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
