*hugs* that is just so sad. I have a smaller dog.. not tea cup and i'm always watching to make sure I don't run her over or step on her.. sometimes it's so hard. :(
No advice here for you though except maybe he could try counseling. It might do him some good to sit down and talk about everything that has been happening lately. Good luck.

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband having a hard time. It would probably be good for him to talk to someone other then family about his grief.

You and your husband will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry about your puppy that is so sad. I don't know if you are religious or not but prayers work wonders. My hubby was very depressed after his best friend killed himself. All I could do was back off and give him his space and do alot of praying. And praying I did. Finally the black cloud left and he was his old self again. God does answer prayers.

sorry about your puppy. I agree w/others. Your hubby might be able to find help by talking w/a Dr. There are meds that can help the depression. Also, you have nothing to lose by saying a prayer or two. (((hugs)))

I have been in your shoes. My hubby lost his best friend, who was like a brother to him and his cousin more or less at the same time. Actually, we were at his cousins lay out when his best friend died. Then not too much later, my dad passed away and then 5 months to the day after Daddy passed away, we lost our dog, Dingo. He was more hubbys dog than mine. Dingo worshiped the ground my hubby walked on.

Hon, all I can tell you is to be there for him. If he wants to talk about his losses, let him talk. I don't bring up the losses my hubby has had unless he gets to talking about them. That approach seems to work best for us.

He has come a long way but is still on the depressed side. So am I actually. I am on anti depressants and he probably should be. You may want to mention the antidepressants to your hubby if he don't seem to be progressing like he should be.

It sounds to me like your hubby could use some professional counseling. He's had a lot of grief to work through, and even though we support them and love them, it isn't always enough. I'd look for a grief counselor for him. If he doesn't want to go alone, you could go with him.

I'm sorry about your dog. I know how YOU feel because as a child, I watched my sister close the door on our cat. The cat died. She felt awful.

I hope everything goes well for you and your husband.

((((( hugs )))))

You can not force someone to seek help, if they dont want to even if you physically drag them into the counselrs office it aint going to help, suggest it and be there to support him, that is what he needs right now. I am preying for you and for him that he realizes that at this point he really needs help
