With Valentine’s Day coming, let’s write love poems to, and for, our pets! Here’s my first one:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I’ve never seen a kitty
as pretty
as YOU ๐ -

Lori, it takes time to find smiles before tears. Even though we know in our heads our beloved pets are “only on loan” to us and we would not have wanted to miss our times together, in our hearts it hurts so much….I am deeply sad and sorry. We’re here for you. {{HUG}} -

@rose57 Hi Rose. Did you lose Bandit and Jo, or was it one pet’s name? Either way, I am very sorry for your loss. How are you doing?

Cindy, you touch me in many ways: Charlotte looks a bit like my girl who will be 18 in March. I know it’s so terribly gut wrenching to say goodbye, and that we also know, and are grateful for, the long time we had to share. I am personally so very grateful to you for sharing this, Cindy. And very, very sorry for your parting. Yes, Charlotte is woven into the fabric of your life and being, and cannot be forgotten, but must be celebrated! hopefully you are finding smiles before tears with her memories. I hope you will be an active member of our caring community, sharing your own sympathies and understanding with others, It means so much. We love to celebrate happy times, too, so share yours with us. I’m sending you a {{HUG}}. Toni -

You an visit and update anytime, as often as you like, for as long as you like.

Jeri, we have a book/journal in our shop: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/griffins-heart-pet-loss-book/
It was written by Reagan Pasternak – perhaps you know her from her career as an actress – who created it to help her through her own grief of losing her most beloved Griffin. Some of our members have found it helpful, and you may too. We also have a pet grief counselor available if you would like to speak with him:
https://heartfeltfarewells.com/
Of course, we are all here for, and with you, to share your feelings. We get it. We understand. We care. Let us know how you are doing, Jeri. -

Oh Dodi, how nice of you to share your home and heart with Zoey. There is nothing I can think of that is more generous and caring. We’re not in charge of anyone’s destiny, but we can give these charming innocents a good life for as long as they are “on loan” to us and you did just that. It’s seeing them falter, and saying goodbye that hurts us so much. I am so very sorry for your pain. I hope you find smiles before tears in Zoey’s memories. She was so adorable – thank you for the picture. Keep us posted on how you are doing. -

I do not understand your feelings of “guilt”. It seems you did everything, just everything you could for Rocket. I understand we are inclined to feel we could have done more, but what more could you or the doctors have done in such a situation? We second guess ourselves, chastise ourselves for not noticing something, or knowing more, but I am absolutely sure you always did what was in Rocket’s best interest and your feelings of guilt are misplaced. I hope you will be kind to yourself, as you know Rocket would be, and would want for you. Your grief is deep, and raw, and you should be in a puddle on the floor with sorrow (but please, no guilt). Princess Ping Pong is mourning too and knows you share this grief together. You are fortunate to have each other. Euthanasia is a gift of peace and release, a relief from current and future pain and suffering. It takes a tremendous amount of love and selflessness to let our beloveds pass with comfort even though we suffer the loss at the deepest cellular level. I admire you for your efforts over the years, and beg you to never feel a whiff of undeserved guilt. I am grateful to you for sharing the gallery of pictures that show Rocket’s personality and let’s us get to know him a bit, and share your grief. Please accept my sincere sympathy. Please also stay with us as often as you want, need or like so we can be here for you. It’s not much, but it’s heartfelt – here is my {{HUG}} for you and one for Princess Ping Pong {{HUG}}. Toni -
