I lost Fletch today - a totally out the blue 'illness'

[Helen]

oh hel, there's no time limit on grief....and it affects everyone in different ways.

there was truly nothing you could do for fletch, your decision was the bravest and most loving thing to do for him so don't doubt or blame yourself.

it will take time to get over this so be easy on yourself

thinking of you

I am so sad for your sudden loss. There is nothing as devastating as losing a loved cocker so unexpectedly. You must be beside yourself! Take what little comfort you can from the fact that he was so loved and so well looked after, right up til the last.

 My thoughts are with you at this sad time. Time is a healer, but the memory of fletch will never fade... He was your baby and he will be looking down protecting you always!

I'm not getting over this very well.  A week today he was fine.  I'm either in shock or I just can't stop crying.  It's just not fair

Harmy's been gone for over 2 months now, but I still burst into tears when I think of him...and that has happened in Tesco its horrible, but our love for our best friends is so deep and to lose them so quickly it is very hard to take on board. I am now starting to feel stronger, so hopefully am turning the corner, it has affected my work and college and I may have to take an extra year to qualify now,but the shock just knocked me over emotionally and physically.
 I take comfort from the fact that I knew my family and I gave Harmy a pretty wonderful life and he adored us in return...and then I smile

I found this the other day:

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

That is beautiful

You're still in my thoughts, Hel

Thanks very much Mary.  That has actually helped my head quite a bit.

I've just caught up with this thread and wanted to say that I am so sorry. I can't begin to imagine how you're feeling - but time is a good healer. Just take it one day at a time.
