Hello everyone,

I am so thankful for you all! I lost my husband of 54 years last August after a 10 yr battle with Parkinsons and Dementia. Three weeks ago I said my final good-bye to my wonderful sweet Sydney, my 10 year old mini Labradoodle. I am so lost and broken. I feel like everything has been taken from me.

Hi @wealshiremedina I was sorry to read of your loss of your husband to such tough diseases and then the loss of your Labradoodle (I'm a Labrador guy myself). It is so very hard to manage emotions of one loss, let alone with life stacks them up on you. My wife and I were married for 42 years during which 14 of them were during her battle with brain cancer. To me, some parts of the void are simply impossible for me to fill no matter how hard I try or how hard I try to ignore them. They are just a part of my life that I try to embrace as best I can

My emotions are still raw in many ways, which constantly amazes, and sometimes irritates, me!. I cannot watch any TV that isn't something with a happy ending (I watch a lot of old reruns) and I cry like a baby whenever I watch a Disney movie with our grandsons!

I hope you know, while you have lost a LOT, there are folks here pulling for you and wishing the best for you!

Strength, Courage, & Peace
