Answer 1

I'm so sorry.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe you and your family could go to a rescue or shelter and pick out another dog or pup.

If you think of your pup giving your family to this other dog, maybe it won't be so hard?

This way you are saving another life and your pup's death won't be in vain.

Once again, I'm really sorry for your loss.

Answer 2

This is one of the toughest lessons that life can teach us. I'm so sorry that your puppy died as a result of being hit by a car. Only time will be able to heal the grief you are feeling right now. Just remember this terrible incident when you decide you are ready to have another pet- keeping them safe is a big part of loving them.

Answer 3

Not really. You just need to let yourself feel sad for a while. You can speed the process up a little bit.... Write a letter to your dog and tell him how much you loved him and what a great dog he was. Write about the things that you will miss doing together now that he is gone. Cry your eyeballs out. If you release all your feelings, acknowledge them, and let yourself cry like a big baby for hours, that should cry you out and you won't lose it in school.

My grandfather died and I didn't want to cry in front of my mom and my grandmother (I wanted to be strong), so that's what I did. I cried every last tear I had before I went to their house. By then, I didn't have one drop left in me for tears. I still felt sad, but at least I didn't totally lose it.

Answer 4

So sorry Isabel, but grieving takes time - you wouldn't be a very nice person if you could have such a loss and just carry on as if nothing had happened. You will get upset, just tell people straight - my dog died and I can't talk about it. People will understand - if they don't, they are not worth knowing.
You will feel better, but it will take time

Answer 5

OHHHH you poor thing! I would be the same way, my dog is pretty much my best freind. Theres nothing you can do to cope with it easier, it will just take its course. It will be rough, but it will get better. My moms dog of 14 years just passed away a few months ago and she still crys. He went everywhere with her even to work. But maybe its like some above me said, God does things for a reason and maybe another puppy needs your love and you to help them out of a shelter! Shelter puppies are the best!

Answer 6

I'm really sorry. You obviously had a close relationship and it must be a hard time for you right now.
All the same, your life has to go on.
You're going to need time to mourn for your dog. Don't deny yourself that. At the same time, though, you can't miss out on stuff like school.
Go to school tomorrow and focus on being there. Try not to think about your dog while you're there. Chat to your friends (And ask them about their news, too - try not to focus too much on your dog, or you won't find it so easy to get through), get absorbed in learning stuff and when you find yourself thinking about your dog, remember you'll have time outside school to do all that grieving. So, basically try to distract yourself for those few hours. Then when you get home, allow yourself to get it all out - and go through all the emotions you're going to be feeling. This'll take a while. Don't force yourself to feel better too quickly in your private time.
Gradually you'll find yourself thinking about your dog less and less, and it'll be happy memories. It is sad, but it's not worth getting behind in your education over - there's plenty of time for thinking about both. Don't allow it to become an excuse to take time off school.
All the very best to you. I really feel for you, but as other people here have said, dealing with the loss of a pet is useful for later life. And, at the end of the day, pets and people are going to go away. We have to find ways of dealing.

Answer 7

I'm so sorry about your puppy, Isabel! The same thing happened to one of my former neighbors, some years ago.

No matter what, you're going to hurt and you're going to miss your puppy. It's all right to cry: Go ahead and do it.

Do you have any pictures of him? If you do, put together a scrap book. Go ahead and write about it, if you want to. If you have a place, plant a tree or some flowers for your dog. That's what we did for a lot of our family pets.

You're going to need something soothing in the morning. If you have it, try a nice chamomile tea with honey.

Feel better, Sweetheart.

Answer 8

I'm so sorry. That's terrible. There isn't an easy way to handle this. It's ok and definitely acceptable for you to be upset. Don't be so hard on yourself. Time is the answer. Give yourself time. You can try to focus on school and the game but don't force yourself. It's not healthy.

Answer 9

Im so sorry!! It will get better over time.You are going to miss your puppy for awhile talk to your friends and family about it. Dont hold it in. Just think of what you learned with this experiance for the next time. I wouldnt get another puppy to replace that one, that what i personally think. I think over time itll be ok. Maybe you can volinteer at a local shelter.

Answer 10

I am so sorry to hear this. You could tryand explain to your teacher and hopefully they will understand. Think of all your happy moments together especially the funny ones so when you feel sad just thing of those funny ones and you can find yourself letting out a little giggle. You shouldn't feel that you are laughing at their death because you are not, you are trying to get over it.

Sorry to hear this and hope you feel better soon.

I lost a dog very sudden and I used this way of geting over it. I still think of him with lots of joy!
