That sounds purrrfect and lovely, Martha. And you know what? Let the ‘kids’ do the work this year. It’ll be good for you to get out of your house. Please let us know how your holiday was. I hope each day you are feeling a bit stronger. {HUG} -

Oh Martha, I am so sorry. And I understand, we all do – it hasn’t been very long and holidays make everything so much more intense. I would be surprised if you WEREN’T crying still. Even if you don’t host the holiday, can you have your family with you? I’m sure they understand, don’t they? Maybe you could go to them this year…..Well, I’ll be here all holiday season so you feel welcome to share with us here. And, I have been, and will be thinking of you. Toni-
I will be my family Christmas morning for brunch at my niece ‘s. But, I usually have them Gere sometime between Christmas and New Years. I am not doing that this year. Just can’t get the house ready and prepare the meal.-

I’m okay. Her crossing was just over 4 months ago! She was my heart dog, and we had 15½ glorious years together! I joined to post a candle in her honor.

Thank you for sharing your touching story with us, Randy. My sister’s dog had cancer and she made the loving, generous choice to let him go peacefully, as you did with Ranger. You were thinking only of what was best for him, at the expense of your own feelings. We’ll never know what happened to Axel. It sounds as if something was wrong with him, and yes, maybe whatever it was, was compounded by his grief….we don’t know. But I am sure they DID enjoy a wonderful life full of love and joy with you. Please always feel welcome to share with us, and if you open your hearts and home to more loves, we’d love to hear about them, and see photos. And Randy, if you read posts that move you, please share your sympathies and comfort with others – it means so much. I am glad you are in our caring community. Toni -

Lori, you ask how you ‘handle’ the pain. You ARE handling the pain, but not really …IT handles you in that the pain is not a feeling, but a state of being. I think it’s a cellular part of us, just as Max was such a deep part of you. But, the love is also a part of you, as are the memories of how you gave comfort to poor little scared Max, and he gave you such important lessons. What a powerful give and take you shared together. How fortunate was Max, and all of you for sharing the time you did. Every living thing will die – leaves that decorate and feed trees are like our beloved pets – they feed us love, happiness and make us better, but they have to “jump off” at some point, leaving behind the tree of support and strength we shared with them. As a friend says “they are only on loan to us”. It is more than painful to part, in a way that is not comparable, but Lori, what a wonderful gift you and Max shared, don’t you think? I think you and your family are magnificent – you have loved and lost so much, and yet you give more, love more, and of course when you open yourselves up, you can ‘lose’ more. But Lori, would you have it any other way? I am so, so very sorry for your parting from Max. And I am so happy for the love you gave, and got. You have my deepest, most sincere sympathy and appreciation. Please, stay with us and share your feelings, and know we are here with understanding and nothing but kind support. It’s not much, but please accept my {HUG}. Toni -

“Accept” you? We are just like you – we have all felt the deep pain of parting, and understand how little things (for me, seeing the pet food aisle) can trigger big emotions. And, while time does help, there is no set timetable for grieving. So yes, Terri we sincerely welcome you and hope you will be an active contributor with updates about how you are doing, and if you read posts that touch you, please extend your own sympathies to others. we love to see photos and hear stories about all of your pets so feel free to share with us. I’ll be thinking of you. -

Thank you so much. It’s been a little over 2 years since I lost her and my life hasn’t been the same. Some days are really hard still. Thank you for accepting me.

Oh Lori, I have tears for you all. Yes, the pain is deep within, at a cellular level unlike any others. What a terrible time of year, too – these darn holidays make everything so much more intense. I am, we all are, so very sad and sorry. When you are up to it, please tell us abut Max and your lives together: how you met, what you enjoyed together, things Max did….any and all that you would like to share. It may not be much, but I am sending you my heartfelt {HUGS}. Toni - Load More
