RE: The world is not helping me much these days ...
Dear @jdkennedy
I'm having my first dog and I'm so bloody worried, that once he will die - my wife will fall into some heavy depression. I wish dogs would live way longer than they do.
I agree that we can become quite attached to our furry friends over the years. But each person will respond differently when they pass on, especially if there was any kind of ‘old age’ suffering involved. Then the passing will be seen as a mercy. Also, you will attach more to some dogs than others - they all have there own personalities just as we do. Your wife might surprise you - you could find yourself the more affected one :)
So enjoy you furry friends while they are here now and deal with that natural phase of life only when it comes.
It's hard, I can accept in my mind that "Everything that is born someday will have to die", but in my heart there is always the desire that those I love do not want to die too soon.
Certainly before each death I will react differently, nor am I sure that it will affect me so much or how badly I will remain in that mourning, but while I was alive I tried to accept this idea as best I could, in the end his death it hurt and it came to me at a time when I am not in my best form, but I also have to thank him that he endured and did not leave when I was in depression, that would have been worse, so a part of me wants to hold on to the illusory idea that he struggled to survive because I needed him.
It's me again @jdkennedy
I just realized that I never actually thanked you for your comment. Big thx.
ps.
I would need to ask you for little favour. Recently I've decided to join small contest called "Community of the week" and I desribed our project.hope hive/community. Would you mind helping me out and RESTEEM this post - just to get some extra exposure? Your valuable comment would be also appreciated.

That is a justified fear, but it is something we live with every day, so we have to endure uncertainty and strive to enjoy and share every moment, because we do not know if it will be the last we will have together.
