Nothing prepares you for this.

JDNSW, do you still cry? I sure do, does it stop? Do you, after all those years, do you ever stop grieving??

You believe that what you have is forever. I am in reasonably good health, I believed I would have a life going forward. I was 62 when my life changed unalterably. What do I do now? A dog? That's a terrible decision, at leat for me..

But, then, maybe I'll live to be 105, and I'll need TWO dogs.

Make sure you have someone to look after your dog, and just live your life... Jan would have told me this, I think.

I have a dog, and after the last one died my children insisted I replace it with the one I have now. And, I suppose that the major thing that keeps me going is my grandchildren.

But no, I have not stopped grieving, but I think I am in a bit better place than I was ten years ago.
