Conclusion
I am so sorry that your dog has passed away. I hope it wasn’t far before their time. But even so, just know that you gave them the best life they could have, and they are waiting for you on the other side of the rainbow bridge.
The idea of continuing life after the passing of a dog seems hard. They brought so much joy and laughter to your day-to-day; there will no doubt be a big hole left. But know that as time moves on, you will be okay. And perhaps the next dog you get will have been sent to you by your old one.
It’s never easy losing something. Whether that be your dog, your family member or your friend. Grief is a very isolating feeling. I have found that it improves when you connect with people, so check out some of our other grief quotes.
