thanks to JustDon'tAsk and invisible butterfly for the hugs. Other than them, I haven't gotten any support here, which I'm disappointed about. Yesterday I almost ended up in the hospital due to my grief. I just felt like I couldn't handle any more. It doesn't help that I recognized a few more losses in my life. Shortly after my Dad passed, a man from my church whom I regarded as a grandfather passed away unexpectedly. Then, recently, I lost the only man I've ever truly loved romantically. Also, I'm mourning the loss of a friendship with a man who was like a father to me after my own died. And, to top it off, I'm facing the loss of another dog of mine that I've had for 17 years...............When will the pain end???????
