Exactly as the title says. My dog is old and arthritic and in a lot of pain, so my family (who he lives with, I live a few hours away) is going to have him put down. We’ve had him since I was a kid and it’s hard for me to imagine life without him. I want to be emotionally prepared but I’ve never experienced the loss of a pet before. I also want to be strong for the rest of my family and not need too much of their support, because they live with him so it will be harder on them than it is on me. But I just feel kind of overwhelmed.
TL;DR Dog is being put down soon, would like advice on how to anticipate and cope with the loss
ETA: Thank you to everyone who has left such good advice and well wishes. I don’t know if I will be able to go home in time but I asked my parents to hang on to his favorite toy for me. It hurts a lot right now but we will get through it.
