Lynn, one of the hardest parts of loving a pet is watching them age or fail. It can be hard to know when it is the right time to let them find a peaceful passing, but I have found saying goodbye to be a good thing for them, it’s when I come home that starts the grief. Do you have any others or was it just Jazzy and her brother? Do you have family and friends to help you? I am so sorry and will be thinking of you, and hope to see you tonight in our group. {BIG HUGS} Toni -

Hi my name is Suzann and I\’m new to this community. I lost my sweet beagle Mandy Tuesday afternoon (10/17/23) and my heart is broken. She was my best friend for 10 awesome years. She was the sweetest dog I\’ve ever had. I miss her terribly and I will never forget her.Sorry for so many pictures, but it\’s so hard to pick just a few.

Thank you for the warm welcome and the invite to the group. It’s very hard to lose a pet. Mandy wasn’t just a dog, she was family. It’s only been 2 days and I’m still hurting a lot. I went to give my son’s dog a treat earlier and I automatically grabbed 2 then realized that I only needed 1. I cried. I tried to join the zoom meeting but I got confused on the time. I’m in central time zone so I was about 20 minutes late. Sorry about that.

I’m so sorry for your loss -
I was sorry to miss you, too, Suzann. We meet every third Thursday at the same time and the link is always under “Events”. Mandy was clearly a family member, and probably everyone’s favorite, (who is the young man holding her in his lap?) and that contributes to the depth of the pain in parting. This is the hard part of opening our homes and hearts – saying goodbye. We know in our heads that one day we will, but our hearts are just broken. May I encourage you to think of the many fun, funny and loving times you and Mandy shared, to lend a bit of comfort that she lived her best life with you, and for that, you can be happy. Please let us know how you are doing, Suzann. We’re thinking of you with sympathy and undertsing. 🤗Toni

I’ll definitely be there for the next meeting. Yeah Mandy was definitely our favorite. The young man holding her on his lap is my son Steven who will be 23 on Nov 1st. Saying goodbye is definitely the hardest part about loving a pet. I just hope she knows how much she was loved and she was happy with us. Every time I’d leave even just to check the mail when I came back in she was so excited to see me. She’d jump and run around squealing and whining like only a beagle can. I have so many pictures and videos of her and that does bring me some comfort. I just miss petting her and snuggling with her.

Suzann, here is an idea for you, and Steven – write a note, or notes, to Mandy telling her how you feel, what you think, and are doing. Then, write back From Mandy what you think, and feel, she would want you to know. It may sound silly, but it helps us communicate, and gain perspective that can help ease some of the pains. Let us know if you try it, and how it makes you feel. I hope it helps you to know we are here for, and with you, with empathy and care.🤗💔Toni

Hi Toni! I’m doing well, thanks. I lost Marq 2 years ago, but I still miss him every day. We survived my abusive marriage together. We had such a special connection. I’m just figuring things out on here, but I will post pictures soon -

Oh Brandi, I am so, so sorry for your loss of Jazzy 💔 I know how devastated you are feeling and my heart hurts for you. It’s only been 4 days and you are still in the beginning stages of grief. The very worst time in my opinion. Take care of yourself and I hope you will find some peace soon. Sending you comforting hugs 💔 -

That’s a lovely way to move through the grief and pain of parting. If we can pull forth moments of joy and fun, and love we shared, it can help remind us why we welcomed our darlings into our lives.Will you join our kind group meeting this Thursday? We’d love to hear more and are here to help you. The link is under “Events” on the right side of this page. I’m sending you {HUGS}. Toni -
