I Feel Like It's My Fault...

ChancetheGSD · 06-23-2011, 07:57 PM

I'm still in shock. I lost Chance this afternoon and my head is spinning thinking of all the things I could have done differently. My heart got in the way and the result was my boy lost his life. I stopped on the highway to pick up a stray who was about to get hit, as I got out of the car I guess the door didn't shut as well as I thought and next thing I know I'm watching my own boy get hit. My heart hurts so bad. I feel like I just lost my child. How do you deal with the grief?

RIP Chance, mommy loves you so much and I'm so sorry.

I feel so lost without my baby.

I am so sorry this happened to you and Chance! What a terrible loss for you. I too have a soft spot for strays so don't beat yourself up over it. What a beautiful boy Chance was! One of my Shepherds managed to jump out our car window when he was just 3 and went straight to the busy highway, got hit and died almost immediately. I thought I would die too from the grief. After that I swore to get a doggie seatbelt. I can just see the love you had for each other in those pictures. Wish I could help ease your grief!

Oh my gosh. I can't imagine. That is devastating. My prayers are with you. A lot of people I know get their pet cremated and take them with them where ever they move.

I have no words that havent already been said. There is only so many times people can say they are sorry before it starts becoming just a buzz in the air. Thats heartbreaking. I myself try to help strays. Your heart was in the right place. It was just a situation that was meant to go differently than you'd planned it to. He was certainly a handsome dog. I hope you are able to forgive yourself. It wasnt your fault. I believe things are already written out for us and sometimes you can change the outcome and sometimes you cant. Sadly this was one of those cant times. RIP Chance. I'm sure he wouldnt want you to beat yourself up over this. I understand its tough. My heart and prayers go out to you in this extremely difficult time.
