• I lost my husband of 61 years last November 5th and in March I moved from Delaware to New Jersey to be near family. My 2 dogs are adjusting well I think and having them to love and care for gives me a reason to get up every morning!!!

            Linda, I am so sorry for your loss of Chuck 💔 I know how much you miss him. It hasn’t been that long and you are trying to navigate life without him in it. All the things you did for him and with him everyday are now gone and it is so hard to adjust. My boy has been gone for 16 months and I still experience his loss on a daily basis. I miss him terribly.
            My heart hurts for you, and I just want you to know that, in time, the pain will soften. I wish you peace for your broken heart 💔
            Sending you comforting hugs 💔

                  • Linda, I am so sorry for your loss of Chuck 💔. It doesn’t matter how long you had him, you loved him and its very sad when they leave us. Adopting a older dog is such a wonderful thing to do even though they may not have long. Chuck had good last years filled with love while he was with you.
                    Sending you comforting hugs at this sad time 💔
                  • Can I post a link to a website

                            What a beautiful tribute, Leslie Ann. Your song is so moving and perfectly expresses the special relationship we have with our beloved babies – the wonderful love and joy, and the pain of parting. This is just lovely and I thank you for wharing your heart with us. 💔I hope you join our meeting Thursday May 16th – I’d love to meet you. Toni
                            • One more day
                              As the sun shines onto the window pane
                              I watch you sleep in your favorite place
                              Your fur glistens in the soft lite
                              As lthink of all that you
                              brought into my life
                              As you awaken and open your soft green eyes
                              My soul knows what my heart denies
                              Chorus
                              If I had one wish on the stars tonite
                              I would ask the universe for more time
                              Another day, another hour
                              Another moment for us to be together
                              And even though our time will soon end
                              I would still do it all over again
                              Just one more day for you to know
                              Love and kindness before you go
                              My mind accepts what my heart can’t say
                              So until it can, I’Il wish for one more day
                              Verse 2
                              You look at me with your trusting eyes
                              Knowing I’ll do all I can tand sacrifice
                              You know my voice, and my heart
                              We are always connected even when we’re apart
                              I cherish the good days and the rough tear me up
                              I wish I could be sure l’m doing enough
                              My heart breaks knowing our time will soon end
                              However your pain and wellbeing will be put first instead.
                              Chorus
                              If I had one wish on the stars tonite
                              I would ask the universe for more time
                              Another day, another hour
                              Another moment for us to be together
                              And even though our time will end
                              I would still do it all over again
                              Just one more day for you to know
                              Love and kindness before you go
                              My mind accepts what my heart can’t say
                              So until it can, l’ll wish for one more day
                              Brdg
                              Perhaps we will never know
                              What lead your soul to my door
                              A kind heart guides us to those who we need
                              Though who needed who? You or me
                              Even though my heart is torn in 2
                              I promise I will always be with you
                              Our hearts beat as one whether together or far
                              I’Il always be with you whereever you are
                              Forever you’ll be safe in my heart
                              l’ll carry you with me inside my heart
                              Though our time together wasn’t long enough
                              I promise you will know only kindness and love
                              In all that I do you will live on
                              Because your life mattered and you deserved love
                              Despite the pain of saying goodbye
                              My only wish would be for one more day

                                      @sandramorales Danger. What a great name. May we hear about Danger and see some photos? And Sandra, how are you doing now? I am so sorry for your loss and hope you will share with us here. Toni

                                      Angie, again, I am so sorry. Time is distorted when we suffer a loss, especially with Marty being so young. There is no timeline for getting used to the emptiness, but I do hope you are finding some comfort in comforting Tommy and Marty’s momma. How are they doing now? Please come to our group support meeting May 16th – I think it will be good for you to talk with us about Marty, and your feelings. And please keep sharing here in our community. We care and are here for you.
