My lab got hit yesterday while I has gone.?

Question

have u ever lost some animal or someone and cried so much

Answer 1

Owwwww....how compleetly horrible-that gave my chills!Heres a poem-rainbow Bridge,and hear are some support pages!

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.


This always gives me tears because i too lost my dog recently,not by a car but by hip displasia!He was the best GSD ever!

here are some pages you should really look at,and dont rus hinto getting a new dog,but if you do remeber-you arent replacing your lab,you are not refilling the whole in your heart she left,but that you are simply expanding your heart!!

Grieving the death of your dog
Sometimes it just doesn’t seem fair that our pets live such relatively short lives. For some people, losing a pet can be as difficult as the death of a relative or friend as they become such an integral part of our families and our daily lives. They are our companions, our ‘children’ and our playmates that love us unconditionally.

When a dog dies, it’s important to go through the process of mourning, just as you would for a human relationship. Though some people might not appreciate the depth of grief that you feel for your dog, you mustn’t let that deter you from mourning the loss of your dog. Nor should you feel you need to justify your feelings to anyone.

Talk with people who will understand your loss
If you don’t have anyone close to you that will provide validation for your pain, your veterinarian can often be a good source. He or she may be able to put you in touch with a pet grief support group or know of veterinary bereavement counselors in your area. You can also find comfort from professional counselors or clergy.

While it may be difficult at first to think of anything positive coming from your dog’s death, it truly is an opportunity for emotional growth. Having such a special relationship in your life allowed you to experience unconditional love that will continue long after your dog is gone. You should also take comfort in knowing how much value you added to your dog’s life, and how much your dog’s life was enriched by the time he spent with you.

Explaining your dog’s death to a child
You may be hesitant to tell your child about your dog’s death, preferring to shield him or her from emotional pain. However, you may be surprised to learn that children can deal with it fairly well if it’s explained in an honest, straightforward manner. Children will be able to resolve their grief over the loss of a pet more easily if they are told the truth.

One term you should avoid using is “put to sleep”. A child might misinterpret the meaning of this, and be afraid of going to bed. It’s also not recommend that you tell a child that "God has taken" their dog, as the child might become confused and angry that God would do something that would cause them pain. Simply explain that all living things must come to an end, and unfortunately, pets don’t live as long as we do and allow them to express their grief. It may also help the grieving process to reflect on all the wonderful times your family had with your dog, and encourage your child to share their favorite memories.

p.s.-here is somthing from chicken soup for the pet lovers soul"Pets dont live as long as we do-we are put here to learn to love and care-they already know how to do so-so they dont have to stay as long as we"said a 3year old!

Answer 2

Oh, I'm so sorry. You should see if there is a pet loss support group in your area. Maybe there is even a support message board online. That's a terrible thing to go through and it's normal to cry a lot. You should probably take a day off from school or work and just relax today.
Maybe you can organize your pictures of your lab into a photo album or something.
I'm sure it'll be better over time, and later on maybe a new dog will be a great friend for you, too.
Take care xoxoxo

Answer 3

Yes- I do know exactly how you are feeling. I HAD to do it, I didnt have a choice......Look into my profile for my question "Can someone make me feel better?" I am still in tremendous grief, but I know I did what was right. It will take TIME & I will say a prayer for you. Your pet is in Heaven waiting for you. There is nothing I can say that will take the pain away right now. If you have a Bible read Psalm23. The only comfort I really have is that I am sure God is in charge. I am so sorry for your loss. My cat was my "child". I am going to memorialize him somehow. My prayers & thoughts are with you.BIG HUG!!! Elayne P.S.- My cat & your dog are probably playing together. They needed each other until we go Home.GOD bless you.

Answer 5

my dog was hit by a car and survived; unfortunately, this caused some problems to his vital organs which killed him some years later. also (don't laugh!) when i was a child i had a lamb as pet - a new one every summer - and no, my name is not Mary. so, one year it was hit by a car.... terrible experience, bcs it didnt die and the vet said that it would not get well... so, my grandpa had to kill it (and my grandma made a delicious roast.... of course, i didnt even try it but it smelled great) so, yes, i know what you are going through. dont rush into getting a new one, you have to get over the whole situation, because otherwise you will never love your new one....

Answer 6

Yes! I lost my best kitty about 2 weeks ago....the day before my wedding. I cried so much that I couldnt cry anymore. I had to put him down. He was so very sick. It wasn't so much a hard decision, as he was almost 9 and he was so sick and miserable. But it was very sad.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Answer 7

Yes, it hurts very much. It's like a family member died.

You will always have beautiful memories of your dog, after you have gone through the grieving process. I still think about my dog 20 years later. I never got completely over it.

Answer 8

Sorry for your loss...this is a good lesson for others to keep their dogs safe (in a pen or in the house) while gone. You just never know what can happen.

Answer 9

I just found out about two dogs who were owned by very irresponsible and stupid people and have frozen outside while the temperatures were way below freezing.
It broke my heart.

Answer 10

yes i've lost many animals, thankfully none got hit. most died by old age, but it was painful to hear they died. except one time my dog got to my guinea pigs and bit one of them, three days later we put it down...

my sympathy goes to you. i am so sorry to hear about your lab. if you eve want to get a new one, please adopt though, they need hoes bad. once again i am sorry to hear about your dog,i know how you feel.
