Shame to hear that mate, emotions are a tricky thing at times, mine creep up on me with no notice. I can leave work feeling great, by the time I get to my front door I want to cry or whack someone with no logical reason whatsoever. Strange as most of the time I'm about as level as you get.
When the times right your be back to normal and feel ok again, until then don't force it and try not to fight your emotions. Easy to type I know. If they are good friends they will understand and invite you out again soon. If all else fails go for a drive. Always works for me and this is pistonheads after all. All the best mate.
Thanks mate. Makes sense.When the times right your be back to normal and feel ok again, until then don't force it and try not to fight your emotions. Easy to type I know.

Clearly it has taken more out of me than I thought possible.
I am very level headed but as you say when your feeling this way your emotions are just all over the place.
Better to wait instead of forcing a night out for the sake of it which could land up even more negative.

How you getting on mate?
Thank you for asking mate. 
A week today and I feel as just as bad.
Just don't want to sound like a stuck record as when someone continues to carry on moaning about something it can get very annoying but it has hit me very hard.

No problem mate, better to bend our ears rather than upsetting your family. Just be ready to deal with my complaining when I'm unfortunate enough to go through this trauma

Send me a PM when the time comes. Hopefully in a long time from now..This thread is to help me and depress others after reading back.

Been following this thread as my mutley has also been struggling with his health of late. He's had about a month of deterioration due to some sort of lung / heart problem. He was too old for any aesthetic based investigations so the decision was taken to throw some drugs at him to see if they can help. He had a few positive reactions to some of the drugs but nothing lasted more than a couple of days. Many sleepless nights were spent keeping him comfy and giving him the best chance of sorting himself out but it wasn't to be - Last few days were dreadful. Monday morning was the time to do the right thing by him and our local vet made the whole process as good as it could ever be - still an incredibly hard thing to do and been pretty hard work since.
Day we got him
Chillin
Couple of months ago
He was a rescue that was found in Swindon train station covered in tar and puking up glass, then we got lucky and he joined our family. I've worked from home since we got him so pretty much been with him every day of his life for the past 14 years and what an honour it has been. Always said I wasn't getting another dog once Bruno went but I'm not sure how long that will actually last!!
So very sorry about your loss mate. Very touching that he was given a life with you after the horrible start in life he was dealt.Day we got him

Boils my blood that anyone could hurt any animal especially dogs when they are so loyal.
Again so sorry for your loss
If you want to post again about anything please do. It helped me a lot.

Thanks man, had a fairly quiet week - kinda hits you in stages especially when you keep finding stuff scattered around.
Older pic from when he had the splint removed from his carpal fusion op and was able to use his leg properly for the first time in about 2 years:
It's the little things that hit the hardest. Your brain is so wired having the dog in your life that you are automatically think or do something before remembering they are not there anymore.Older pic from when he had the splint removed from his carpal fusion op and was able to use his leg properly for the first time in about 2 years:
He looks so happy in that picture. That must be a massive comfort.
You will still have some bad days. It only natural.
It really is losing your best friend or a family member.
