Loss Again

Dear Friends,

I am drowning in grief. We will let our dog Houdini go in a matter of hours. He has been declining for a while, so it is not unexpected. But it is too much on top of losing Hana unexpectedly just three weeks ago. I am so in pain over this dual loss. I am so dysregulated and adding to my family’s stress and scaring Houdini on his final night.

He was so sweet and goofy. I am so going to miss his happy personality. I am going to miss his greetings at the front door. I am going to miss his annoying habits. I am going to miss his loving energy.

We have all been struggling with Hana’s loss. To go through this so soon after is too much.

The house will feel so very empty. I don’t know how I will cope.

Your Friend,

Danny

  1. I am so very sorry for your loss, Danny. My heart goes out to you and your family. Houdini and Hana will be together now, but I know that won’t make you miss them any less. Hope this quote by Rumi can bring you a bit of peace and comfort: “Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul, there is no such thing as separation.”

  2. Danny, we love you and we feel your pain. I hope you are able to get another pet soon. I know it is a lot of work, but they are such healing helpers, aren’t they.
