Thank you for this article. This is exactly where I am. On the precipice , after losing the love of my life 4 months ago, at 12.5 y, and suddenly. Between diagnosis (he had been “not himself” a couple of days) and having to let him go, a mere 16 h.
In my 63 y on this earth, I have never felt such pain and loss. I have another dog, whom I adore but don’t share the intense bond with I had with S.
I still have a hard time talking about it (except with my husband), because this experience is so uniquely personal and because I don’t think anyone can truly understand.
I have never shared such a bond and such love with another sentient being. Maybe one day I will be able to feel just the gratitude and blessing for having had the immense privilege of having shared this immeasurable love.
