I'm too sad to help husband grieve our dog. Give advice to this Hax question.

Carolyn Hax can't get to every question she receives, so every week we ask readers to think like an advice columnist and submit their advice. Out of the many great responses we receive, we select a few standouts to publish on Wednesdays.

The dispatch was datelined 'AT THE FRONT LINES IN ITALY, January 10, 1944.'
