No, I don't.
Pets and people die. Its a relatively common occurance during the course of human history.
The living do not "often" express their grief with suicide. When they do, particularly months afterward, it is abnormal.
Get Help.
Wrong. I looked up "suicidal ideation" on Wolfsister's advice, and look at this statement I found:
The most common situations or life events that might cause suicidal thoughts are grief, sexual abuse, financial problems, remorse, rejection, relationship breakup and unemployment.
Notice the first item on the list? GRIEF? Where I think you're having a problem is that you can't imagine someone still grieving so strong for A DOG when it's approaching five months after her death.
This is the problem with taking advice on a message board: You found a statement that seems to justify your behaviour, and now you want to dispute wether or not it is normal. Additionally, you really aren't seeking help, you are seeking attention: The goal of the OP omission that the gun was holstered; the baiting of individuals who responded to Gracie's thread; finally posting the picture of your pet. There's nothing wrong with this, but I'm sure it will disappoint some who were counting on being heroic.
Good Luck.

Actually, I did indeed think it was possible I might receive a little help from some of the members on this forum. And I did. There were many good suggestions, both publicly and in PM. Just talking about it helped.
By the way, I found another statement. It said that fleeting thoughts of suicide are actually pretty normal after the death of a loved one. Now, they're talking about someone you really, really, really love, not your Aunt Mary you met when you were 10 and haven't seen in 20 years, get it?
