Hard To Move On

[OnlySunshine]

I know I've posted several status updates the last few days about losing my dog but I'd like to post here.  I really need prayers for me and my family.  Our dog was with us 14 years so it's incredibly difficult thinking we won't see her until we get to heaven.  I know animals have material souls but I believe that Jesus shows us the people and animals that were important to us during our time on earth.  Otherwise, it wouldn't be heaven.  I miss her so much it hurts.  Most of the time, I'm fine but then I see pet stuff in a store or think about how I used to give her medicine everyday at 2pm and that's when I break down.  To go from caring for her 24/7 to nothing is almost unbearable.  Especially since I've been caring for her during the day the last few years.  Though she mostly slept, it was nice having her here.  I miss being able to stroke her baby soft fur or hold her paw (which she loved).  I made sure I held her paw when she gently fell asleep for the last time.  It's very hard to be able to even go by the vet clinic or see her unopened dog food cans in the pantry.  Everything reminds me of her.  No dog will be able to replace her.  :sad:
