Nearly 6 months ago I lost my first pony of 14 years to a broken leg. The loss was sudden and completely unexpected. She was 17 years old but I thought I would have at least another 6 years or more to enjoy her.
If I'm honest I'm struggling to stop the tears and feelings of grieve for her. She was more like a sister than a pony to me.
I've not lost anyone that I've had such a bond with, so is this behaviour normal?
Will I be able to start to look back and only have happy memories and not have to remember a detailed and vivid horrible flash back?
Sorry if I have brought back bad memories for anyone but it just isn't getting easier day by day. Plus I feel uncomfortable talking to a counselor as I think they might just laugh at me.
Thanks
