Yesterday it made 7 months that my dad is gone. Still can't believe it. Feels like a bad nightmare. Then just last week, my cousin's dog had to be put to sleep. She was 12 years old. I saw her 2 weeks ago and she was fine. What a terrible year. Last year I lost my grandma ( Dad's mom ) and then lost my dad and my cousin's dog this year.
7 months already, Tony? I'm sure for you every day just grinds by but to those of us on this side, it sure doesn't seem like it. Sorry about your cousin's pup.
Today is 10 months since Earl passed and though the days used to stand still, they now race by. I do believe it's because GOD eased that physically hurting pain inside my chest.
Sorry for your losses. We had losses this year also. Try to focus on your loving memories. And, go get some grief counseling, it will help. Also, there are several online websites regarding grief and loss, some w/ forums to talk to others experiencing the same feelings. That will help too. Hope next year is a better year for you and your family.

LOL, Jan, I thought that's what I thought we were doing already.
I cant wait for it to end too. My girlfriend passed in Feb, her son in law a few months ago and now my girlfriend's boyfriend TODAY..Today is my brother's birthday. He passed 10 years ago. I HATE 2012.
Tony, I really do think you might benefit from grief counseling as well. Maybe talking to others to have lost a loved one might help you? Just a gentle thought. But we all grieve in different ways and with different time tables. I lost my mom 4 months ago and have been dealing with it the best way I know how. Some days are better than others.
One way I have dealt with grief is to remind myself every day, "Mom wouldn't want to see you so sad or depressed. Keep your chin up, don't have a pity party, go out and live life. This is what she would want for you." Sometimes this thought helps. Whenever I start crying, I allow myself to cry and get it out of my system, then I consciously think of something unrelated and pleasant. I work on not wallowing in sadness.
I've found that slowly letting go of grief does not mean letting go of the loved on you have lost. They live in your heart forever. Concentrate on the many wonderful memories. Don't be bitter than you'll not see them again, be happy for all the wonderful times you spent in their company. And eventually, one day... you'll wake up and feel a little better. That day may be in a week, a month, a year, or 5 years, but there's light at the end of the tunnel.
