My father took ill suddenly with a sore stomach in the afternoon and I rushed him to hospital. To cut a long story short after a 3hr operation we were advised that he has suffered a burst colon and he was put into intensive care on life support as he had gone into toxic shock. He sadly passed away yesterday afternoon. He had been living with us since my Mom passed away 2 years ago. Today after coming back from the mortuary feeling dazed and tearful I found my little Maltese poodle, my doggy child, had drowned in our pool. She was diabetic and was blind and relied on me to take her outside for toilet etc. I have now lost 2 important members of my family. Tonite I made dinner for 2 instead of 3 and put down 1 bowl of doggy food instead of 2. I am still numb to the bone, my heart torn apart. How a life can change in an instant.
"Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted."
Matthew 5:4
Try to reach out to others who may need your help, as this will help you through this time of grief.
Love and hugs,

I do know how a life can change in an instant.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you but just as sure as it is going to rain again, the sun will soon follow. Keep your Mom and Dad close to your heart and in your memories as well as your furbaby. The Lord did not do this so you would feel pain and grief. It was their time to go be with their Father. Hugs and prayers, Linda
Mind you: " Nobody dies, while it remains live in our heart ".
A comfort hug.

I like you had a hard time understanding how life could change in an instant after my father passed away 3 yr old to an unexpected heart attack! If there is anything I can do let me know! A prayer sent to you and your family!
Is ever truly gone
If it leaves a loving memory
For looking back upon.
May your grief soon pass and allow you to see all the happy memories that enrich your life because of your love for your Dad and of course your doggy child.
This part of life is the most difficult thing we humans have to endure and none of us are immune from the pain it brings, we all share your pain and our love goes out to you.

My mom had cancer, uncle had had a stroke a couple years before, and my husband had an anurism of the brain and it burst.
I've always thought my mom and my first husband have been looking over my shoulder and helping me when needed - it somehow gives you an uplift.
Sometimes it even feels like they are standing right beside me.
You will come through your sorrow and the pain will lessen with each day but will never be comepletly forgotten. They may no longer be physically with you but they are in your heart.
So take care during the next trying days and know everyone here is thinking of you and yours.
He may lift up your faith to believe that everything happens is for your best, you can see now or later.
After this sickness of your father it would have been so hard to see him suffering, a big problem for elder people. Now he is at home with no more pain.
I even can understand how it is to loose a litte dog living in the family.
I had a simular white sweety and died for heart attack too early - it neede a while not to call her by name.
The Lord bless you with strenght and trust in His abylities to comfort you.

I am so sorry to hear about your sorrows. There are no words that can help, but please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Frannie
No words can heal your pain right now, it takes a long time. The thing that finally helped me much later after loosing my mum and dad nearly at the same time, was that they had had their years and would want for me to enjoy my remaining years.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Hugs

God bless
