re: After losing a dog, how long did you wait before getting another?

I’m sorry to see that the terrible loss of your beautiful son has overwhelmed you and led you to believe that you have somehow , through your suffering earned the right to minimize the pain that others feel. I hope that you find acceptance and peace in time. It is a profound loss that only someone who has lost a child could possibly understand.

It is important to remember though that your suffering does not give you or anyone a license not to have empathy and compassion for others, even if their suffering seems minimal in comparison to yours.

Everyone here continues to pray for you and your family. My deepest condolences.
