Comment on Gone too soon: Coping with the loss of a young pet by Ruth.
My best friend and 3 year old husky, Zeus passed away this morning after experiencing a Spontaneous pneumothorax. He awoke us on the morning of Sept. 13th in pain and struggling to breathe. There was no apparent cause and everything happened so suddenly – I don’t understand. He was my best friend and my greatest joy. The day before this happened he was his usual happy, healthy, goofy self – giving lots of kisses, talking in his husky way, and playing. I had wanted a husky since I was little and finally got one as an adult and he was everything I ever dreamed of. I am so sad and so lost without my buddy. In my darkest moments he would give me light and now I have no fluffy friend to hold and make it better. My whole body hurts, I feel nauseous, unable to stop crying. My mind is flooded with amazing memories and crippling guilt – I wish so badly he was still here and this was all a dream. I was so lucky to have him. I am estranged from my family and he is the only being in my life I could trust to love me – the only friend in my life that made me feel truly loved. I miss you Zeus. I wish we had more time.
