Lost my best friend

If this doesnt belong here please forgive me and perhaps the mods can move it.

My little Maltese dog, William, died a few hours ago unexpectedly.

I feel completely dead inside.

For those that pray I'd appreciate a prayer for William.

The love of my life.

I'm a big proponent of trying to be the person our dogs think we are.
Honour Williams memory by continuing to live the way you have been recently.

We;re here to support & help you through this.

I am so sorry to hear of William's sudden death. Our furry family means the world to us and it's awful when we lose them. I will keep you both in my prayers for peace of mind.

Im so sorry shift. I lost my 17 year old cat very early in sobriety. One of my greatest sobriety accomplishments was not drinking. Man, that one hurt. I hope they are frolicking over the rainbow bridge.

Peace, friend.

Shift,

I understand the love that we have for our souls in animal bodies. They are truly the epitome of how we should live our lives; love unconditionally, always be selfless, stay present and not dwell on the past or worry about the future.

It sounds like Sir William had the most loving home, a wonderful life and mostly, a human who loved him the way he loved you. Just as lucky as you are to have him in your life, he was as well. Dogs are saints and we are lucky to call them friends, family and our soul mates.

William has changed his form, but he has never left, he will always live within you and it is so amazing that you have been sober and are able to be present and honor his life consciously. He deserves that and so do you.

I truly believe that, as the movie so smartly said all those years ago, ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN. Heaven is in your heart, your memory and the eternal love and connection you have for each other.

I am so sorry for your loss and I will say the Jewish Prayer for him tonight.

Nic.
