dreading going to camp alone 'cause all I have is her memory now. This dog was my constant partner and she brought me such joy. I know I have to accept that her life had to end, but learning to live with this big empty hole is hard as hell.
I have had more than 10 Best buddies in my life. Each one was a JOY and hold a special place in my heart. Give yourself a few weeks and find a new puppy to pour your LOVE into. there's nothing like puppy Love and puppy breath. 🐕
Hi there! Today marks a week since my pet child passed away. I've been devastated and crying every single day. As time goes by, i find it harder to not see him, not be with him Your video helps me in my time of grief and I thank you for that!
Thanks for sharing and so sorry to hear of your pet passing recently, it is so difficult and such an adjustment. Be kind and patient with yourself.
I lost my baby on8/1/23. I really hurt. She was a awesome girl. I rescued her. From a horrible situation. I just miss my baby.❤
We lost our beloved Henry 2 days ago due to a car accident. The amount of emotions we are going through right now are almost unbearable. This podcast is helping and reading through the past comments helps. Much love to anyone reading this.
I live in the most beautiful place, but now after loosing my best friend and soulmate, all the beautiful beaches and places we used to go for hours of walks to just makes me cry. I don't want to go outside anymore. I just stay at home.
l was feeling the same way, except l live in Seattle so we took a lot of walks in the rain. 🙂 I have been forcing myself to go to the parks and places we walked- but it is so painful. l feel like l’m not really there. l walk slowly and sometimes it feels like l have forgotten how to walk. l miss her so much! l don’t even like walking but l make myself.
l pretty much always cry, sometimes for most of the walk. l was thinking today that when l see other people, strangers, without a dog, l think “Where is their dog?” . l don’t even know if they had one, or have one. When l see other people walking their dogs l’m just numb. l just think “Huh.”
But l want to become as good a person as my dog was a living being. She was so good! So l try to get better, so she will be proud of me.
I lost my 13 year old Lola four days ago and today is my first day back at work, I woke up crying thinking of times I was impatient with her, times I was on my phone and could have been spending time with her, how could I have been so negligent? How could I have let those days slip by, I have spent so much time with her, I always assumed I had so much more. She was feeling funny one night, didn’t eat her dinner, I thought no big deal, she’ll eat in the morning. I wake up to her struggling to breathe on the bed, I ran her to the emergency vet and they told me it was time. This grief has absolutely consumed me, I don’t know how I will get through work today. I know she would want me to, I know she would want me to remember years of glorious love together. My mind keeps shifting to the ways I could have been better for her, but I know that is no way to live. Reading the comments to this and knowing my feelings are valid and normal is so comforting. I will work so hard to be strong without you my Lola, I will miss you forever. I am sending so much love to those who are going through the same, this is the toughest experience I have ever gone through but we have to keep fighting for our angel babies.
This hit hard. I’m going through the EXACT same feelings you had. I know it’s been a year for you now I would to know how you have been doing since then. If you don’t want to talk about it I respect that too. Either way thank you for sharing your story and I hope you are well.
Thank you SO MUCH for making this video. I got Felix for my son. He wanted a puppy, but his father didn't like dogs, so when his father asked for a divorce and I moved out of the house Jo grew up in, and got my own house, we went and picked out a puppy for Jo. Jo named him Felix, and Felix helped Jo and I heal from the divorce, he made the three of us a family, where before we were two lost souls. Felix helped me and Jo through Junior high school, then high school, then college. Felix helped me through the loss of my father, and last year, my mother. Like Finn, he had a brain tumor, and we had to humanely euthanize our best friend of 17 years on June 15th, 2023. We went for a walk with Felix down to the lake where he loved to go swimming, then the awesome veterinarian he'd had his whole life helped usher him into the next one. The initial relief that he was no longer suffering, was replaced pretty quickly with the total devastating loss of his presence in this world. I am wrecked, as I'm sure my son must be. I am having trouble focusing at work, I feel no joy, and am wishing I could go with him. I am staying on this earth for my son. Felix didn't make a lot of noise, he was a quiet dog, but he gave off this positive vibe. The "quiet house" is real, it's huge.
😢
l’m so sorry for your loss. I just lost my little bunny. (dog) l think the loss of a pet is so hard because we completely trust their love. With people, sometimes they say they love us but really don’t, or do very unloving things. Not pets, we trust them.
I'm so devastated loosing my 11.5 year old cat Kutush last month. Vet was not good. Carelessly treated him.
He was diagnosed with stage 3 ckd. We had to euthanize him after 2 months cause he was having difficulty breathing without oxygen. He was heavily breathing from the beginning but vet said seeing the low quality xray that he has no problem with his lungs and heart. Even when he was open mouth breathing, vet said his trachea is curved, but nothing about the lungs. Kutush's liver was enlarged, but vet said at first that his colon is enlarged. After a month he said it's not colon, it's his spleen. That whole 2 months was so traumatic for me. I was sensing that the vet wasn’t properly guiding me with his problems and medicines. I was in the dark. I was scared to change this vet in Kutush's serious condition. Vet facility is not very good in Bangladesh. At the last moment I changed vet. But that was already too late. I can never forgive myself for my mistake of not taking the right decision. I was so stressed about that vet. I went to some other vets to consult, but I don't know why I couldn’t trust them and why I didn’t have the courage to change the vet. My friend who studied veterinary she suggested this vet and said he was good. I trusted her.
I was away from Kutush for last 2 years. I Went to study abroad. It was scary for me to leave him behind. But I visited him twice a year. My sister was in charge. But she ignored some clear symptoms few months before I returned home permanently. Even my parents didn’t inform me. I'm very angry on my sister because of this. I don’t know if I can ever forgive her.
Kutush was my life. I loved him so much. He was my no. 1 priority always. Among bad animal treatment facility here, I raised Kutush very carefully for 9 years. I don’t know why all those mistakes happened in the most crucial time of his life.
I'm having hard time to accept that he is no more and he had to go through those terrible suffering.
I have no friend or relative who has a pet and will Understand my pain. There is no community here to share my grief with. I'm in a terrible mental condition right now. The grief comes and goes. I feel alone and scared. I couldn’t do any of my personal work for the past 3 months from the time of his diagnosis. Yet can't.
Just lost my baby girl Ronda … it’s so painful that I’m dying inside 😢 the most excruciating pain I have ever felt..but I know someday I’ll see her again ❤
We just put our 14 year old shih tzu to sleep. He seemed off and brought him to the vet. X-rays showed tumors on his spleen and liver. His spleen could have ruptured. We had to do what was best for our buddy. My husband and I are in our late 60’s. He was the last one who needed us and that we cared for. We feel so lost, and miss him. He was a little character that made us enjoy life.
I just lost my Bentley....18 years of SUNSHINE...The Shizu are a one of a kind little package ....They are very special special creations ...I Tell ya. Very special..I can identify with your sorrow today...heartbroken to the zillionth power!...he sat with us in our family meetings and I would let him be the Judge....he ate dinner with us he ALLWAYS got his dinner cooked separately than ours of course and boy my little man could throw down!...He loved Steakie nights which were ALOT at our house ...
I am missing him so tottally and I just can't wrap my head around these emotions....God has an end game for all this I know he does .. !
@@orsumbunnygottahelp I am so sorry. I understand your pain. ❤️🩹
@@patzumach3425 This is one time when I can say..
."I know you do" 💕..
Most painfull most heartbreaking most awful thing...
I'm lost and broken!....
Thanks for your support and caring...it's so final...and I can't wait to see his little self again...! I know he misses me I miss him so much he should be right here getting his love! I'll miss him till I get there.!
I had the same kind of dog.he started having g seizures and vet said he probably had a brain tumor.after last seizure she told me to put him down.i couldnt.for 2 weeks I syringe fed and water him.he couldn't move his legs at all.he played and peed on psts.i would use baby wipes to clean him I bathe him every 3 days.he lifted head but that's all.he wouldn't drink on his own. Finally I said this is not fair
I went to put him down
The vet stuck needle in paw he screamed and fought I cried so hard.i wish I never done that.i cry every day most off and on.i miss him so much!
Thank you for making this video. I'm a few days out from the loss of my soulmate, Nash. I feel compelled to binge grief videos and podcasts, it feels good to know others feel the way I do.
You are never alone and I'm sending you strength for you and Nash.
I’ve been doing the same. I can say it helps. I’ll talk all the help I can get because my life has forever been changed. I feel disconnected. I Miss my baby girl so much just crying typing this. This pain is so deep.
I'm also a few days since my beloved dog Carson had to be put down at 10 1/2 years as her liver shut down. I'm also bingeging grief videos and realized all of us are shattered, heartbroken, and suffering from excruciating grief. Non stop crying, not sleeping or eating are common comments. There better be dogs in heaven. May God have mercy on all of us "dog people" as we try to live with the worst pain we will ever feel.
@@johnignatowicz441yes you are right. It is the worst grief. So sorry for your loss. I lost my soul mate in January. Wish I could have done more to save her.
I relate to the story of Gus so much. I've had my dog Chewie since I was 23. He's been through so many of my heartbreaks, big moments, and moves with me. He has dementia and my vet and I have decided it is time for me to let him go. I'll be saying my goodbyes on Tuesday. I have my partner of 6 years to mourn with, but this is the hardest decision I have ever had to make and I am 35. I don't want to do it, but it is for him and not me, and I have to remember that. He is a rescue and was put up for adoption as a "senior" dog. I saved him and he saved me.
Bless you❤
2 weeks ago my Benjamin crossed the rainbow bridge he was 12 years old with severe kidney failure I've had him for 10 years this has been the hardest loss I've ever been faced with my life just isn't the same without him, my heart is broken 💔😢 he was the best dog in the whole world he touched alot of lives everyone who came into contact with him loved him very much he was a gentleman very sweet loved everyone , I miss him so much 😢😢💔💔💔
My cat gained his heavenly December 31st 2022. Marty was 20 years and eight months old. He had an incredible will to be here with me we had such a wonderful bond that words can't describe. He had stage 4 kidney they told me that he wouldn't live past October 2021. My beautiful cat Marty is here with me another fourteen months. I did everything that I could do for him Sub-Q fluids nausea medications special KD food kidney support gold CBD oil and vitamin B12 he did everything I asked ask of him. He was my best friend he was my PTSD support cat we're together most all the time. I used to tell him he was my very heart.
In 2018I lost my cat Tigger to stage 4 kidney failure three weeks later Marty was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney failure. Thank you for the video very sorry for the loss of your dog. My heart goes out to you God bless our beautiful angels
So sorry for your loss ❤❤❤
I had to put my cat down yesterday. She was only eight years old. The grief is absolutely horrible. I literally hate my house everything I see reminds me of her and it feels so empty without her. she was perfectly healthy up to about three weeks ago, and she got a rapid spreading form of lymphoma. and she was the sweetest little thing. she loved everybody in my house, even my Doberman that didn’t really like her that much. She would do her best to try and lay by him. all I can say is daddy misses you Nina. you will always be my favorite little cat.
So sorry, l know how you feel about every single thing you see reminding you of your cat. It’s so painful !
My dog Oliver…yesterday a work truck hit him and he screamed ran right to me laid down at my feet I started praying over him over and then his heart stopped beating
I did this and the Shame and guilt is insurmountable
I took my other dogs best friend away
my kid’s joy
And the PERFECT PIECE that made this a family die
I have never in my entire life ever ever felt this kind of depression this deep sorrow
I am at my absolute lowest of lows
I can't even breathe
My family is completely wrecked.. none of us can get out of bed or stop from weeping I won’t be at work this week I can’t go in
My poor dog Marley is is just searching and searching and search for his best friend he won’t eat he won’t rest
My family is NOT FUNCTIONING… and we are deep in sorrow. I know that is a lot.. I just don’t know what to do .. I need time I need to be able to BREATHE. I feel like I can’t breathe and we are not okay
😢
The silence is what's killing me the most inside. Especially at night when my Rowdy Boy isn't on the bed next to me. Recently lost my boy at 12 years old and I had him since he was 5 weeks old. I lost my son not a dog 💔😞
I've never felt so lost and empty in my life as I have these past 2 months without him.
I’m so sorry got your loss. Is that him on the picture? Xx💞💐
So sorry for your loss xxx💐💞
I truly believe u when say ur son. I couldn't have love a human child more than I loved Sugar Bear. My heart goes out to u.
I lost my beautiful Cocker Spaniel boy what will have been 2 years ago this July 4 th . The pain is still very real as ever! Just different degrees. But no less real . I still can’t bring myself to watch videos of him , and don’t know if I’ll ever be able to. I miss him every waking moment of every day. My world has lost the light and laughter without him by my side.
Crying 😢 right now. I miss my girl so much. She was my preencis. (Princess).
You're a good person helping other people in this way.
Its so true. The pain is worse to me. The loss is a dark canyon of sadness
Sending you healing thoughts and energy. I hope this video gave you a little peace during this time.
Just lost my 19 year old cat Honeybun🌈- kidney issues and a cancer in the liver/ spleen. I’m so sad and I can’t explain it to my ginger kitty, who was bonded with her. ❤
One can read all the comments written at any time, yet they are only sourced when the same tragedy visits you.
Have never experienced such excruciating pain. My little Bobbie, such a loyal, friendly cat. Taken suddenly at four years old.
Having seen all your comments about the fact one never recovers from the loss, a lifetime of hurt lies ahead.
Just want the little lad back so badly, his black and white fur.
Made the difficult choice to have my beloved Shetland sheepdog (shasta) put to sleep this last Saturday. She was my best friend and companion. In the last 1.5 years I've lost my wife,son and brother.,so shasta was the only constant in life of late that helped keep me going.i know she's in a better pain-free place now..
Dog's are God's gift to us to help experience what true devotion and unconditional love is like ..
Sorry for your losses I put my dog down Tuesday. I miss my best friend.
@@mikeiyc sorry for your loss.,
Take care to remember the happy, good times...
So sorry for all those losses. I can't imagine how painful it must be. I am only grieving losing my dog and it has been almost unbearable at times. I hope you can eventually find love again furry or human😊
I just lost my dog Bandit yesterday. I can’t stop crying or sleeping. I loved him so very much.
🐩🐾🐾💙 Miss u My baby boy, Murci Bear. Miss you! Thank you for being my baby ✨
My heart still aches for a Dobie I lost over 36 years ago. She was a once in a lifetime friend & companion. I've had numerous pets since then - some more dear than others. But I know, if there's a Rainbow 🌈 Bridge, Red Lady will be leading all of them to meet met when I arrive! She still owns my heart. ❤
Sending you so much love and healing for your loss of Red Lady. I hope all the warm memories help heal your heart❤
The best thing i get here is teading the comments and knowing that i am notcalone. That many humans are feeling the horrible grief of losing our friend. I have been through this before both cats and dogs and it is so awful, yes the emptiness in the house, the silence, the toys and bowls around. I guess this is the price of the greatest love i have ever known.
I'm so glad I found this video, it couldn't have come at a better time. I so needed to hear this. I just lost my dog suddenly and it hurts so bad. The silence in the house is deafening and I work from home. I feel so empty and lost without him. We were together 24/7. I loved taking care of him and having his unconditional love.
l know how you feel. It was the same with me and my dog. I think maybe because the love we have for them is so easy to give, the depth of it isn’t realized until they are gone. 😢❤
I lost my beautiful 7 year old cat in an accident last week . I can't stop crying and although I always new I loved him loads. I was certainly never prepared for the loss and pain and grief I am now going through. He was such a character and I miss him loads God bless him. 🤗😢🙏💫🌈
Sending you so much love and healing energy. Losing our babies suddenly is very difficult. I hope all the warm memories help heal your heart and we are thinking of you during this difficult time❤️
@@thenaturalpetdoctor thankyou for your kind words. This helps me a lot bless you. 🤗💫
I had 5 dogs three weeks ago I lost my old girl she was ready to go and I had to make the decision to let her go peacefully. She was amazing little girl I miss her terribly! I also have one girl I rescued she’s 10 then 3 collies mum son and daughter each and everyone I love with my heart. Yesterday broke my heart into pieces of a million pieces! My lad Ozzie started to have a breathing problem I’m a healer I did healing and they told me it was his heart he was rushed to the emergency vets there was fluid on his heart and adomen he had tests and they opened him up he have a cancer tumour growing into his heart. He’s never had a days illness in all of this 10 years of life I was there for the birth he was the most beautiful amazing dog I have ever had the lost I feel is so painful. I know when the time is right he will return to me his mum also is at the end of her days she’s 15 now and losing her back end and although for now she has a good quality of life I know it will not be long before I have to say goodbye. I’m lost and heartbroken and I wished at this moment I could join .
I'm a vet and I lost my 10 weeks old brussels puppy this morning to parvo. I have never seen a dog go from doing fine today and overnight pretty much lifeless. I feel so guilty for not catching on right away last night what was going on . I am sure he went septic. He had already had 2 vaccines and well cared for. I am a mess today .
so sorry :( the same happened to be years ago - we just got this beautiful puppy and it suddenly hit us. Parvo is no joke. We were devastated.
I am thankful I have my 2 other dogs and 2 cats . They know I’m so upset and are doing their best to comfort me.
Thanks for posting this to youtube, it's really helpful and healing
My little shih tzu Toby passed away only four days ago age 11 due to liver cancer, the pain is unbearable, I can’t describe how much I miss him, people keep telling me it will get easier over time, I hope it does, I just feel lost without him.

Thank you. I just lost my beloved Tattoo..my heart, my soul, my sun. Tattoo left me on February 16th, 2023 at 5:45, and I can't imagine life without him, and yet here I am, being forced to live without him. I'm grateful for the memories, but I hurt at the amount of memories that we could have built and will never have the chance to do so. I don't know how to get over this loss...this one hit home as I was also diagnosed with what Tattoo had, and I had to end his suffering while mine is continuing.
Praying for you
I lost my best friend Scrapy on 04-20-22, she was my life,
😢😢 first I lost my best cousin, then my old man (Dad) then my best friend of 30 year's, now loosing my best friend that was with me through the worst time my little dog's chucho and Bella 😢all with in 3 year's.😢 Thank you doc for this video 🙏🏼
Hi Randy, I'm sorry to hear of your recent losses. I hope this video was helpful for you during this time.
@@thenaturalpetdoctor 🙏🏼 you and your family stay 🙏🏼 and safe .
My beloved Alfie passed 3 weeks ago, and my heart is broken. I'm experiencing waves of intense grief, and he's never out of my thoughts.....thank you very much for this video 😢
My fur baby boy Jimmy died last year on the 30th of December 2020 at the vet hospital. He's 13 years old. It was so tragic and traumatic to see him die. He brought so much happiness into our life but to watch him die at the hospital devastating and painful. Today's his birthday would have turned 14.
He's no longer suffering and is in peace and in bliss. Hopefully you now focus on the good memories of him.
@@judeguillen5328 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. It's not fair for him die for the mistakes we make.
I'm grieving for my 11 year old lab Winston who passed on Monday afternoon. He was my pal for 11 years. He was always by my side. I am devastated by this loss. I feel paralyzed. Many tears and sobbing. I feel such a profound and overwhelming loss.
My buddy boy. My baby. My best Friend Franklin passed away yesterday. It was sudden and he was 12. I am completely shattered. I lost my 20 year old Jack Russel 2 years ago, and now I own no dogs at all. It’s awful. It’s devastating. I don’t even know what to do. I feel this pain so deep.
I never felt I owned my precious pet, more like she owned me.
When I was a young adult and had two boys who were from the same litter, and one died, I didn't think to let his brother see him. BIG MISTAKE. He looked for him every time he went out. That heartbreaking lesson taught me that when I have to give one of my furry kids back to the Lord, they ALL go to the final appointment to say goodbye and see it happen. It's hard enough losing one without dealing with the remaining ones looking for their beloved mates. Always do this. Believe me, the only thing worse than the crushing grief of loss is watching the baby you have left look for his or her best friend who is never coming home from the vet's again. Time doesn't heal this hurt, but eventually, your tears will lessen. God bless all the pet parents hurting over this tremendous loss. Just lost a truly special girl yesterday. It never gets easier, but the love and laughter they give makes it worth the pain of losing them. Can't imagine life without furry kids!
Thank you… it’s almost 4 months since I lost my beloved Benjy of 13 years. It breaks my heart coming home and not seeing him happy jumping to greet me at the door. His brother was barking and waiting. Took sometime but he is getting better now. Our therapy walks and car rides seems to help him.
I am going through this grief alone. Not all understand pet loss. A family lost her pet almost 10 years ago and she forgot the grief she went through. Turns out she judged me for being “unstable” grieving the loss of my beloved friend…
It’s been 28 days today since our Vivi passed on her own terms in our home with my husband and I by her side. She passed of kidney disease within two months after finding out of her diagnosis. She was with us since 10 weeks young and passed at 11 years and 4 months old. She was here for everything including the birth of her two human brothers. She was their very best friend. We all miss her and what you say about the silence in the home after a dog has passed is something we are really feeling. Her absence in our home is greatly felt. Our sweet Violet aka Vivi, we love you. 💜🐾🪽
My boy Nic was diagnosed with bladder cancer and my vet has him on two meds plus a pain medication. I’ve been crying ever since.
I miss my pal marco. Im heartbroken. He was the best little dog in the world. He loved his treats and i loved making him happy. Rest in peace buddy. I loved you more than you could have ever known .
I’m so lost. I’ve never been this heartbroken. This pain so deep.
What's your baby's name?
This is one of the most amazing podcasts I have watched, I have just lost my baby cat , the only little thing that loved and showed me love.
I just lost my soul dog, Chance (chancey pants, the banana). He lived a really good and strong year after receiving a pretty bad prognosis, and that was because of things I did to help him. We used turkey tail mushroom, CBD oil, yunnan baiyao and I switched him to farmers dog food. I am a an empty mess right now. My vet said Chance has shown them more care options that they will now use in those scenarios where there are no other treatment options and I am so proud that he gets to help others. Thanks for this video. It’s still helping people.
Hi Jamie,
Thanks so much for sharing your message. I'm sorry to hear of your recent loss but love that Chance and you were able to help educate and encourage a better way of treating other animals. I'm glad you found this video helpful during this time.
When u say empty mess yes that's it. All alone. Like who will truly love u now. I know these feelings and my heart goes out to u.
I lost my pet cockatiel yesterday... i don't have a garden so I went to a park, found a beautiful spot and buried her there... i haven't stopped crying since... when I felt lonely, she gave me comfort. Now she's gone, that feeling of loneliness is magnified by a million... 😭😥💔
I'm sorry to hear of your recent loss. I hope you found some comfort in this video. Thank you for watching.
I loved my little girl Millie so much. Though we have had many pets thru our lives & all were special to us in different ways I guess time heals. Millie passed 4 months ago. Her passing was not a peaceful event like one hopes. Millie had a very rare kidney sarcoma. It was diagnosed 6 months prior to her death It was inoperable, aggressive & grew large in her tummy. She was a chihuahua mix.The sadness in her eyes told me time was short. The day came I dreaded & because Millie had dramatic weight loss the anaesthetic the vet gave was excruciatingly painful for her. The examination prior was too as when the vet felt & tried to determine the size of the tumour it hurt her so much. Then the final injection came & the lights went out in her eyes. I felt or at least I wished I could die myself. We both loved her so much & saved her from an awful life, she gave us so much love & helped my husband & I through so much, being made redundant, my husbands diagnosis of kennedys disease & mtx prostate cancer. Now I feel totally lost & alone. Even though we got 2 new puppies after her passing it did not heal the loss. I miss her everyday.
I lost my best friend a few days ago.
I love him and the lose of Rocky is killing me.
Thank you for the very kind words you are sharing during this extremely difficult time.
Thank you for sharing. You have no idea what this means to my wife and I. Everything you discussed validated what we are feeling and going through. We had to put down our little boy yesterday after a long bout with anal tumor cancer. We gave Vinnie everything that could possibly be done. Surgery, chemo, meds, special diet. Nothing could stop this terrible illness from taking our little boys life. The emotional pain from losing him is excruciating. My wife is doing better today but I'm feeling like life has no meaning. I haven't eaten in 2 days and have no desire to. The uncontrollable sobbing is nothing I have ever experienced. Everywhere I look I see our little boy although he is gone. I can't see life without him.. please pain, stop..
I'm so sorry for your loss and your pain. I just had to do the same with my beloved little Minni 4 days ago, after a four year battle with Cushings Disease. Like y'all I did everything I absolutely could do to slow the progression of that cursed disease and keep her feeling good enough to enjoy her little life. I was focused on her so much during these years that I was mostly unaware of how traumatized I was as each sign of it's progression presented itself and a sense of dread was building. I feel it now. I also didn't realize how much her medicine schedule and needs had slowly and truly shaped my life and my days. I didn't mind though--but now that schedule is still with me in habit, but she is not. Like you I expect to see her everywhere. It's like a hundred times a day I have to remember she's gone.
Not only can I not see life without her, I don't want to.
I know that while we will always feel the pain of this loss, the other feelings are temporary and a symptom of the shock and even denial stage of the grief. That's what I hope you realize too. Your appetite will return, you will begin to enjoy your life again when you heal, and you will be able to smile and laugh over the good memories and the blessings he brought for which you are grateful. For now, there's nothing to be done for this, but feel it and share your feelings with trusted loved ones as much as you need to. God bless you and your wife.
@@Paisleyposey I'm so sorry you have endured this as well. It is unbelievable to me the range of emotions of losing our little boy Vinnie has brought up. It has been a month now and I still am surprised how I expect to see him around the corner waiting for me as I get out of the shower. There are a million little incidences like that daily. Mornings and going to bed are the hardest. The sobbing has turned into a pervasive sadness. Thank you for taking the time to respond at length. I hope you find peace soon. They really are special endearing creatures..
@@raymondmcdonald7085 You are so right, Raymond. Nights and mornings are the hardest. It's only been 3 days for me---and I look for her everywhere, in all of her usual spots. The empty spot at the foot of the bed where she slept, her bottle of meds that I gave her twice a day---all of her cans of food, her toys--it's unbearable. I've been through this before, years ago---but it never gets easier. It's a fresh shredding of our heart. My thoughts are constantly on seeing her again someday. Hang in there--as I'm trying to do. At least we are not alone--many others understand exactly what we are feeling.
