It has been 2 yrs since I have been at this board. Oh what a lifesaver it was for me, the most horrible thing I could have imagined had come true. It effected me so very deeply. Moose will have been gone 3yrs this Oct.
I wanted to come back here and offer hope, you see, no one could have loved their furbaby more than I loved Moose, he was everything to me and I went through extreme agony when I lost him, it still stings if I let my mind wander back to details. It has been a learning process for me and I just want to let all of you know that it will get better and not sting as much as it does right now. No way around it.....only through it.
There is a reason for everything and all of this is not for nothing. Best wishes and Peace to all. Pamela

Pamela,

My precious dog - Bono - has been gone 1 year this October. I agree with you; time is a great healer, but like you my heart is forever bruised with what happened on the 16th October last year. I also went through extreme agony when my boy died, and I still cry a couple of times a week, or any time I allow myself to think of what happened last year. But I have learned that there is life after grief, and I am sure to remember Bono every day, knowing that the years we had together have changed me, and hopefully made me into a stronger and better person. I think to myself 'if I got through the agony of losing Bono, then I can get through anything'. I'll be thinking of you this October. Please think of me as well. I'm sure the 1-year anniversary is probably the hardest ...

Dear Pamela:

I remember you & your beloved boy Moose .



It has been almost 3 & 1/2 years since my precious girl, Ernie-Bird went to Rainbow's Bridge. She will always be in my heart.

My heart has healed and I am at peace knowing that my beloved Ernestine is in Heaven. It was a journey, and the pain that I felt after having her put to sleep was the worst pain I have ever felt. It does get better - and....you're right, there's no way around it -- only through it.

Dear Gillian:

I remember you and your precious lil' guy, Bono as well. It is okay to cry a couple of times/week - even every day. You miss Bono -- he was your little boy.
I believe that tears are what helps us get through the journey.....


Peace, Love & Hugs to both of you,

Denise

Dearest Pamela,

Your journey with Moose helped me to find my way back to the land of the living in March of 2005 when I lost my angel Amber after nearly 20 years and then again in October when I lost my dear angora CC.

To those who suffer I reiterate Pamela's words...there is hope...we find it in each other and with the bittersweet presence of the angels we have lost to strengthen the shaken places of the soul and bring light and peace to the darkend places of the heart.

Pamela...I thank you for sharing Moose with me he was one who helped save me when I was in a place that was darkened with shadow and stillness...your story and words of understanding brought hope to me as well as a glimmer of the beginning of what would come to be an ongoing journey of healing and learning to live in a world forever changed...yet filled with possibility once again.

Love and Peace Always,
Kathryn
