A part of me just died…

Yesterday I found out that a horse that I’ve been extremely close to died. Everyone is telling me that I’m going to be ok, but I’m not. I can’t stop crying or shaking. It feels like all the light in my life is long gone. She wasn’t my horse, but I had a bond with her. She was really important to me and I feel really lost right now. I’m sick of hearing “You’ll be OK” “She’s happy now” I know she is. She can run again. But I never got to say goodbye and it was totally out of the blue. This is slowly crushing me.

It’s difficult, but you can’t dwell on it. You have to go out and do things. I know it’s like asking an empty car to fill itself up, but once you do, it might help.

That sucks, but there isn’t much that can be done it seems. We just have to keep on living. The most important thing though is to make sure your loss doesn’t turn what are clearly good memories into a source of pain.

My dog died two years ago, so I know how you feel. The flip side of love is the pain that goes with it — “grief is the price we pay for love.” You will feel better, eventually. Sorry if it sounds like drivel, but it’s true.

I am moving on with my life, I’m good during the day with things to distract me, but as soon as night hits, I can’t sleep. I’m exhausted, but I can’t sleep at all, I already used sleeping pills on Monday night, I don’t want to use them too much since I don’t really want to rely on them, but thats where its bad.

There are other things than prescription sleeping pills you can use, things that are more mild and don’t have the danger of dependency. Diphenhydramine, the antihistamine used in Benadryl, will put most people to sleep. You can find it in over-the-counter sleep aids, but it’s the same stuff and cheaper packaged as house brand (Walmart, Walgreen’s, CVS, etc.) antihistamine. Melatonin also works well. I use the time-released kind since I tend to wake up in the middle of the night. You can find a lot of information about both these things online.
