Oh Carol, how hard this is for you – not being able to say goodbye. It’s never easy, even when we can. You say Chester is not in pain now – was he ill or ailing? We wish pain free peace for our loved ones, and I am glad with you that Chester is relieved and released. But darn it, the pain is deep within because the love is too, and Carol, it takes as much time as it takes to move through it. Little things trigger big emotions, like seeing a favorite toy, or passing where they liked to sleep…. One day you will smile before the tears with a memory of Chester. You may find “Griffin’s Heart” helpful – it’s part book, part journal and some of our community members have found it very helpful. (It’s in our shop). It hasn’t been very long since you parted and I hope you will share more about Chester, and keep us posted about how you are doing. Here is a {HUG}. Toni -

Kody was SO darling, Stephen, and it has not been very long since you said goodbye. I am so sorry, and know you are in pain. Hopefully you will allow yourself the time to grieve, and be kind to yourself. When you are up to telling us more about Kody and your lives together, please do. Was Kody a Beagle? The coloring is carmel-like, so maybe a Cocker Spaniel? Stephen, let us know how you are doing. Toni -

I am so sorry for your own challenges, Aileen, and understand how much Maggie meant to you as a friend, and a significant companion. I bet we all have 1,000’s of photos, and I really hope you will share some more with us. There is a story, and a lot of personality we get to know, from pictures, and if you would add context to them, we’d love to follow along. And I hope you will become an active and ardent participant in our community – I’m pleased to meet you, and to get to know Maggie a bit. 🙂 -

Oh my gosh, Aileen – Maggie was stunning. I’ve never seen a white sable German Shepherd, and now that you have shared this photo, I see how special she was. Her sweet eyes and face make me sad, too, but how wonderful for you both to be together for so long. Darn it – they are only ‘on loan’ to us, and that’s the hardest part of loving. But oh what great fun and joy you two shared! We’re here for you to share more photos, your stories, and of course, your feelings. Please accept this virtual {HUG}.-
yeah thank you soo much Toni I had several GSs in my life but I knew she would be my last one . I have MS so she was kind of like my therapy dog too. Im soo thankful for the time we had together and I have LOTS of pictures and videos 🙂

Pamela, I am so sorry. Was Mason a Russian Blue? He’s gorgeous. How wonderful that you both enjoyed a long, loving life together. It really hurts to say goodbye, and I hope soon you find smiles before tears with your memories. If you want to create a lasting memorial to Mason, click on the Memorials tab on this page. Please let us know how you are doing. -

@ncr320 Hi Nannette. Was Oreo black and white? Do you have pictures you can share with us? What type of pet was Oreo? We’d love to hear about your lives together. I am so sorry for your loss, and hope you are doing okay – are you?

Aileen, Thank You for sharing with us – we understand the heartbreaking part of fulfilling our promises back to our beloved friends to whom we committed, that we won’t let them suffer, and what you did was only in Maggie’s best interest, not your own. You are Maggie’s angel, too :-). I don’t know what a white sable German Shepherd looks like. Do you have pictures you can share with us? We do welcome you to our caring community, and if you scroll through some of the posts here, and read some that touch you, I know your words of sympathy and understanding will be welcome and meaningful. I hope each day you find smiles before tears. I know Maggie’s birthday may be tough for you, so please….know we are here for you, and are thinking of you.-
thank you how do I post a picture of her?

There are no good ways to say goodbye but, dying in our sleep, or being held by a loved one, seem to be the kindest ways, to me. In that, you were both lucky. It hasn’t been very long for you, Rosemary, and I hope you allow yourself to grieve as you need. Please let us know how you are doing. We’re thinking of you. -

Oh good. The author, Reagan Pasternak, is an actress who had a really hard time when Griffin died, and had to write this book/journal to help herself move through it. (You can listen to my Paw’d Cast interview with her by clicking the purple microphone icon on the upper right side of this page if you like.) It’s a good way to get out feelings and I think will make you feel better. But Martha, I hope you will embrace the fact that you shared your love and a wonderful life with Missy, and as sad as it is, our pets are only “on loan” to us. That’s the really hard part of loving, and being loved, so much. Let us know how you are coming along, and when you use the book, please let us know how it helps.-

@loriann Hello Lori, and welcome to our caring community. I am very sorry for your loss of Jessie and wonder how you are doing? How long were you together, how did you meet, and how long has it been since you parted? We’d love to see pictures if you like. Please let us know how you are, Lori. We’re here for you.

Martha, I am so sorry and still say it hasn’t been very long since Missy passed, and of course you are still very much in pain. If you want to journal and have a supportive, kind of ‘guided’ path through your grief you might find the book (in our shop) “Griffin’s Heart” helpful. Others in our community have found it helpful. But I think you are doing just what you need to – acknowledging and sharing your pain with people who really ‘get it’ and feel your sorrow with you. I’d love to hear more about Missy and see more pictures, and get to know her better. You are in my thoughts and I am sending you endless HUGS……-
Thank you. I will check out Griffin’s Heart-

Oh boy, Rosemary. This really touches me because she and my old girl (17 1/2) could be twins. I don’t think mine ever had kittens. Did Shirley’s babies look like her? How long has it been since you said goodbye ? We know intellectually that she enjoyed a long life of loving with you, but boy, it just hurts so much… I’m thinking of you and sending you hugs….-
Thank you so much for caring about my Shirley. Yes most of her kitten’s had alot of black on them. Sadly I just lost her on September 13th, 2021. I held her, talked to her and kissed when she passed on.I miss her so very much.-

Oh, what a sweet face, Ann. She must have been adorable in her shirts. I hope you share some pictures of her in them. I know what you mean about ‘everyday’ things – a toy, a blanket, the pet food aisle….they can all trigger grief that wells from deep within. Smiles are mixed in there, but it will be awhile before your memories bring smiles before your tears. We do understand and are here for you to share your feelings and stories about Daisy Mae with us. We want to know how you are doing, so please keep us posted (and share Daisy Mae in some shirts if you can). I am sending you my sympathy, along with others in our caring community. - Load More
