I'm sorry for your loss too chidogs.
Woof, is this a weekly ritual of lighting the candles? It makes me feel better to know that we're all going through this together and burning the candles last night for Isis and the other pets made me feel like I was doing something for not only myself but for others too.

Yes, it is a weekly ritual. You can read about it on petloss [dot] com. I like to set aside the time as a place for me to remember my dog, say a prayer and look at pictures of her.

Default what a great thing to do!

Woofers, I think that is so neat - I will join the candle lighting next week.

Great way to remember & honor our best friends & family members.

I went to the pet store yesterday to get my other dog a kong toy and in walk these 2 black labs. (Isis was a mixed breed but she looks like a black lab.)
I lost it and had to go out to the car while my s/o paid for the stuff we bought.
Black labs are so commonly seen that I'm afraid everytime I see one now, I'll start crying.
She's been at the Rainbow Bridge for almost 3 weeks now.

Songinthewind, Oh my that sounds so familiar to me. While I've yet to see a dog that resembled my nugget, I can't go to certain places. The park she loved to walk in. The Petsmart I took her to training lessons at. I drive to another Petsmart much further away if I need something. I'm agonizing over our vacation this summer! She loved our vacation, our little apt at the beach. I don't know if I can handle that. But I know how you feel, and how it can just clobber you so hard like that. (((((hugs)))))).

I sure know what you are going thru. I am going thru this with my Suzie. God bless you! It is not easy. Isis is with Suzie and all the others at the Rainbow Bridge. They will wait there for us forever! My heart goes out to you.

Does anyone know when the pain goes away? Mine passed away on 12/18. I thought I was okay but now I'm not again. I'm still very angry out how our last vet treated us. I'm writing her a letter about how disgraceful her behavior was. But it hurts because it's bring up all the pain and anger again. I can barely function...

It comes and goes. I try to keep myself busy. It is the quiet moments when I think of my Suzie and get all upset. I try to avoid those, sometimes you cannot. Late at night around bedtime is hard for me. I think of her and cry! It just takes time, not to forget about them but to accept it I guess!
