One things for sure my life will never be the same without him and am a richer person for having had him in my life.
Hi John .. you are correct, it can never be the same.. but it's not the end.. think on it as a fresh start.
I've never lost a dog in these circumstances, but I did lose my first wife and three kids .. no, not dead, but worse, they were alive but I was out of their lives.. divorced.. alone, nothing to live or work for, it was a living nightmare that only those who have experienced will understand.
I felt like it was the END .. I would have been happy to have ended it all.. even today, 24 years on, the pain can still surface but I made a new start, a new family and got down to making a new life, not because I'm strong, I'm not, but I met Jan who made me see that life was not over.
You will never forget Bruno, that is as it should be, but you must move on.. do all the things you have planned.. sitting brooding alone is the worst thing you can do ..
In time you may decide to have another dog.. but only you can decide on that ..
Chin up John... there is a big wide world to explore.. old friends to meet, new ones to make.. as already said.. only one life.. make the most of it.. it's not a dress rehearsal.
all the best mate
Jim
