**PLEASE do not tell me to get help, I have gotten help and am doing very well**

I lost my beloved Peanut December 5th, 2016 to pneumonia. Today, me and my fiancé were driving to the grocery store when a song came on the radio. It was the last song I had listened to before Peanut died. As soon as I heard the first few notes, tears started rolling down my cheeks as for that 3 minutes, I thought about Peanut and how happy she is now. When we got home, I went out to her grave and cleaned her headstone and pulled weeds around the gravestone. Tomorrow, I'm going to buy a hydrangea to plant above the headstone.
 
Huge hugs :hug:
It's perfectly natural, grief affects us in many different ways and affects everyone differently. I don't find it weird at all, it's a lovely gesture you are keeping her plot well kept and buying a plant for her gravestone, it shows that you cared for her so so much and loved her dearly. Massive hugs again from across the pond :hug: xx

Thanks Tim. I discovered there's a tree that would block the hydrangea from growing properly, so I'm going to plant tulips instead.

if you didn't feel anything with that song I would have said you need not a help but a serious help! Coldness is not natural and is even dangerous. On the contrary what you feel is GOOD, natural and demonstrates you are healthy and also a very good person (sorry, I am not able to chose the correct words, but I hope you can understand as well what I mean..):hug:
 
I still cannot listen to one particular song that played whilst I took my dog to be cremated 5 1/2 yeas ago. Something about it, among the other songs that played, just got me right in the heart and I cannot bear to hear it.
 
"Yellow" by Coldplay always has me sobbing, I used to sing it to my beautiful Barney cat who I lost nearly 9 years ago.

I cry at a lot of songs that have memories of when my children were little also.

I think it's quite normal :)
 
I lost my Nigel about 6 years ago now and still cry without fail whenever a particular song plays.
 
I still cant listen to a particular song that came on the radio while I was taking Bramble to the vets for what I thpught would be to put her to sleep, luckily the vet had other options for us to try and shes doing ok now but I still cant listen to it!
Sorry you lost peanut x
