Hello everyone I’m 16 and from Ireland. Yesterday my best friend my nine year old jack Russell Scooby was struck by a car he was killed and with him a large piece of me. To say I’m devestated is an understatement i am crushed i cant go in without him and i didn’t know where to turn so here i am. I saw him after he got hit my mother brought him out back and i was alone with him then i picked him up and walked him around. I brought him inside and layed him on a cushion. The poor guy was bleeding. I need some help will i meet him when I’m finished here i desperately miss him.

It is so difficult losing our pets.

You have given your pet a wonderful life and now your pet is at peace and not suffering , after the accident.

Grief is real and totally valid when we lose our best mate.

I will pray for you.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted

🙏🕊️
 
Hi, Carpenter!

It is a very sad experience… sadly still, it is part of life; while this experience can rob us of energy and even the will to live, we must remain strong… we must not allow the experience to damage us permanently… even though you may not fill up to it, share that love that you can’t give to your buddy with others in need (senior citizens, children in hospital, local pet shelter or youth group in need of mentors).

My heart goes out to you.

God Bless!

Maran atha!

Sending hugs 😦
Your grief is still very raw. Right now, take care of yourself, be gentle with yourself, find some real life people for comfort (although you are welcome to vent here too).
Is this your first big loss? Be aware that your emotions will fluctuate, but improve over time.
If you can’t pull yourself together (like it’s several weeks later and you’re feeling even worse), seek professional help.
But it probably won’t get to that
Hugs again
 
Oh Carpenter! It is so very, very heartbreaking when you lose a special pet. It is often more difficult than losing a family member you only see occasionally. You often feel the most love and affection for those you take care of. You were your dog’s best friend. He didn’t have other friends or family obligations that came before you. You were his number one mate.

I’m a bit embarrassed to admit it but when my previous dog died I think I cried more than I did when my mother passed away.

I don’t know any way to lessen your pain but i can tell you that it eventually does get better. It will take days, weeks, months, or longer. If you have friends or family members who will listen when you want to talk about your pet and remember some of the special things he used to do, then take advantage of the opportunities. For now when you remember your friend it will likely make you feel sad but eventually the memories will make you smile.

Give yourself some time.

Also, seeing an animal die is extremely traumatic if you have not experienced it before. You may find yourself with nightmares or flashbacks. Do not be afraid to speak to a Priest or even a professional if it continues to plague you. But most importantly, give yourself time.
 
Hi Carpenter,

I’m so terribly sorry about the loss of your beloved little dog.

It’s so difficult losing a dear pet like this. It hurts so very much.

I’ve always had kitties as pets, and I still miss every single one of them, and I think about each one of them.

It’s normal to hurt a lot in your heart for your dog, and you’ll miss him a lot at first. Give yourself time to grieve for him.

With the passing of time, your heartache should ease. ❤️

God bless you, my dear. ❤️
 
Hugs from me too.
Your had your little Scooby since you were little,
your little companion who has been devoted to you for so many years of your childhood.
To lose him is heartbreaking.

I’m really sorry, Love.
 
There is a poem that always helps me when one of my fur babies passes from this life. It is called “The Rainbow Bridge” and tells how those who have crossed over are made whole again and are no longer in pain. They play and are happy but miss thier human companion. When their human comes, they are reunited and enter Heaven together. The Rainbow Bridge is what i always called Animal Heaven.

Due to the guidelines, I don’t know if it would be permissible to link to the website. But you can use any of the search engines and type in “The Rainbow Bridge Poem.” There is also a version from the dog’s pov, if I remember correctly.

As I said, the poem has comforted me through many losses since being online. May it bless and comfort you as well.
 
To anyone who responded thank you all so much I’ve never seen so much
support it is clear that the community here is very strong. Your words have
given me the strength to carry on and that is something i will always
appreciate so thank you all
God bless you all

So many here love critters. So we know the pain and share it with you. Yes it will ease and let the food memories heal yo. I remember meeting a big tough Irishman and as we were talking re dogs, he said, in a bewildered voice that he had had a dog and when it died " I was not right for a year." He never got another, but you will; all that love to give. Loving always costs, Always. Know that and be comforted? Blessings also from Ireland and stay safe in the weather. Sitting here abed worrying re my dog as I am stranded over the ocean from home and her.
 
Carpenter, I am satisfied that your beloved Scooby will be waiting for you in Heaven.

Scripture tells us there will be trees in the New Heavens and New Earth, with their leaves “for the healing of the nations.” (Rev. 22:2). Now, do you think God would give eternal life to plants – to weeds – and then deny life to all the dear creatures? Is that consistent with the way God acts?

I’ve heard people say there are no dogs in Heaven, based on their translation of Rev. 22:15. That’s an ancient slang term. “Dogs” in the original means no sinners. (It was a specific sin.) It has nothing to do with puppies. So don’t let your heart worry about it. In Heaven there will be no sin. There’s a difference.

It is true that animals lack our intellect and therefore can neither repent nor comprehend a need to repent. But then, animals never rebelled against God in the first place. As Romans 8:19-22 reminds us, they only suffer because they too are waiting for deliverance from the sins humans brought into the world. If they were waiting for their extinction, then they wouldn’t be waiting for “deliverance,” and Romans wouldn’t have said they were looking forward to it. When God says He will redeem all creation, why not believe it? “Creation shall be delivered.” Pretty straightforward!

Many, many times, Scripture tells us that God uses animals to teach us. BIrds are in there. Animals are in there. Many animals are in there. Only human arrogance assumes that God doesn’t have a purpose for animals. They give God glory. Why would they ever stop?

When your heart is heavy, think of the purity of your Scooby’s love. Pure love is holy, and pleasing to God.

Blessings.
 
I’m so sorry to hear about your dog. Poor little fellow. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
