Six years was definitely not long enough. Thank you for visiting me in my dreams and for mentoring Max! (Please try harder there-he needs a lot more help, bless his heart!) Rest in peace, my sweet, sweet boy, and thank you for all the happiness you gave us. In my heart and in my mind, we walk along the ocean still and he is whole and healthy. He was priceless to me and my time spent with him will always bring me joy, in spite of the pain of losing him too soon.Īudrey Kirchner Saying Goodbye Is So Very Hard to Do I did not love Mariah any less-I just loved Griffin more somehow.Īll I know in the end is that I loved him with all my heart and to have done that is far better than what my life would have been without him in it. That in itself made me feel very guilty for some time, but I realize now that it is about how much love I felt for Griffin that is perhaps prolonging the grief and loss. Unbelievable to me still is that I lost a Labrador at exactly the same age to the same exact condition and accepted that tragedy much easier than this time. In those cases, I did heal more quickly but that really has nothing to do with the current grief that I feel from my loss of Griffin. Every experience will be different, just as with the grief I felt over losing other dogs. The only conclusion that I’ve come to is that everyone grieves in their own way and that healing is never going to be the same for everyone. It is certainly easier today than it was 2 years ago or even one year ago perhaps. I don’t know the answers to any of those questions but I do believe that perhaps time at least soothes all wounds if not heals them.
