Last spring we had to put our dog Milo to sleep, he had mitral valve disease and we could not bear to see him suffer. I have dealt with a lot of death in my life: close friends, family, etc. Suicide, accidents, disease, all kinds of stuff. None of the grieving periods I've had after other deaths even comes close to the kind of grief I had after losing Milo. For a week straight, I couldn't get through a day without bursting into tears. A year later, we have a new puppy, but I still sometimes cry about Milo, and I am not someone who usually cries easily.
