Dharma and I live in Johannesburg and my beloved and beautiful 6 year old Dharma was deliberately poisoned by Africans who wanted to break into my cottage to steal while I was at work. They came in the night and hid poisoned meat in the garden. Dharma found it and just a lick was enough to kill her. She was my whole life as I couldn't have children and am divorced and now I feel as if I have nothing to live for. The cottage is so empty without her and I sometimes wonder why I bother going on - there seems to be such evil out there. She was a gentle dog and everyone who knew her fell under her spell. The hardest part for me is that she died alone, and not in my arms.

RE: Coming to terms with Dharma's murder
hello lin.i know the pain you are going through the terrible way your dharma died.7 years ago i had a cat called penny she was so sweet and trusting, i put her out one night as i had always done next morning she was always waiting at the door to be let in this morning she was not there, i kept calling for her no answer imagine my horror when i went to the garage and found my penny lying there dead, some evil scum had shot her, all i kept thinking about was what she went through and the guilt that i put her outside.please lin remember you have got alot of friends on gts that will help you through this sad time you have helped me cope with the loss of my beloved shula with the lovely candles you have lit on her memorial.remember lin you are not alone we are here for you.

RE: Coming to terms with Dharma's murder
Dear Lin
Grief takes time, we never forget we just slowly learn to live with our grief, you have to take one step at a time, please do not feel guilty for not been there, I felt terrible when I lost Perseus 3 weeks before my husband, I could not be there as I stayed in the palliative care unit, I know that not been there hurt inside, still today I cry but it is not our fault.
I wish I could give you a big hug, I know to well how it hurts, like yourself I could not have children, I do not have family here and my dogs are my life
With love
Geraldine
