    I died when he died in my arms October 30 2020…now im just merely existing. There is no life without him
    • Brenda, I am glad you are here with us. I am so very sorry. But, while sympathy can help let you know someone cares, it may not lift the grief. When grief has engulfed you, you are in it’s control. Hence your feeling of “exisitng” rather than living. If you can create a memorial, you can place your memories of the lives you shared in it – all the happy and sad times – and know it is always there for you to comeback to. A memorial can be a box of favorite items, a place in your home or yard, we have a special area for memorials here in our community. No matter how you memorialize, it helps to give your grief a home away from you. This is not a replacement of your memories. You will always remember him, but it can open the door for you to allow joy and love back into your life. If you feel guilty thinking of being happy, ask yourself this: If the roles were reversed, wouldn’t you want him to enjoy the rest of the life he has ahead? I’ve written a poem I hope lends you some comfort that I will share, but want you to stay in touch with us, Brenda. We really do care.
      • We are all Angels
        But now I have wings
        We play in the clouds, and everyone sings
        So don’t be unhappy, I’m always above
        To shelter and guide you
        And send you my Love

        Jill, You should post a tribute on our Memorials area. That gives you a dedicated place to add your memories and thoughts as they come up to free space for Bella and the happier things in your life. It’s like a “worry box” where you store concerns and can visit when you choose, only it is a celebration, too. Pictures are easy – even I can do it and I’m not terribly good at that kind of thing: there is a camera icon that says photo in the lower left of the “Comment” box. You simply click that and select your photos from your files. Let me know if you need help with it. Or anything else.

          It’s actually Cassandra Josephine went by Cassie Jo. She was a toy poodle. Peanut was a chihuahua. I wish I had pictures of them unfortunately I don’t. How do I add other pets I’ve lost? Thank you.
            • Becky, sorry it took me so long to get back with you. You can add more candles the same way you did before, but now you have a User name. Let me know if you have trouble.

              @beckyw Hello Becky. Is it Cassie Jo, or Cassie and Jo? What type of pet was Peanut ? Are you doing okay? You are welcome to share photos – we love to see them. Please accept my sympathy for your losses.

                          @janice Janice, I am sorry for your loss of Angel. I think she would send you this message:
                          We are all angels, but now I have wings
                          We play in the clouds and everyone sings

                          Janice, please tell us about your life with Angel, and share some pictures if you can. Let us know how you are doing. Okay I hope. Toni

                          @mommy2twins Hi Maryann, and welcome. Please tell us about Princess and Picasso. What kind of pets were they? Did they live with you at the same time? May we see some pictures of them? How are you doing?

                          No Valerie, oh no….How could someone do this? When I was eight my dog Moses was shot by a nasty neighbor and like Joe, he made it home but died. I am just heartbroken with you. Please tell us how you are coming along and how we might help you. I am giving you a huge HUG.

                              Margaret, I am sorry you face such a difficult decision. I know it hurts terribly to be parted. Since you have to find new homes, here is a useful resource: Go to the “Find Services” tab at the top of this page; enter your zip code; use the drop-down menu to find Rescues & Shelters in your area. If you need more help, let me know. And please let us know what happens with your babies. They will be matched with loving homes, I am sure. Sending you my best wishes.
