I actually do know how you feel. My soldier was killed too, keep your head up and kick ass to those who are cold and make disrespectful comments.

hugsss

Ugh, I have been getting that same thing. My sister died very unexpectedly at 35 last month, and I work in pet care. So many people have tried to liken their dog/cat/hamster loss to my sister's passing. People just don't know what they are saying... Head high, hon, it DOES get easier with time! Remember him fondly and keep his love in your heart always!

I'm sorry for your loss. Sometimes, people don't know how to respond to death and say something inappropriate. I'd give her a second chance.

These comments pissed me off to the point I made an account just to make this comment maybe she's never lost anyone close to her, maybe she was caught off guard, maybe she didn't know how to respond at all so she simply said what she said anyways it doesn't really matter she obviously didn't mean to be hurtful nor was she trying to get punched or start a fight On the other hand sorry for your loss

i feel your pain i had a felow marine die over in afghan my heart is with you and so are my pryers (evan know i dont know who you are) it dont matter though i pry 4 all who have lost someone in this war i wish 4 the best and i hope she will understand what she said to you soon

Maybe OP doesn't understand how much that lady loved her dog. Who's to say that dog didn't mean more to her than your husband to you? After all, it meant little enough to you to share it on FML, whereas that lady only shared it with you.

Sorry for your loss she is an idiot. Lol.

She was married to the dog. No but really, I would be devastated if I lost my cat. My fiance would too be a true heartbreak. I look at losing a pet as losing a family member or child. It sucks both ways.

I lost my husband the same way. Usually ppl don't know what to say when I have to tell them. But I think I would have slapped the bitch who compared the loss of a spouse to that of a dog.
