Pet Bereavement Support Group
The loss of a pet or animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss, comparable with the death of a loved one. Whilst there is strong evidence that animals can feel such loss for other animals, this community focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed.
You have my deepest sympathies.
I hope the pain eases for you soon. I am still stuggling fiercely as I was the one who let Fluffy out.
I hope your mom's pain eases with time. It is alot to overcome!
Here is a special poem for you and mom...
With heavy hearts; and a tear in our eyes
after all these years; we must say goodbye
Please understand; we've done all we could
if there was anything we could do; you know we would
I'm sitting right here; gently rub your ears
while I talk to you softly; trying to hold back the tears
The memories you gave us; we'll never forget
especially the ones; of the day we all met
One last hug; and one last kiss
you have no idea; how much you'll be missed
To look into your eyes; this one last time
you tell me it's time to let go; you know it's your time
Close your eyes now; and go to sleep
we'll pray to the Lord; you're soul he'll keep
Go in peace now; our good friend
I'll stay right here with you; until the end
Dream of that special day and time
when we'll meet again; and all will be fine
We'll be together again; side by side
with a soft warm feeling; deep down inside
Your memory will live on; wherever I am near or far
Never forgotten always in my heart you are
Have a safe journey; through the night
I promise when you awake; you'll be in God's light
So with heavy hearts; and tears in our eyes
just for now my friend; we say goodbye
My thoughts are with you.
