In reply to the discussion: I have lost a child and it is the worst thing that can happen. [View all]Wawannabe

Loss is real. I just lost my dog - while no comparison to a child - I am feeling really lost as we did things together every day. He needed me and I him. He was totally tuned into me and it feels like part of me is gone. Just gone. How does one deal with that without feeling depressed? I hope a time comes for you to remember joyfully rather than painfully.
I know Zeus led a wonderful life for 8 yrs and that is what I hold onto most. When alive that boy was happy and well cared for his whole life. Try to focus on happiest memories for a change or for a while??
Peace to you friend.
