I'm a recovering alcoholic, an HSP (a disorder that makes you extremely sensitive to everything feelings, bright lights, loud noises etc) and am on Whidbey island wa state, moved here I yr ago, I lost everything everyone due to my alcoholism all I had left was my corgi who I had to put down recently, he was my soulmate. I don't know how to go forward I'm engulfed in pain I can't keep friends, I'm at a loss..finished
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your best friend. While no one can know exactly what you are feeling, many of us have lost pets who were dear to us; myself included. You are not alone in that regard.
Thank you for your kind words, yes Benny was exactly that; my best friend I would talk to him about my day, my problems and he would act as a best friend would. He would listen, cock his little head and let me vent, and lick my hand or press his head against mine. There was no one dearer to me than him, I've been told to lean into the pain, feel it, then let it go. This way you heal faster, I don't know about that,the pain is still too raw, too deep to imagine any kind of healing at all....
