Thank you Lucky Nono's Mom for your message.I have just come in and the pain was so terrible that Taggy is no longer here .I think this site might have saved my life and my sanity. I went out because I couldn't bear to stay in the house.It hurts to go out into the garden because she is buried there.I don't Know how I can bear it. I know what you mean about some people not understanding how it feels.I so want to believe that Taggy is in heaven. I do have 2 good friends nearby who are animal lovers too. Before i could send messages, i read a message that someone and got their husband to dig up their pet because it had started to rain .I knew then that I wasn,t going mad because the first night I found it unbearablethat she was out there in the rain and dark.What also upset me more was that she loved to lay in the sunshine and I had been waiting for a sunny day so that even though she had gone blind and was ill , she wanted to go outside.The day after she passed away, it was warm in the garden and so wished I could have given her a las t day.Thank you also DeeDee for your message. i will write again later.Grief is so tiring I feel like I'm carrying a heavy load around with me. There are some other feelings I am having that I wonder if others have experienced

I'm so sorry for your loss! How are you doing today?

There's nothing as excruciating as grief.

I definitely believe Taggy's in heaven, experiencing only bliss. She's not experiencing pain or distress of any kind. And you'll be reunited! In the meantime, your life in a physical body continues, and maybe you can even save and love another life sometime, in Taggy's honor.

But I know it's hard right now. Please keep in touch and share some more and let us know how you're doing.

Love and prayers,

Kathy

Taggy is not in the garden. Her spirit is at the Bridge now and she is not in pain, cold, or suffering in any way. She may come to visit you just to check in or she may lay in the sun with our other furkids. Either way, you will see her again because your bond with her is strong. As Elizabeth Kubler-Ross said, death is not the end but only the beginning of life. From all of her experiences with dying patients she became certain of this. Our spirits transcend this world and I truly believe that our furkids' spirits do the same. Taggy has only left you for awhile and will romp up to greet you when you two are reunited. Please take courage from that and let your grief turn to joy over the happy memories you have of her until the time you hug her again.

<hugs>
