I just wish I could get the tears under control. It\’s been 3 years since my girl crossed over the rainbow 🌈 bridge. I just think of my Meesha and the tears start rolling.-
It’s been 6 years since by babies left us and I still get teary eyed. I have since rescued two more cats and I love them just as much as Buster and Princess. I remember the special moments with Buster and Princess and it makes it easier. I would like to think that they are happy that I rescued two more cats. -
Did you know tears have different chemical compositions if they are from joy vs. grief? It’s true. We literally “cry out” our feelings. So, while you are still feeling grief and the tears just come rolling, it’s a cleansing thing. There is no time frame for healing, but there are ways to help move ourselves along through it (and we must go through it, not ‘around’ it). You may find journaling helpful (https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/griffins-heart-pet-loss-book/), or want to speak with a grief counselor (https://heartfeltfarewells.com/). Also, would you like to tell us more about Meesha and your lives together? It’s helpful to share the fun and funny stories, as well as the challenging and sad parts with us. We understand, relate, and are here for you. For as long as you want and need us. And don’t feel guilty if you find yourself smiling and laughing with memories – those are the memories Meesha would want for you. {{HUGS}} -
What lovely stories, Geri. While they are only “on loan” to us, our pets weave deep and meaningful fibers into our beings, and we never forget them. But, with time, we do find smiles before tears with our memories. I am absolutely convinced that non-human animals are very gracious and generous and want us to love and bring comfort and joy to as many pets as we can. And we ARE capable of loving over and over again, without diminishing any of the loves we’ve had before. In fact, losing our beloveds teaches us to treasure every pet even more. You are very kind to open your home and heart to others, and to share with us here. Your kind words of support, care and understanding to others in our community really mean a lot, Geri. Thank you for sharing your stories with us. Keep us posted about your new darlings, with photos if you like. Toni

That’s right. In fact, the older, the better. My girl will be 18 in March and every day I love her more. -

I would like to ask some of these type of people "How would you feel if you were set aside by your family because you were too old?"

That’s one of the hardest things. Hearing the silence. Wishing you comfort and peace during this difficult time. -

So cute! My big puppy just had her first real snow days and she couldn’t get enough eating all the snow. She even started rolling in it 🤗. -

Hilary, any good news about Scarlet yet? Do you think she was ‘catnapped’ or is hanging out with someone? -

Oh Darlene, I am so sorry for you all. It’s so hard to lose a beloved family member like Leo. Is he wearing a bowtie? What a cutie. There is such a conflict of intellectually knowing he is not suffering, and the absolute heartbreak of saying goodbye. It’s good you and Trixi are there to support each other. I hope you will find comfort. May we see more photos of Leo and Trixi? Keep us updated, please. {{HUGS}} -

Oh, this picture brought tears – her sweet little face. Compere, thank you for sharing with us. I know you are relieved for the end of Kee’s suffering, but are just torn apart inside. I hope you are doing things to bring good memories that bring you some comfort. Keep sending your images and feelings. Here is a big {{HUG}} for you. -

Awwww….what a cute guy. I am so sorry. Do you typically have bearded dragons? We’d love to hear more about them if you would share. Do you have other pets now? Please let us know how you are doing. -

Thank you for the update, Hilary. Not what we wanted to hear, nor what you want to report. My neighbor’s cat was away for ten days and sauntered back in, and I’ve had a cat and dog who were gone for over a week and both came home the same day. So let’s stay hopeful. You are all doing your best and I know we all are sending positive energies your way. Keep us posted. {{HUGS}} -

Thank you Toni and FF community! Scarlet is not home with us. We had a bunch of snow this weekend (well, for Delaware that is 4-5 inches). It did cover everything up making searching a bit tougher. But it really cranked up our investigation of any fox holes or anything where Scarlet could go deep or under something. We have checked the parcel of land behind our house again and again. Our dear friend (you know that “family” member who isn’t blood but is like family) got us in touch with some pet communicators/ psychics. We searched based on their suggestions but no luck. It wasn’t anything that was a revelation but they seemed to think Scarlet was still alive so it gave us a day of hope. Nikki surprised us and came down from NJ yesterday so we spent the day rummaging through the woods and anything that an animal could maneuver itself into. No luck. We have left, however, no stone unturned…..literally. -

I’m so sorry that you’re dealing with this loss. I’m sure that it is very hard on Trixi being without Leo. It’s good that you take her with you more. She really needs your extra attention right now. And it’s good that you have her to lean on as well. Animals grieve just like we do. Leo was absolutely adorable. Sending you prayers and healing thoughts. Can you post a picture of Trixi too? Sending her loving schritches.
