My Grief of Missing My Dog, Maggie May

Those who read this who have lost a very special dog in their life may understand how I feel. For those who haven't read my heartbreaking story, I lost my very special girl, my dog Maggie May to Congetive heart Failure from complications to the diabetes that I was treating her for these past two years. In my life, I have had other dogs before Maggie May. While I've loved all of the dogs that I've had throughout my life (as I love all dogs), I had a special bond with Maggie May like no other. She was truly my "one in a million dog", my "heart dog", and my "soulmate." She touched my heart like no other. Every day, I gave Maggie May a big hug, told her how much I loved her, and how I wished we could be together forever. I would always tell her that "my heart belongs to Maggie." She completely captured my heart and I never wanted to let go. I still don't. Even though I have a new puppy, Mandy, I still cry every day because of how much I miss Maggie. It's been 8 months and still hurts just as much as that horrible day last April. Thursday, April 25, 2013 will always be the second worst day of my life (the only day worse was Tuesday, September 25, 2001, which was the day my mom died.) The bonding with my new puppy, Mandy, has been hard. The grief still feels so raw that it's just hard to get close to her without crying. I want to let Mandy into my heart but don't want ever let Maggie May out of my heart or forget what we had together. I'm still hurting so bad and don't know if it will ever get easier.
