I am so sorry. Cynthia. It’s good you have the other two. Did you meet Cocodrie after Boogie passed? Does her name have a special meaning? Toni -

I know our energy release from our physical bodies – I saw it when my mother died – and I believe energy lingers around for awhile before being dispersed and absorbed into other energies. It’s not unusual to have dreams of a loved one that are VERY real, or to”see” or “hear” them. Whether or not that’s manufactured by our owm brains or externally from our beloved “reaching out” to us doesn’t really matter, does it? No matter your belief/s find comfort where you can.

Thank you for sharing this, Brony. And isn’t it true? We suffer the loss and agony of parting, but must remember the many joys and endless love we shared. It reminds me of my “ruler” exercise: Think of your time together as a ruler with each year being an inch. Only a fraction at the end was bad – the rest was just pure delight! This is a lovely poem and I invite others to share poems and sentiments that inspire, move or make them smile 🤗🤗💕💕Toni -

Exposing the belly means she trusts you and is comfortable with you. She’s a very pretty girl 🙂 -

Yes, I agree. When we force things – anything – it doesn’t seem to work out. “Waiting will fill”. I was trying to connect with a foster about 30 miles from me who has mama cats and kittens to adopt but we just couldn’t seem to connect. That was my sign that it wasn’t right, and is what encouraged me to go back to fostering with our local shelter. And, just as with humans, there are some with whom we have a deep, strong bond. So love your little Valentino and enjoy these times together. Just as no one will ever replace you, no one will replace Henry or Murphy. But our hearts are expansive and can make room for more love. Thank you for sharing with us, Lori. I hope you’ll continue to do so. {{HUGS}} Toni -

@kiara Kiara…What a beautiful name. May we hear about Kiara, see some photos, and hear how you are doing? I am so sorry for your loss 💔Toni

Kiara passed away just over a week ago at the age of 2 and a half. She was a wonderful little kitty who overcame medical struggles. Her dead came suddenly on Tuesday morning. It was unexpected. She passed away quickly by the time we got her to the vet. We miss her dearly and it has been hard dealing with her loss.

I am so sorry for your loss of Kiara 💔 Saying goodbye to our fur babies is never easy and losing them so young is even harder, I would think. She was too young to go over the Rainbow Bridge. So sad 😞
Sending you comforting hugs 💔 -
I believe your never too young to cross the rainbow bridge. The rainbow bridge honors lost pets. You will see her again.

Pam, I am so sorry. I have said goodbye to three sweet babies in this past 1 1/2 years – two were mine and one was a friend’s whom I accompanied to the doctor. In each case, knowing it was in their best interest, I felt good letting them go comfortably. The minute I walked in my house, now that’s a different story. No one came to greet me, their things were harsh reminders that they were never going to use them again, and the house feels so empty and quiet. That is the hard part for me. The only thing I second guess is did we wait too long to say goodbye? That’s so difficult to know but I do know it was done out of love. Four weeks is not a long time, there is no timeline for grieving, but I hope you find some comfort sharing with us, and knowing you did what was best for Andy 💔.
Our group meetings are the third Thursday each month – Sept. 21st coming up – and the login links to all meetings can be found under the “Events” tab on the right of this page. Please join us. {{Toni}} -

I would never recommend someone open their heart and home again until they are ready, but I think the universe has other plans sometimes. Ten days after my BG died and I was still very much in the depths of grief, Boots came into my life and turned me around. His youth, energy (and I mean HIGH energy), sweetness, curiosity, willingness to learn, and desire to play – just the vibrancy of life – made me realize that BG had her time and now it was time for another love. Like you, Lori. I think of my darling, beloved BG every day and somtimes cry, but Boots gave me the kick I needed even though I thought I wasn’t ready. Boots has gone back to his mother and I am ready to begin fostering again. -

Oh, it DOES help to know our pain is understood and that others care. Your kind words mean very much. There is absolutely no proscribed time for healing from grief. As we’ve discussed, we crawl through it together. Have you tried writing a letter to Romeo, telling him your memories and feelings? You can also write what you think Romeo would want you to know in a letter from him to you. You might find some comfort doing either, or both, of those. Let us know if you do. We’re here for you, Maureen, always with open arms. {{Toni}} - Load More
