How do I get through this?? I'm so hurt

I've had a beautiful dog named Cyrus for 12 years. Tonight we went out and he was outside and for whatever reason jumped the fence with his lead on. He hung himself. We came home to a nightmare come true. My dearest buddy is dead. I'm destroyed inside, I love that dog with all my heart and he's gone.

Every part of me wants to numb myself. I know I can't but God this pain is torture. 12 years together to end like this?? Life is cruel.

My 8 1/2 year old black lab, Chopper, was put to sleep back in May and he has joined Cyrus, Sara's girl, Ang's lab, Lesa's dog.  I'm so sorry StrongWoman (that's what I am calling you now as you know).  It hurts, this is life, this is the life we didn't deal with when we took pills.  Let yourself hurt, grieve.  I'm so sorry for this loss.

Hey!  Did you sleep?

I'll tell you what I did: When I lost 4 of those dogs it was over a 3 month period and ALL for different reasons. It was really hard and I don't have to tell you that I felt punished...I ended up with just my one dog, little "Smokey". He was so lonley!  A month later I bought a chocolate lab who was so tiny and new I had to rock her all day and night!!  They're sitting here now, in the "big chair", and I let them!!  

It gets better Sweetie-

Thank you so so much. I am picturing him roaming and playing freely and happily with all our best buddies. The way he was.

There are so many memories, he was an amazing dog, a big beautiful blue eyed dog with a heart of gold. I'm gonna miss my Cy-guy. That's what his nickname was. Rest in peace Cyrus, I love you forever. Thank you to everyone who replied. I don't feel so alone and really appreciate the prayers and healing energy. I'm trying to sleep but it's hard.

This is the saddest part about being a pet owner...

I love what Sara said about Rainbow Bridge: that's where the whole gang is now!  Adding to the above, there's my group:  Matthew,Molly,Mole',Chief,Comet,and Zephyr. Cyrus is in great company,believe me!

It gets easier but we don't forget...

Try to sleep tonight...I feel so sad for you...just crawl into bed and cry. You have to.             Big hug!  Vicki
