not eating

last night i posted that my dog had passed away. i am taking it really hard. i only slept 3 hours last night and on top of that today i only ate a couple bites of food. i know i need to be there for my baby and i really am trying but right now I'm really depressed. that dog was my best friend. i need help. I'm not hungry but i need to eat. how do i make myself eat and enjoy it. my mom had me out and about today but i am still really sad and i cannot stop crying. i was crying shopping for baby things and in the car. i just need something to help me eat and get through this. I'm worrying and I' am really trying. any suggestions. if you are going to be a rude bunch of hormonal ******* and "state your opinion please don't. all i want to hear are nice things right now i need to get through this without people being rude.

we don't know. she got out of our yard and when she came back she was walking weird and we thought she got into a fight. so when my brother was about to put her in the truck she passed she just stopped breathing. it was so horrible. idk what kind of people would do such a thing. she never barked or growled at strangers. she was a very social dog and liked going up to people and get petted. she was such a great dog i don't understand either. thank you.

my babys father got her for me 6 years ago the first year we dated and i had her since. someone poisoned my poor baby and when we were about to take her to the vet she died. i about lost it and she always slept next to me. and this pregnancy we got even closer. she followed me around and was always their in my bad times. she was a sibirian husky wolf. i miss her very much and its just really hard idk what to do but thank you. I'm going to try all these ideas guys. I'm scaring myself but i am trying really hard anything i can. I'm just hurting right now and i need to try to be strong for the baby. but she was more then a pet at this point she was my best friend. :'(

Ensure is ok. And at least you are trying. Try crackers and chicken broth as well.

Oh this makes me sad.  I couldn't imagine losing one of my fur babies. Grieve your loss, dear. But don't forget that you do need to take care of yourself in the process as hard as it may be. Focus on that. It really is okay to grieve. I sometimes still get sad over our family cat that passed nearly 3 years ago when I was 21. We were 4 when we got him. Don't forget to eat as hard as it may be right now, just think of it as a chore that you must do no matter what.  I hope you feel better soon.

Have you tried keeping a snack food around you? A filler? Maybe a bowl of popcorn or a bag of cereal? Just eat pieces here or there until you feel better and appetite forces you to eat? Im sorry for your loss, and these are just suggestions. Just remember, you gotta feed baby, especially now when it depends only on you

I'm sorry for your loss, I can say on the 18th I went into preterm labor and lost both my sons. Not only did I lose my bestfriends, I lost my children, the loves of my life, my everything, my world, my life, my heart. I haven't eaten a meal since the 17th. Been snacking lightly here and there but that is it. Can't enjoy food. It is important you do eat for baby, so have you tried ensure?
