Not sure how to handle a loss
Symphony - Symphony's Flaming Dawn in full - became my wife's horse in 2004, when she graduated college.
She was a lifelong horse nut, rode Symphony for lessons, and had been saving for her, until her parents bought the horse as a graduation present.
They've been inseparable ever since, and I entered as horse hubby 7 years ago. Well trained, I can groom, tack, help coach dressage and arena jumping.
Yesterday we got home from a weekend out of town, and an hour later got a call that Symphony was dead.
Autopsy revealed sudden aortic aneurysm. I'm doing alright I guess, but my wifeis understandably a mess.
I'm not new to grief, compassion, or being a good husband but I am new to losing a horse. Any suggestions on how to proceed with the coming months of horse-related everything are welcome.
