Your Pet Loss Diaries

I wish I had some better news about my "progress" but the fact of the matter is I'm not. I am fully in the depression mode. I had a particularly bad week last week. Tearing up at every little thing and crying myself to sleep each night. The pain is as raw as it was when it first happened.

I actually started thinking that I may need professional help with this. I thought I could handle it but now I'm not so sure. I also have been laid off from my job in the past week, so that has been another stressor.

I always abided by the thinking that life only gives you as much as you can handle, but I think in this case, it's way more than I can handle.
