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.

Oh my...
I can't imagine coming home to that...so sorry that this happened to Cyrus, to you and your family. I imagine it was quick and that he didn't suffer. I am a major animal lover..dogs, cats..wildlife..all of them. In time you will replace this visual memory with the previous 12 years...the good stuff. I had to put my dog to sleep..he was with me for 18 yrs..my shadow. I don't think of that time in the Vets..so many memories to treasure. I'm sorry, this is a sad time..no doubt..so you will grieve ..feel the feelings..and thank Cyrus for the time he was with you.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your family member Cyrus. I have had pets all my life and they are truly our family. The pain is unbearable. Feel it and cry hysterically. Try and take deep breaths and know he wouldn't want you to beat yourself up...
Sending you healing energy.

I am so sorry this happened.  Losing a pet is a painful thing.  Their love for you and yours for them is unconditional.  It is what makes it so hard when we lose them.  

Know that he is at peace - sometimes that is the only thing that gets you though a tragedy like this.  I absolutely believe that Cyrus is in Heaven and has alot of four legged pals already.

Thank you for the support. I really need it right now. I don't want to go to sleep tonight, afraid of the dreams I'll have. This will be a day I'll never forget, a horrible place in time I wish so bad I could change. We were gone just a couple hours..and now he's gone. I can't believe this. It's really a nightmare. Just so awful to try and process it.
