Hi Jasmine, This is absolutely the right place for you to explain your sadness. I really empathise with what youre going through and was in your exact situation 3 years ago. The grief associated with losing a pet is equal to, and sometimes even more than losing a human. I heard someone say that the love we have for our animals is measured by the depth of the grief we endure once they've gone. You clearly loved your pet immensely. What kind of animal are you missing? What was his or her name?
I can tell you something from first hand experience. It may not help you today but it might help you later on. In my experience, the first anniversary and the build up to this day is the worst you will ever have to feel again. It brings back the feelings of the initial loss. Once you survive that day, and you will, it becomes much less painful in subsequent years. Some good news is that time will absolutely help your healing.
Facebook has a few groups where you can write out your thoughts to others who know and understand.
From memory, there is also an online chat dedicated to this topic. There are so many people out there who understand your grief and it will help you so much to connect and read their stories aswell. Remember that grief is a normal part of loving something. Whilst you don't feel great right now, let yourself go through the process. You are going to feel better and be ok soon once the date has been and gone.
