Even if you have seen it coming for a while, it is still very hard. It only gets worse the longer you had them as a part of your family. Some children grow up with a dog, and cannot remember being without them. Some other people find that their only companion is their dog. So when they are gone, they are completely alone.<br /> <br /> If you are unprepared, as most people are, the loss can be almost more than you can handle. Sudden loss from an accident can magnify the problems we can face. Fortunately there is a few things we can do to minimize our grief.<br /> <br /> Leave your home for awhile. You may not feel like a vacation but perhaps a visit to family or friends will help you find a bit of solace. Don't visit a house full of energetic small children if you need quiet but take a break.<br /> <br /> Just cry! Venting our emotions helps us acknowledge how we really feel. By knowing how deep our pain is we can begin to deal with it. The sooner you move through grief, the sooner you can begin to heal.<br /> <br /> Talk about your friend to a human friend. Find another dog lover and talk to them. Sharing your relationship is a healing process. As healing begins, you'll want to give away most of your dog's possessions - even if you think you may get a new dog. But consider keeping a favorite picture or favorite toy as a nice memorial.<br /> <br /> Think about a new companion. No new dog will ever replace your lost friend but a new friendly face can help you get over your grief much faster. Get all new supplies - make it a fresh start for both of you.<br /> <br /> Know that time does lessen the depth of the wound. Nothing makes the loss go away altogether but the pain softens and we move forward positively with our lives. Time will not erase your memories so don't be afraid to move forward.</div><div style="font-style: italic"><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div>We hope your doggie friend has a long life ahead of him or her.
