Our old Lab, Sophie, reached the end of her long walk this week. It’s been pretty hard concentrating on work ever since.
I’m kind of hoping this eulogy I wrote for her over at my other ‘stack might help.
Sorrow is a lake, fathomless and wide, but grief is always a cascade. It roars. It sweeps all before it. Grief ever threatens to carry us under.
This week I grieved. Next week if I am lucky the torrent will have slowed and spread and covered all the contours of what lies beneath with mere sorrow.
My old and most faithful friend is gone.

Labs are companions like no other, sounds like she lived a very full life with you
I'm sorry, losing a dog rips you up. Some of the worst days of my life. I'm crying as I type this and can only imagine how you feel. It sounds like she had a great life and loved you all to the very end.
It's cheesy as hell, but the rainbow bridge story I found comforting. I can only hope I'll see all my boys again some day.
I hope it helps you a little.
