I Could Use Your Thoughts and Prayers

[Tony2046]

It was pretty good. No deep depression. Did break down in tears at my desk when the vet called to tell me that Moses' ashes are there for me to pick up. Heading over on my lunch hour tomorrow to get them and will bring my boy home tomorrow night. That will be rough.

I was able to stay pretty steady emotionally although she was heavy on my mind.

What are you going to do with his ashes?

I had a hard time trying to figure out what to do with the ashes of my two bigger guys. I finally decided on the field where I use to run them all the time. Figured that's where they would be free.

Not sure what I'm going to do with them. I will probably keep them someplace in the house through the winter before disbursing them in the spring.

Kenneth,

You have received a lot of good advice and support. The guy with the long post, we can all relate to what he said. We have all gone through what you are going through, some of us many times. As others have said many times, these things take time, there are no short cuts. Having read your posts I think I have figured out your life, one of consistently giving yourself to others, total sacrifice.

I'm no therapist or expert, just a regular guy. Here's my advice:

1. Stay away from booze;
2. Take a vacation, go to Vegas;
3. Find a professional and let her light your azz up;
4. Repeat step 3 a couple of times;
5. Do not fall in love with professional;
6. Stay away from booze;
7. Come back home;
8. Come back here and tell us all about it.

Stay strong brother.

Kenneth,



1. Stay away from booze;
2. Take a vacation, go to Vegas;


Managing to pull off these two steps simultaneously could be rather challenging.

Good morning. I am a little sad this morning feeling a sense of loss for both her and Moses.

Out walking my lab. Heading to work soon. Thank you all for everything you have done for me. I will never be able to repay or pay forward your kindness.

Btw, I have never been a drinker. My father and his father were both alcoholics, so I have always been careful about it.

That's good, especially if you are taking medication. Booze and depression don't mix well. Now go to Vegas and have fun. Leave the lab with your wonderful sister, get away from it all for a bit. Good day.

You will have those feelings. Don't hope for them to go away just hope to be able to deal with them better.
You know you are in the right path. Hang in there and remember these days when things get better. You will appreciate the good times more knowing you fought a battle (one you never asked for) to get there. The rest of your life is a blank canvas and you are in control of what goes on it.

Unless you're the guy that becomes an internet sensation. Have a great day Kenneth,

@Kenneth Sims, the Bunny Ranch would be my suggestion. They'll listen to you as well.

Man, I think Vegas can be depressing as hell. But that's just me I guess.

 

[neuronet]

Save a few thousand and go to Tijuana, Adelitas.

Seriously, though, that is awful advice.

It seems you are doing everything right. Keep coming and unloading whatever is on your chest here as much as you need...

Got my boy's ashes. Cried my eyes out worse than when we put him down.

Moses loved to go for rides. So, I have decided to leave his remains in the box and place the box under the passenger seat of every vehicle I own for the rest of my life. He can ride shotgun with me on every ride a take till the end.

It was the suggestion of motherofmoses. I think she was kidding because the suggestion was accompanied by a smilie face.

Not a bad idea. One of my dog's ashes we buried in the back yard right at the spot along the fence where he used to sit every day and sun himself. My yard is a slope so he could see over the fence and out into the street. It's comforting to think he's out there still watching the neighborhood.

Nothing wrong with that. No matter where you put his ashes Moses will be riding shotgun with you in "spirit" anyways. Don't forget to celebrate his life with you. He was obviously a great dog.

On a side note: I would like to thank @PatsBoy12 and you for this thread. It has benefitted me in a small but significant way. So thanks for that. Sincerely.

Here's a toast to you two and Moses. Have a great weekend guys.

Exactly, look at it as love therapy. Kenneth says his ex was the first woman he kissed at 44, so he doesn't have a lot of experience with women thus his predicament. Would be nice if every time a thought of the ex popped up, a mental film of his love therapy could short circuit the sad thoughts, maybe even bring a smile. Anyway any 51 y/o man would have his self esteem increased after making love to a beautiful woman.

That's my advice and I'm so serious about it that I'm willing to contribute to the "Let's send Kenneth to Vegas to get Laid" fund as long as Ian handles the funds. Kenneth is in a funk, he's so sad he's making me feel depressed and he mentioned something about money being tight with the loss of 2nd income.

If anyone else feels the same way, and Kenneth agrees, I'll put down $250 towards the fund right now and double it once the fund reaches $5,000.

If I'm coming across as insensitive I apologize but I truly believe Kenneth needs an experience with another woman to help him move on.
