Hi Russ,
I love your pictures of Sarah, she was beautiful. I lost my wonderful cat Tank a week ago today, so the grief is still incredibly raw and so painful as you can imagine. Sometimes I wish I never had dogs and cats in my life, it hurts so much when they go.
I have found these forums very helpful in the past when I suffered losses. Just knowing you are understood and that you can open your heart out without judgement is a precious thing.
Unfortunately my husband sees this as a negative thing - that I am wallowing in my grief and making it deeper. Not possible, of course. But, I actually feel guilty being on here because he is so disapproving. And friends and family all think - it's been a week, she ought to be moving on, getting over it. I think we are the healthy ones - the ones who are able to feel and express our grief.
I hope you are having a better day and the heart you found gave you some comfort. These little signs - often rainbows and butterflies for me - can be so uplifting.

Take care,

Jane

Hi, Russ, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing, and for sharing the picture of your beloved Sarah - - and the heart in the sand. There is no mistake that your beloved Sarah led you to this place on the beach at that specific moment in time so that you could find this heart in the sand to let you know her sweet Living Spirit is always with you.

I wish there were some magic words I could share with you that could ease the sorrow in your heart, but I know all too well that words are inadequate when our hearts are missing and grieving the physical absence of a beloved companion. Still, I hope somehow the words I share with you offer you some measure of comfort, support, encouragement, and hope.

I hope today is treating you kindly, Russ, and that you will have a peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Sarah's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Russ, and please let us know how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
