Tana, Thank You. Thank you for sharing so honestly and deeply. Our community is here for you, your husband, and please let your daughter know – we are here for her, too. Zoe was, and if you allow her to be, still is, a major source of support for each and all of you. She is not physically there but you know darn tight well she is still with, and within you all. They say “Be the person your pet thinks you are” and I often think of that. Zoe knew each of you as the heroes you are, and I hope you keep and honor her spirit knowing that. What a charming photo. Please send us more, and please share more with us. I am, we are, thinking of you. Toni -

I am sorry, Martha. What a darling girl Molly was. How long were you together? As we heal through our grieving, it helps to recall the fun, funny and loving times we shared, but there are always those moments when you look for them, expect to see them come say “hi”, or reach for their food and it hits you – I miss my baby, That’s a great moment to allow yourself to think of them and cherish the time we were gifted to share. Let us know more about Molly, and how you are doing. Toni -

Barbara, As a fellow adopter of senior animals, I thank you for sharing your experiences, insights and knowledge with our Community. If we can help others, we’ve done a good thing. One thing I’ve learned and take to heart is that, while we love them so much we don’t want to let them go, we love them enough TO let them go, especially in a peaceful fashion if we can. Apache Princess is so fortunate to have you by her side as she ages, a loving companion who pays attention to her needs and provides the best of care for her. You are really a gift to her, too. You must keep us posted about her, and please share more of your experiences, and kindness. I am sending you both {{BIG BIG HUGS). Toni Oh, please try to join one of our online group meetings. -

Lola, No one can answer your question but you – “How to tell him”. Do you think it would be kinder for your brother if you wait until he’s released? Perhaps you can make a photo collection for him so he has that. You can post a lasting memorial for Angel in our Memorials tab. If he asks about Angel, you wouldn’t want to lie, but my inclination is to not bring it up unless he does. Let’s see what others in our Comunity say. I am sorry for the loss of Angel. What a little darling. Toni -

Fifteen years, 100 years – it’s never long enough for us to be with our darlings. Leigh, reading how small and sad Sammi was when you met, and how much love and fun she had with you, I hope your many memories of the good life you shared bring you joy. Sammi was so happy for her life with you and I am sure she wants you to be happy, too. Each day can you think of, maybe write down, a fun or funny memory? I find it helps to deliberately recall those. Our group meets tonight at 7 EST if you would like to come share with us. Link is under “Events”. Toni -

@shianne Suzanne, Thank you for kind words of sympathy, and THANK YOU for sharing your thoughts that you may have waited too long for dear Spirit. You have done our community a service by sharing that. I had lunch with a friend whose cat had a mass similar to Walter’s that ruptured. My friend told me “Toni, she was in agony. Don’t let that happen to Walter”. I heard and heeded those words every day and it made the decision so much easier, knowing Walter wouldn’t suffer the unneccessary pain his beloved cat did. I may have waited too long last year with my Deanna “Beauty Girl”, too. We learn to let go before they needlessly suffer and I hope you find comfort for yourself knowing Autumn Ranger and Saraya received the best of your love in letting them go. You are a kind, loving pet person and I am truly grateful to have you in our community. My best wishes and thoughts are with you. Toni

Thank you all for you soothing words of kindness and understanding, not just for my loss(es), but for each and everyone here in our caring community. It does help to both hear from others and share my own sympathy for your losses. I am choosing to recall the fun, funny and sweet things Walter did and was. He was better longer than he was ‘bad’ (unwell) and I am so grateful he was doted on, adored, cared for and loved as his life wound down. And I am deeply grateful for this community. Thank you 🤗Hope to see you tomorrow in our group meeting. -

Penny, I am so sorry. I agree – the silence and emptiness are oppressive. It’s so strange and shocking to walk in and no one is there to greet us. I love the tatoo idea. What a charming way to honor Donnie. I posted a memorial here on the site in tribute to Walter. It was hard gong through the photos and videos without crying, but that’s a good thing – it releases some of the grief. I say “Joy shared is joy doubled, grief shared is grief halved”. That’s why we share in our group gatherings (join us this Thursday evening). And of course you love Donnie more than your kids – he wasn’t a teenager :-)…. Keep in touch and let us know how, and what, you are doing. And thank you for your sympathy. {{HUGS}} Toni - Load More
