>my 60 year old mother has never liked dogs and always said there will never be a dog in the house
>7 years ago her stepson demanded a puppy so we got one
>she instantly fell in love with it, claiming it as her own
She loves that dog more than life itself...I'm seriously worried for her mental stability once it dies, she freaks out and breaks down if he even so much as starts dry heaving.

OP here. My mom but never liked the idea of having a pet she got agreed to take a dog from a friend who was moving and couldn't take it with her.
It's kind of funny. She would tell me about the things her friend had to do for her old, arthritic dog and said that she'd never do stuff like that, but now she is, cooking him chicken to try and make him eat and sticking her hand in his mouth to try and give him pain pills.
I had to go home, so I won't be there for it when he passes. I know that he's just old and tired and it's time, but it's still really sad. Makes me regret taking him for granted and not doing more with him.
I'm gonna go hug my cat now.

My mom is kind of the same way.
She hated my childhood dog because it was never trained, and it marked in the house. It never bit, was never aggressive, but she hated him because, you know, they'd expected 5-year old me to train it and I didn't know any better.
Fast forward 20 years and she's got this schnauzer-yorkie mix that is neurotic, shits itself out of anger when anyone comes near the house, and bites the shit out of anyone that dares to exist in the same place as where my mom might think about wanting to be. She loves the thing.
My childhood dog died earlier this year at the age of fourteen. Being away from home most of the time, it wasn't hard for me to deal with (she wasn't part of my daily routine, after all) but whenever I visit I can feel the void she left behind. I took a walk earlier, around the neighborhood I grew up in, and got teary-eyed reminiscing about her. You don't realize how truly special and irreplaceable your pets are until they're gone.

My dog just died a few hours ago on Christmas. I've never really lost anyone close before, so it's been hitting me like crazy ever since. I'll adjust to it in time, but this is some awful shit to experience.
0/10, would not recommend.
I don't know how to comfort myself or others that have to deal with this. Maybe focus on the good times instead of the bad (or worse, the good times that you'll never have). My dog had some good experiences and I'm thankful that I was able to give him a decent life. Alot of dogs never get to experience that.
You're not alone on having a shitty year bro

Its okay man. Life is all about up and downs, and death is just as normal as life. Live your chapters and have a good conclusion.
Also watched star wars tonight, totally dissapointed.
Still depressed.
Moving forward dont give a fuck because we're all better than what life throws at us.
Stop being a pussy.
