Hi M I R, Words are easy the music is much harder , accepting the things we cannot change does not mean we are happy about it , personally I went through hell after two years but hung on and played for time and it passed , ''acceptance is the answer to all our problems'' . we grow through pain .
If I was you I would find a newcomer to take about meetings as for (1) it will take your mind of yourself (2 ) It will give you strength , (3 ) you will have companionship and it will save you sitting about lost in your own thoughts . .

(((MIR))) It's so hard to make that final, loving and merciful decision for our furry best friends. Big Daddy was a gorgeous boy and may the happy memories someday replace your heartache. I'm so glad you're not drinking ---it only makes the sadness that much sadder. Please take good care of You!
It appears all the bad $#!^ is happening at once. I'm sorry you're having to go through this. Unfortunately, life is like that sometimes, but you aren't drinking and that's a huge positive.
Regarding your grief over your daughter's death. I'm sure that's been very hard to come to terms with. Are you or have you considered grief counseling? Or doing as someone else mentioned, joining a support group?
Personally, during rough times, I try to remember the Buddhist doctrine that nothing is permanent--not the good times and not the bad times. Sometimes just acknowledging (but not fighting or attempting to ignore) that times are rough and emotionally painful but that they will pass in due time is enough to diminish the distressing emotions.
Peace

Thanks you all. I just have hizzy fits from time to time when life gets overwhelming.
Everything is just too raw right now. Once I calm down some I will treat the issues as single issues instead of rolling them into a monster problem that can't be addressed.
Just cause you are sober doesn't mean you have the answers or that life will not through some wicked curve balls

I'm so terribly sorry. I have cried more tears over losing my pets than over anything else, cumulative. It's excrutiating.
In the end, we trade their pain in this life for ours, in living on without them. There is really no greater sacrifice we make than in helping them go.
You did the right thing, the most loving thing, the most unselfish thing.
He will live on in your heart.

I'm so sorry MIR, but I know Big Daddy is in a better place where there is no hurt. He is keeping an eye on your daughter and they are very happy together.
You are a good person MIR....thank you for sharing your life with us; you are teaching us all so much. (((HUGS)))
