When I look at the little pink marble case that contains Daisy's ashes, I am filled with grief. I cannot believe that this is all that is left of my beautiful baby. How can my little girl be inside there, when she was once here, full of life and joy.

I believe that her soul is in heaven, but I want her back here with me to pet and love. The pain remains unbearable.

Daisy's Mommy

It is so hard. I, like you, believe that she is in a good place, but it is very painful to be the one left behind. The pain lessens with time, but grieving is such a hard process. Daisy knows she was loved, and you gave her a great life.

I felt the same way when I stayed with my dead dog for a few minutes. after he was euthanized. I kept stroking his paw thinking about how could he be dead when just a minute ago he was alive. I have his photo in a nice plaque on my living room wall and I look at him and think that he shouldn't be there, but should be in my living room sleeping on the floor.

Even though it has only been almost 3 weeks since Meiko passed, I do not feel any less sad or have any less pain. I know that it is going to take a lot of time for this to pass.

We will never forget them, and will always love and cherish them. Someone told me the other day that I need to be thankful that I had to him as long as I did to love and love me. Those years gave me many happy memories, but I think that is why it is so hard to let go. I am lucky for the memories and all of the moments that we shared. I hope that one day I will see him again.

You WILL see him again--guaranteed!!! We will ALL see our beloved pets again one day, never to be separated again. What wonderful days those will be!!!

I've been feeling real low the last few days, too.

Maybe something about it being a holiday weekend.
