Awwwh Hunni, i kno how it feels! Regardless of how affectionate it was towards you and how long it lived for - You still feel like your heart has broken up into tiny pieces! When anything happens to an animal, you're likely to come to the conclusion that you're to blame! i.e. why wasn't i there when my dog got run over or how could i have left the poor bird dying, when i should have taken it to vets? Don't blame yourself okay hun - I personally think dat is what is upsetting you - i mite be wrong...just an assumption! However, in time hun you will find it easier and easier! Time is the only cure. If you have any pictures of him don't browse through them at this moment in time because it'll just make you feel worse! When you feel that the emotional period has passed then you can look back and re-live the happy memories of when he was alive! And he shall remain in your heart forever. Don't worry about it hun, you'll be fine! All My Love xxx

In time you will be able to talk about and laugh about your lovely friend and pet - you will know when this time comes. Don't be hard on yourself grieving is normal - it is important that you seek and receive support from all those around you to compensate for the pain. Keep a diary and good advice from the other posts - create a scrapbook or similar. If you had a happy and much loved pet you will have given them a wonderful life - that is something to be very proud of.

Hi sweetie
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I guess you feel like you have lost a friend...right?? Do you have photos of your pet? Could you make up a photo album and call it a memory book? I know the feelings you are feeling. I had to have my horse put down when I was about your age and all these years later...it still hurts. I cried a lot and that is ok. Cry if you need to..you can just go in your room and let the tears flow. I agree with Mandy 7 that what you are feeling is normal and ok.School is out and you have the summer to go through this. Are your friends and family here for you now hun?? Know that the memories will be with you forever. It hurts now and as time goes on it will hurt less and less. Good luck sweetheart and let us know how you are doing.XXXXXXXXXXXXX

im sorry to hear about your pet dying, some people form close attachments to pets and it can feel just like a person dying to them. Therefore theres is nothing in particular you can do to 'get over' your pet dying, however i suggest you put aside a few moments to remember this pet and then continue life as normal as you can. Maybe you could plant something in your garden to remember them? mail me if you like xx and remember everything happens for a reason

hi there,Losing a loved pet is very hard to come to terms with, i loved my dog tanya she was my best friend, i had her when i was 8 and she died when i was about 22.what got me over her was the thought of the life id given her and the fact i was so greatfull to have those years, i said i would never have another dog because compaired to ours there life is very short but i have another one now.its very real the mourning your doing and dont let anyone make you feel its not, the vet told me my dog had 3 months to live, my first reaction was to hand in my notice at work so that i could spend all those 3 months with her. my boss talked me round not to do this, but you need to go through the mourning its very real.just think about the time you had with him and what a wonderfull life he had, theres no way you could do anything about loosing him but wasnt it better to of had him and lost him and be sad than to not of had him at all.xxxxxmail me if you want to chat
