We lost Our Cocker Spaniel May 10th, We are still crushed........
Lost My Brother to cancer..............................................................
I feel Your pain.................................................................................
Now that I have tears in My eyes let Me say that things happen for a reason, truly. And You are a wonderful Person for loving One of God's creatures so much. Our Girl had heart problems, so as hard as it was, losing Her, Having Her in Our life's was SO worth it. And I'm sure You feel the same way about Your Dog. So sorry for Your loss, I know that it is a very difficult process, and People don't always help us with it. Doesn't make them any less important.
About Your Brother, again sorry to hear about this, divorce affects so many, and the Children. He isn't losing Them, He will just have to make quality time, out of the time He gets with Them.
Wow, You do have a lot on Your plate. Guess I am not helping with that whole cheering up thing. So here is a joke:
Man walks up to an older gentleman, sitting on a bench in the Park, the older gentleman is crying. The younger Man asks Sir is everything alright, can I help You with anything? The older gentlemen continues to cry, and the young Man continues to ask if He can be of assistance in anyway. The older man says, through His tears, I have a great life, a beautiful home, and gorgeous young Wife. We even have relations 4-5 times a week if I can find My little blue pills. The older gentlemen continues to cry. The younger man says Sir, If Your life is so wonderful, and You have all these good things going for You, then Sir may I ask, Why are You crying? The older gentleman wipes His face, looks at the young Man and says, because I forgot where I live............
In Memory of Ralphie May's Dad....
Hope things are brighter for You very soon, Be there for Your Brother, as I feel You will. Let the Children know how very special They still are. And I apologize if You have already heard the joke.
May God Bless Your Journey, and Your Life

Get away from the computer. Go for a nature walk and think about the good times with your dog. If you have a friend you can trust, talk to him or her about feeling down. Pray for your brother's situation and leave it in God's hands. You cannot change his situation by worrying about it. Let your brother know you care. Ask him if you can do anything to help him. Sometimes, reaching out to others can speed up the healing process in your own life.
Think about adopting a new dog from your local SPCA, but be sure and research what kind of dog will fit into your life. Getting a new dog might help, but you can never replace the dog you lost. It will always have a special place in your heart.
......and give yourself some time to heal. It WILL get better.

Unfortunately, you will not find the kind of help that you need here.
Don't you have any close friends that you can talk to ? I know how bummed you must be if it helps at all, but I am sure that it doesn't. Life is really hard sometimes, but you will get through it, and so will your brother. If you can think of anything I could really do that would cheer you up, please feel free to as. I don't know that there is much that anyone can do for you, unless they are there with you, except pray for you of course. Keep your spirits up the best you can, that will help more than anything. Good Luck!

You are going through a rough patch. Things like this happen and there is not much to do but ride them out. Things will improve over time, and really, there isn't anything you can do about your brother's divorce but be supportive. You can eventually acquire another dog which may be helpful to you in getting over the demise of your former one.

i am sorry to hear that you lost your dog. i know he must have been your best friend. but there are lots of other dogs out there needing you to become their best friend. maybe you should adopt one. i know that new dog can't replace the dog you lost, but maybe a new pup can help you feel better. that pup will give you a reason to get up and enjoy the day, again. things will get better. time heals all wounds.
as for your brother...i wish him luck. i hate to hear that he is getting a divorce. but if that relationship was harmful, he needs to get out. as for his kids, he's won't lose his kids. the courts will make sure of that. they will always have him as a dad and you as a uncle. both of you need to be strong for the kids.
i wish you luck in these changes you are having to deal with in your life. but things will work out for the better. and in the end the sun will shine and the moon will glow ....just for you.

THink about the happy side of these. When considering the first sad thing, you can be bit happy by thinking that you would be able to understend what is the life, and you would have to feel hat sadness on someday or or other. When thinking about your brother's divorce case, you can't be happy as he is loosing his kids. But, try to enjoy your self. I'll cheer you up! Good Luck! You can overcome these depresions easily. Call to your heart. Answer is there!

Go out on the down for a night. Maybe with a friend, maybe by yourself. Spend at least $50 and just have fun. Go to a movie, go to the mall, go to dinner -- whatever. I promise it'll get better! :) I'm really sorry.

Go fishing- it will help to relax you and take your mind off your problems or go to the pet store and get a ferret.
