I lost my beautiful little chap to colic last night and my heart is breaking

I lost my old boy in exactly the same way - I completely understand your heartbreak.

When you loose a special friend in such a devestating way you need to try and lock their name to favourite moment with them in your mind so you imprint a happy connection in your brain as a lasting legacy.
 
I too, lost my boy this way after 16 years. It is a dreadful, dreadful experience but take comfort that you were with him at the end and that you did the best thing for him.
I'm not really a cryer but I cried and cried so give yourself time and space to grieve.
Thinking of you and sending you best wishes.
 
So, so sorry for your loss. Throughout your grief I hope you manage to find comfort in that you have him seventeen wonderful years full of love. RIP beautiful boy.
 
Oh, what an awful shock and terribly sad. I'm so sorry. He must leave a big hole when you've had him so long, but the pain will subside and you'll have all your lovely memories.
 
Awful losing a horse like that is always a terrible shock as you have no time to prepare OP you do get over it each day it gets better.
 
So sorry xxx
Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago, makes you realise how precious and fragile they are. My boy went so quickly i just wasnt ready to loose him :(

Hugs xx
 
Oh I am so sorry. I know how you are feeling, as I lost my old boy to colic. One minute he was fine, next thing I had lost him. The vet tried so hard to save him. He was 29. I know you heart is breaking, and I feel so much for you, but you were there for him, and he knew you loved him. He'll always be in your heart and mind. I wish I could make you feel better, but take care of yourself in the days ahead. Lots of (((hugs))) x
RIP little chap, run free now. x
 
I am so sorry, what a terrible shock. He was fortunate to have his mum with him to the end. We are nearing the 1st anniversary of a similar shocking loss. Tears are few now, mostly smiles at the happy memories. Hope it wont be too long before you can think of your wonderful boy with joy again.
