Feeling very sad - Sad Posted: Jan 11th, 2021 - 1:02 pm
1. My ex-husband passed on December 24. I had not seen him or had contact with him for going on 40 years. We were married only six years. We had no children because he did not want any. A counselor had told me that none of my needs were being met at the time. Also, family and friends exclaimed "Good for you! What took you so long!!!" when I told them of my plans to go ahead with the divorce. Nevertheless, the current news of his passing hit me so hard! I never once dreamt that I would be grieving like this!
Sadness #2: My beloved dog, Sammy, passed this morning with the aid of the vet. He had some medical challenges. and my current husband and I could not bear to see him suffer any longer. We had him for twelve years. The grief is still fresh and intense. I have been through situations of losing pets before and I know that only time will ease this. I guess I am just hoping for a little input on what has helped others. I have already washed the two blankets that Sammy loved and plan to donate them, along with what is left of his doggie food and treats to a shelter. His 6 special toys still remain in a corner of the living room. Should I wash them up and donate them also, or would it do me any good to keep them? I am just crying when I feel like it whenever the waves of grief come over me and not trying to hide the tears at all. This is so hard!!!
