    When my sister was dying of cancer, she began to see her beloved deceased yorkie roaming the house. Then her husband saw him too. I believe her dog came to guide her home.

      I'm so sorry about your sister. I had a friend who was in hospice dying of cancer and when I visited him to say goodbye, he asked me if I saw his dog at the front desk. His dog had passed about a year before him. I do believe that our pets are in our heaven waiting for us. I just lost my cockapoo last friday and so this thought gives my broken heart some hope. God bless.

      My mom saw our first cat in the house after it’s passing. My second cat stayed about two weeks sitting on my lap and meowing into my ear to wake me up after it’s passing. It made me realize that the energy of the animal (soul) never dies, just the body.

I miss her every single day. opening the door to my house and not seeing her come and greet me makes my heart hurt.

This dog had been with me for over half my life. The unconditional love BOTH our babies gave us is something we can never forget. If you need someone to talk to, I am here to listen.

    "It's just a cat" It's the loneliest thing when you're freshly grieving your lost friend, and there's no one around to take it seriously - to 'hold space' for you. That happened to me when my 6 year old stray cat died of acute renal failure. I sat and sobbed for hours in another part of the house while my uncle and brother made small talk with each other only a few rooms away. Neither of them once checked on me. I don't know if they genuinely didn't get it, or where just too cowardly to deal with me in the state I was in. Hard to forget.
    This was a really important talk for me to hear.

      They are so much more than "just a cat"
      Some guys get it......some don't
      Your kitty is in a place of joy
      They are Lions made just for us, amazing animals beyond what most people know
      Keep in in mind that you gave love,care & respect to a soul that most likely would have never had
      Think of the joy you gave to your little one, you made a loving difference
      That is a key point in life.......you made a loving difference, their existence mattered because of you
      Hold your love for them always, you will be with them again

      I literally just lost my cat, Ebby today due to the same reason. I am still crying right now even after watching this wonderful talk. Ebby was my only best friend because I would always take him with me, into my room and just talked to him about my problems. Now that he’s gone and I didn’t even get to say my last words to him, I am feeling so much worst than i have ever felt before. ☹️😭

      @jennytaylor3324 4 года назад +8

      @@chb8982 I'm so sorry for your loss, honey.
      I have a similar relationship with my present cat. I hardly see anyone,irrespective of any global 'lockdowns', so he's probably more important to me than he should be. He's always there.
      My old cat, who died felt like my only and best friend. We loved each other, and losing her at 6 was the worst grief I think I've ever been through.
      This is only my opinion, but I think if you can think about the bit of yourself you were able to access in Ebby's presence, you might be able to better understand your grief, and what it's made up of.
      What I missed about my cat was that I was able to access the pure, soft child part of me, that no one else sees, and I think losing her made me feel cut off from that connection to ME. What I'm saying is that I think some of the grief is about the animal, and some about how much we are hurting all the time, and the cat gave us the space to connect with ourselves, if that makes sense?
      It's way too early for you to want to do this, but I think, when you are ready, a wonderful way to honour Ebby would be to adopt a stray cat from a shelter.
      I was lucky, because my 6 yr old cat who died was trying to get us to adopt her when my old 24 yr old cat died! She'd been hanging around in the garden for months, and my old cat hated her! The last thing I wanted was to let in a new cat, but you know what, she helped me heal, and I knew I was helping her by letting her in to our family and giving her a home.
      For now, know that Ebby's love is always there in your heart. he is safe and well, and he's so thankful to you for giving him a loving, safe home, when some cats never have anyone to care for them their whole lives.
      Don't fear your sadness. No matter how much it hurts, stay close to your child self and listen to what he/she has to say. It WILL get better with every passing day. Trust me. And one day in the near future you will be sent another cat who needs your love.
      Is here anybody you can talk to about it? If so, talk to them, or just tell them how bad you feel. It will help.
      Take care tonight, and be kind and patient
      with yourself. : )

      Oh my gosh! I had to say goodbye to my sweet Dachshund two days ago. It almost killed me. The next day, while driving home from work, I was stopped, waiting for the light to change. There was a motorcyclist in front of me looking off to the right, up at the sky, and he was pointing upward. I thought it was pretty weird, and I couldn’t figure out what he was doing. As I inched closer I could see he was pointing at a rainbow and it hadn’t even rained! I told my husband “There must be moisture in the air for there to be a rainbow.” I had no idea what the rainbow bridge was at that time, and after reading your comment, for some reason that incident just popped into my head. God used the rainbow for a specific sign. Now I believe that was God, letting me know not to worry...He has everything under control. My Sadie is in the hands of her Creator. Wow. Just had to share that!

The void she has left in my heart is so painful that no word can describe how a feel. I feel broken, pain, anger and always thinking that what if we have done that or that? Thanks for this lovely video, the grief would take a lot of time but nice to feel some comfort after watching this. Rest in peace my dearest Snoekie, I will love you for always and ever one day we will meet on Rainbow Bridge.

    My cat Lacey was euthanized today. She was the love of my life and we did everything together. I would not travel unless she could come with me. Summer vacations were planned with her in mind.
    I walked home from the vet and cried the entire way. Twenty blocks through Manhattan with tears and an empty carrier. I am sure people who saw me put two & two together and knew what happened.
    I know loss and mourning but this is different. This grief is so profound and I cannot even begin to describe what I feel.

      Oh my god I'm, I'm so sorry. My dog, his name is Ozzy, within the timespan of 6 hours he had gotten so sick from cancer, we had to euthanize him. This happened yesterday, one minute he was fine, the next he was about to drop down and croak. That isnt an exaggeration. He was like my left arm, in the sense that he followed me and my mom anywhere we went. I know how it feels, you can't even describe in words how much you love that pet.
      Just something as simple as bumping into a bowl can lead to an outburst of tears, right? But, in the words of my dad, dont frown because it's over, smile because it happened.

      My dog Damon had to be euthanized yesterday afternoon. I knew it was coming, time finally caught up with him and he was deteriorating rapidly. But I wasn't ready for it, no matter how much I told myself I was. It was all I could do to hold myself together long enough to make it to my car. When I got home it was worse. My entire life revolved around him being part of it. We were never apart for more than a couple days over all the years I had him.
      Everywhere I look, every little thing reminds me of him. It was worse today, coming home from work and for the first time he's not there to greet me, I can't go into the living room to pet him and ask if he was a good boy while I was gone. I keep looking to where he would be in the room without thinking before I remember that he isn't here anymore. Everytime it's like having a peice of your soul ripped out. Like there was a hole in me that he filled that's empty now and I feel hollow inside.
      The grief comes in waves, one minute I'm fine and the next there's some little thing that reminds me of him and I can barely hold it together long enough to get out of the room. Part of me doesn't want to remember because it's so painful and part of me wants to remember every little detail and feels guilty for ever thinking that in the first place.
      All I can offer to anyone who is also going through this right now is you aren't alone in your grief and maybe just in knowing that, the burden of it isn't quite so heavy.

It sent goosebumps all over me but i knew it was him saying he's still with me and telling me I'll be alright.
      He was always such a spiritual cat, we used to get this knocking from the flat above after that neighbour was taken into hospital. Two knocks, always loud, always intentional and at night. Donny, my cat, started scratching at the door to let him out so that he could sit outside that flats front door. I knew it was something I couldn't understand but didn't realise why. It was only when the neighbour came back and told me his mom's ashes (she had recently passed) had been taken there whilst he was in hospital, that it made sense. After they were reunited the knocking stopped and Donny stopped sitting outside the door. He was reassuring her that it was okay, he was such a beautiful soul.
      So I know, he would have no problem reaching out to me and it was lovely to hear his meow the other night.
      They are incredible and we will see them again, meanwhile they're having the time of their afterlives!

We decided the vet to do an operation to see his organs. His liver was in pain and all the organs were in a bad condition so the vet suggested our options or to help release his pain. We decided to take him home and asked the vet to come home, we wanted our dog to die at home with us, he wailed his tail when he saw the vet entering, it was his favourite vet and he knew when seeing him means feeling better, i guess he is feeling no pain now....we feel so sad today...

He will never be replaced, and I don't like the words 'get over it' - because that might not be true.. but you will change from feeling the way you do now. Because you and he had such a great love - only good can come from that. it will make you strong - the love will take over for the pain - gradually. I don't know if I will ever get over it either, but I guess we don't have any choice - so know that you are not alone, and I understand.

For me, I said goodnight knowing I’d have to say goodbye in a couple of days, only to wake up to a seemingly normal morning, only for my mom to call me in shock, telling me that my best friend was gone. Like a sister to me. I didn’t cry until I saw her, I was full of disbelief and shock and felt so guilty that I didn’t get to hold her as she passed letting her know it was ok and that she was the best thing to happen to me. I don’t regret every moment I had with her, and while I’d always want to have done more I honestly did so much with her and all I’m regretting is her being gone. It’s been 4 months, but I still feel empty every time I get home from a fun day at school, only to see that my best friend isn’t there to see me.

I used to give her medication every day, so when she passed away, i started gardening, and i have to water the garden every day just like i gave her her medication, and what she taught me about being responsible even when its difficult will never go away. There is room for other love in your life, but it won't fill the same holes, the holes are always there but you learn to accept them as part of you. I still miss her so much but i know she would comfort me if i were sad, so i try to remember what she would have wanted rather than focusing just on my sadness.

    Three days ago, my cat, Simon, crossed the rainbow bridge. I was 16 years old when I found him outside- he was only four months old. We grew up together. I spent almost everyday with him for the last 18 years that I couldn't remember what life was like before him... I know his health was on the decline but this is the most painful thing I've ever experienced in my life so far. Not only was he a family member, he was also my soul cat and best friend. I literally feel so lost without him and miss him so, so much. 😭💔

I know it's not the same as our lost one, but to share our love to our lost one with the animals inneed from the shelter and give them a comfort place to stay has gradually brighten my life. It didn't take me long to end up adopted one of my own. My pain has eased by welcome a new family member.

Don't worry, you did your best with what you were allowed to do, and the vets are mostly lovely, am sure they cuddled her and loooked after her well, so she wont be mad at you! You could try and send her a message to tell her that you love her? I did this and i had a lucid dream where my cat showed me what the vets did with her after I left when she was at the evening vets getting washed and x rayed. In the dream i felt the warm temperature of the water on my skin, she was showing me that she was well looked after as im sure your kitty was too! Just before you go to bed tonight, i know that sounds crazy but if you just relax, maybe do a 5 minute stress relief meditation before bed, and then just talk to her either in your head or out loud, tell her that u love her and will see her again soon. Picture her as vividly as you can in your head when you do this. It might work it might not, but u may get a dream about her that helps you get closure and some believe you genuinely make contact with your loved lost ones this way. Thats what i believe. Anyway, sorry to sound crazy, hope this helps you bring some better closure and have a few more moments together!!

It's a horrible experience that I have unfortunately been through 5 times. But I know that he loved me, and wanted only to make me happy, and that is a beautiful thing. All of the love, laughter, loyalty, and devotion are given to us on credit, and in the end, we pay dearly for it. So is it worth it? I take great comfort in knowing that he spent his life with me. I cannot imagine not knowing him, or how hollow my heart would be had our lives not intersected. Yes it is absolutely worth it! 100 percent. I would do anything for him, including going through this horrible pain and grief. I miss you Louie, more than words can describe.

    January 14th of this year, I had to say goodbye to my miniature pinscher Luke. He was suffering from pancreatitis, and later at the vet developed pneumonia. Since his passing, I've been overwhelmed with guilt. If only I had caught it sooner, or taken him to the vet sooner, or just done everything differently. Everyday since I have cried, held his urn, and told him how sorry I was. I do have some comfort, that upon arriving to the vet that day, he stood up, wagged his tail, and gave me kisses before laying down and passing away. However my heart is completely broken. I believe in the rainbow bridge, and I want to believe my baby is there, healthy, and running free. And someday, I truly hope that when my time is up, I will be greated by him, and my other dogs who one day will follow. I hope he knows how much I love and miss him, and that if I could do it over again I'd be a better owner.
    Luke, I love you baby boy. Until we meet again at the rainbow bridge

    I lost Kuai, my beloved goat to a dog back in June. I was devastated and guilt-ridden because I felt it was my fault for not securing the goats pen against dogs and also she was nursing twin baby goats at the time. She was such a beautiful goat and because of her I bought more goats later and started a small goat farm. She also helped connecting to the local farming community. The story is, she ran off the first day I bought her and before long everyone in the village came to hear about it and was out trying to look for her. She was brought back to me after almost 3 weeks and has since had two pair of gorgeous twin kids. I will love you forever my beautiful Kuai, alive or dead. I promise I will make sure your two orphaned kids grow as strong and beautiful as you were. Wait for me at the rainbow bridge...

    The cat companion I've had for 18 years passed away day before yesterday, 48 hours ago, after an 8-day-long gradual decline. She died peacefully at sunset, with its rays beaming through the window upon us and catching crystals that created little rainbows all over. I know she's gone, but still feels like she's here, and I find myself reaching over to pet her but her spot next to me is empty and it feels like I've lost her again, over and over and over again. I've cried so much every day since I knew she'd be leaving me, and even more since she's gone. People who've not gone through this have no idea of its profound pain and sense of devastating loss, and alone-ness. No more does she purr me to sleep as our days ended, no more does she give me the morning greetings that started our days. To all suffering like this, my heart goes out to you. God bless.

    I lost my cat just this morning 21/7/19 at 06:25 and she was the only cat I ever allowed myself to love again after the death of my cat that I had for 12 years 2 years ago. I feel lost and as if I have nothing left. Most people I meet don't seem to understand the bond between humans and their pets but the unconditional love my two cats have given me is better than any human could. The only thing that holds me together in these times is the thought of them together up there and that I will see them again. Some people may find it silly but I really wish for the existence of a 'rainbow bridge' or kitty heaven, where I can see my angels again. Miss you dearly and forever will. R.I.P. 😿

I'm just taking it one day at a time but sometimes it's hard to know how I can go on. I don't have a partner or children so me and her were a family unit.

Mom & 2 pups froze to death. "Specks" was last to be adopted, by us & quite by accident. My husband is having a difficult time. We had thought her arthritis got worse when she suddenly started limping really bad. Vet did x-ray & scans to find she had bone cancer in leg, shoulder & spread to lungs. In just a few days she can't walk hardly at all. It's tho I'm having to put one of kids down. May our sweet spirit rest easy till we can walk together again. She has had a wonderful life.

    I lost my cat three nights ago. He got sick pretty quickly and I had to take him to the ER vet on Thanksgiving night, he was suffering, couldn’t breathe, and I had to make a decision I was not prepared for at all. I’ve been completely grief stricken. Even as a trained end of life Doula, have helped many friends with this process, I have been helping being cross over for decades, I have personally lost many loved ones and other pets, but this was so different. I had taken Titus in only about a year ago, but he was so very special, and he brought such joy to the rest of our home, communicated in such a unique way.
    I set up a kitty hospice at home, for about a week, playing healing frequencies, sending him reiki, but he quickly became so ill, it was such an emergent situation, I had to race him to the hospital on a dark rainy night, and could hear his cries, through the halls, as We both went into shock.
    I loved him so deeply,and was so connected with him, that I could feel his fear, and pain, and I became unhinged.
    I have so much guilt for the very final moments, not being able to comfort him, as he had lost so much blood, (anemic and lymphoma) that his body went into shock.
    I couldn’t keep it together, I tried, I promise you, by the time he had the first injection, I felt him slip away, and then felt him leave with the second one, before she confirmed it.
    Holding him, while this happened was extremely difficult, and I feel like I should have done so much better, but I wasn’t prepared for that yet, I was taken by surprise - I’d thought he just needed a treatment of some kind and we’d go home and have another month together.
    Leaving without him was surreal, living without him had been extremely painful, I haven’t gotten out of bed all day today.
    RIP sweet boy, thank you for sharing your life me, your sissy, and brother and kitten. I can’t wait to see you again.

      I lost my dear friend Nila, who was with me for nearly 13 years, in the exact same day. The pain truly is something terrible, but it means there was much love there. I hope your pain gets better with time and that you can always remember the good times with her.

      Mariana Machado thank you. My condolences to you and your family. You know exactly how I feel right now. Absolutely, the happiest memories are keeping me from losing it in front of strangers. I hope our fur kids are playing together along with so many other dogs and cats that have transitioned. I can’t wait to reunite with her when my time comes. 🥺

    They are our True soul mates. Heart To Heart. The purest Love on this Earth. Our pets teach us about death. When I lost my dog Lady when i was 9, ...helped me to cope better with losing my mother at 12. Death is and always will be around us all. Animals understand when its Their Time. Acceptance. A natural course of life. I've had all my dogs die in my loving arms. The greatest Love i have ever experienced. A Gift. Love is energy and does not die. We will reconnect again one SWEET day through that Awesome Love. Their waiting.

    I lost my beloved cat yesterday morning and I am completely heartbroken, it feels like some part of me has been ripped out and lost forever. She was there for our family through some tough times, like another soul giving us comfort that everything will be ok. She was more than a pet to us, she was like another member of the family, always there. She had become ill a short while ago, but something gave inside her and it was time for her to go. The little things like being at the door, in the window, meeting me on the drive, lying on the bed, on my lap, even her usually consistent meowing. I haven’t even had the strength to watch this video yet, if I ever will. We had lots of good times, but I am eaten by guilt that if I ever ignored her when I was tired or never gave her the attention I should. Only a cat some might say, but anyone else who has had this bond will understand. I like to think her spirit is running free and happy somewhere in a garden, where she loved to be and that one day I can hold her again. She was a gift to us and helped us through times when we struggling. To all those in the same position, I hope time will heal us all🙏

    Lost my beloved cat last week. She was very sick and needed help to leave via euthanasia. I know Lola is just fine over the rainbow bridge, however I am in human grief for her loss. A little loving cat who was with me for 13.5 years meant more to me than many people I know. 💔

    I lost my kitty Sunday. I’m so devastated. Sudden, and random. I miss her so much. I feel like I’ve lost my child and I’m waiting for her to come to me. I don’t want to be without her.
