Shaved my daughter's head tonight

At her request. I thought she'd want to save the hair, but she didn't. Wasn't much there anyway -- she had more when she was born, I think. It's just so hard to believe -- in the beginning of the summer, she had a full head of hair and bushy eyebrows. Now she's bald and losing the eyebrows too. Anyway, I just had to come somewhere and share where people would understand. I'm just so sad. She cried a little bit, but not too much. She's getting a cold too, so that didn't help her feel any better. And I have to put my poor old dog to sleep this week. Not a good week...

Sorry to be such a downer!

I'm so sorry about the loss of your dog, we had our dog put down almost a week ago now still doesnt feel real. My mum also shaved my hair almost a month ago now, I also wanted to get a tattoo of a bluebird on my newly shaven head (but unable to due to eczema) I think its something we something we have to go through that'll help with the acceptance of the loss. I hope she know we're all here at any point she feels ready to talk :) all the best for you and your daughter :) xx
