While I understand that it is difficult to lose a pet, it is NOTHING like losing a human being.
I'll disagree....to an extent.
If you're talking about a wife/husband or child absolutely.
It's all about degrees of association. I cry like a baby when my Dogs die,yet I only get a little melancholy when relatives I rarely see die.
Okay, I should have said your child. The WORST thing that could ever happened to a person. You are left a tortured soul forever.
I cant imagine the grief if the Wife were to Die......
Yet I also Cant imagine the Grief my Wife would feel if I went first.
It's a hard choice but I hope she dies first so she wont have to go through the loss,as weird as that sounds.
Neither of us can imagine life without the other and we're only in our early fifties.
I haven't experienced that, but I have lost my child and my father and others and I don't think anything compares to the devastation of losing a child. You go into shock. I think I was in shock for a good 6 months. Then the realization that you will never see your child again, never see him smile, never hear his voice or laughter, never see him become an adult, not to mention all of the losses for him. It's like losing a piece of yourself. You don't get over it and move it. You just learn to accept it and to live with it.
That has to be horrible and I'll put you in my Prayers.
I lost my Father at 16 but no one should see their children die.
