Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
thank you EssTee for your post. I didn't reply when I first read it because I couldn't see through the tears to reply properly, or think straight for that matter.
Kerbear, thank you. I am ok. It has been 5 days now and I miss her like crazy. I have had unexpected house guests for the last 3 days so that has kept me somewhat distracted and busy which has helped. Now that they have gone and I'm sitting here alone with the kids already asleep I'm really feeling her absence. Our other dog has been howling. He has never howled but every meal time, he eats and then starts howling. They had their routine - eat, lick each other's bowls/faces, sniff bums (you know, dog stuff!) and now he's on his own. It's heart breaking hearing him.
We have to wait another week or so before we get her ashes back, and I think it might hit me again.
Time to say good bye to a much loved family member
Oh Megan it sounds like you are having such a rough time and so is her best friend. Thinking of you and I hope in time it gets a little easier. I don't know what I would do if I lost one of my fur babies, I feel for you xo
