Serious depression right now, dog died i just cant get him off my mind..please some advice?

I have had this dog since i was about 2 years old and now im 15 and it just died at 14 years old...im upset it crawled too me before it died and I just can't get him off my mind and i feel like i lost a brother. Dogs become such family to you, you would know if you have a dog.





please some advice, thanksSerious depression right now, dog died i just cant get him off my mind..please some advice?
I feel for you. I had lost a great dog and cat around your age. It鈥檚 hard for everyone who loses a pet. It does get easier with time. Cherish the times you spent together. And know that he/she is in doggie heaven.





Maybe with due time, you will be able to get another pet, so you can create great memories with that animal, too. I know it hurts that pets die young. But, in a way, it allows another pet to have a family. There are so many stray and abandoned pets that need love, too.Serious depression right now, dog died i just cant get him off my mind..please some advice?
Death is sad when it's someone you love. I suggest that you have a funeral of some kind. It doesn't have to be big or even involve anyone other than yourself. Funerals are, in one way, a time to say goodbye, a time to let go. Others being there give support, and if you feel that you could use that, I suggest you talk to someone who will take you seriously and consider being at a funeral for your dog. Then, for the funeral, I'd recommend some pictures of your dog and some time to talk about feelings and memories. But, if you're not into the funeral idea, do something else, some sort of ritual to let go. Don't expect it to miraculously change anything. You might need to just be OK with being sad for a while.
It's totally normal to feel this way because yes pets do become part of the family and very close to us. The good news is that you gave your dog a great life and lots of happy memories and nobody can ever take that away. Eventually you will go out and find a little puppy that you can share that same love with and you will realize that the circle of life can be a pretty amazing and beautiful thing.
Just last year I lost two dogs. I didn't have them near as long as you had your dog, but I took it really hard when they died. My advice to you is getting another dog with the same traits and personality. At first it will seem like it only reminds you of your dog that died, but soon you bond to the new dog (because of his personality) and it helps you get over the loss. I know because that's what I did.
Such a sad thing to lose a beloved family pet. Most people have this experience at some point in their lives. Remember the fun times and don't avoid thinking or talking about yur dog. It helps to reconcile yourself to his passing. Spend time with your friends, doing things you enjoy. If you are feeling blue, talk to someone or just spend a bit of time reminiscing. Only time will heal some of the loss you feel. Keep a nice photo of your dog where you can see it.
i lost my beautiful dog when i was about 12, he was like 14, it wrenched my heart forever.





His name was Tommy, he was my best friend and playmate and came to school with me and was so protective. I never got over it and i can never bring myself to get another dog because i couldn't bear to lose one. It is still hard to bear it and i miss him so much ..





Hope you can slowly find peace and when you are ready get a puppy.
I can relate to your story. Unfortunately we all remember our pets the way they passed on, which is never a pleasant image after all the joy they gave us. The best thing to do is to think of all the times it made you happy, all the times he ran to you, all the times he bolted around the house. Yes you will cry a little but those tears are not how he went but how he touched your life.
What you need to do is to know that the dog was even there, and that is in a much better place. Trust me I have had some bad times with pets as well, and of course you had him for so long, but try and slowly get out of the grief.
Aw, I'm sorry! I don't know how it feels personally, but it must be really tough.


I think you should go hang out with friends. Do something that requires some concentration, like sport or something, that'll help, I think.
I'm not sure where you live, but the Humane Society in my jurisdiction has a pet loss support group. You could always look for something like that in your area...





Sorry for your loss.
that is normal. You'll get over it soon. Don't rush the process of grieving.
