Robyn, I am so sorry to hear about your losses. Today my 9 yr old pitbull dogdaughter, Panic, lost her short but heroic battle with Lymphoma. I have never felt so empty, helpless and full of pain thus far in my life. For the past 6 yrs she has been my companion and to think of her not being here breaks my heart each time. I knew that I could no longer keep her here for me, she was hurting too much. I had to make the toughest decision I've ever had to make and let her go peacefully. It is just so funny how when we get more than 1 animal when don't necessarily think about how we will feel if something happens to them. I have three dogs in all, two now. One is 11 and the other one is almost two. I often think about how I am going to feel about enduring all of this pain all over again. My pitbull Panic did not have much time left when we found out about her cancer. It was already in a severe stage and even with her chemo I knew it was just a matter of time. I realize though that we somehow get the strength to move on and make it to another day, despite how painful it is. You will make it and things will be ok. You will never forget your children but they came into your life and made their marks forever. Take care

Hey everyone just remember that you gave your furry family members the best life that they had and they are looking down on you sending you their love.

Thinking of you all at your sad times.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Robyn, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will not be the best one to give you any kind of advice. Jasmine has been gone over 3 mns, I still cry, I still get angry that's she is gone. But I do know from reading lost of forums, it does take a lot of time to get over the loss of your furbaby, your child. I can sit and write about her, but if I have to say her name outloud, I break down-we were that close. Coming here and talking, does seem to help-comforting others has helped me cope with losing Jasmine. Cry when you want, scream if youhave to-its all part of the greiving process.
You are in my prayers today and know that Jasmine welcomed Sky to The Rainbow Bridge and now she is free from pain and suffering.
Hugs.
Cheryl and Angel Jasmine

My name is robyn, I'm having a terrible time dealing with grief, pain....helplessness. I just joined this group to reach out. last night, among many nights, i just plain cried my eyes out. down right balling. I was hoping the aspca had a group forum for grieving. I feel very stuck, and having a hard time "moving on". This past summer, I had to have one of my horses euthanized, I hate that word. I buried him here on our property. The following month, I had one of my dear siberian huskies pass away. Her name was sky. She was 16 and a half years old. My belgian horse, Don - was 30 years old. For the first time in a long time, I buried my husky "sky" , instead of having her cremated. It was so , so hard to cover her up with soil. I also had our rabbit, "snicker-doodle" pass away also, she was 8 years old. I have one siberian husky left, her name is "Nishka" - her name is an eskimo word, that means beautiful woman. She is 11 years old now, and her health seems to be quickly deteriorating. I was REALLY COUNTING on leaning on her and spending quality time to help with all the loss I have had, and now she is not doing well. I have spent 1000,s of dollars this past year with vet bills, and she is still not really responding. I can take small walks with her, but they are really "small walks" she doesnt really run anymore. And this is so hard for me.
I have thought about adopting another dog, or volunteering at a local animal shelter, I go back and forth, back and forth of what to do....... to help with all of this pain. and here I am, still stuck, still crying my eyes out...... It is like I can't really enjoy much, I feel like I am anticipating her death, and I DON'T want to do that. I spend time with Nishka when I get home after work, soothing and grooming her, (lightly, as her back end is touchy) I am just plain having a hard time. I'm reaching out into cyber space, not knowing who will read this. But at the same time, I know that every member of this group has experienced this grief. Damn, it physically hurts your heart, doesn't it ?
I have had animals and dogs all of my life, and it almost seems it is getting harder to deal with them passing away. I think it is.
sometimes I think about what it would be like to work at a vet clinic, where you actually see animals being helped. Of course I really cant do that as it would not pay all of my bills I have ! but I could volunteer at a local shelter...... walking a dog........ I'm not sure, I guess I just have to try, and see if that would help my pain.
I know I am talking a lot, I am just really hurting and needed to reach out. I am glad this group is here. I'm a 47 year old woman, I have no human kids, just my children..... 2 horses, my siberian husky - nishka, a little chihuahua-dachsand, tilly, a 3 legged cat, and a blind parrot. It might help to hear what others have done, to help ease the pain ? Thank you all for listening. - robyn

Michaela, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Jasmine was there to open the gate and greet Rekky at The Rainbow Bridge. Jasmine was never much of a ball chaser here but maybe Rekky can show her how.
My thought and prayers are with you as you go thru the most trying time in your life.
Hugs,
Cheryl and Angel Jasmine

Michelle, you are so right. Time does not heal all things....The void in my heart from the loss of Jasmine will always be there. Friday marks 3 months without her and the pain is still ever present and I fear, always will be. The memories of her 57 days of pain and suffering from taking ProIn will forever be etched in my mind.

Mary Ellen, it seems that the passing of time does not heal all wounds....in fact, when love runs so deep, healing may not be the appropriate word. A wound of the heart is not the same as a wound of the flesh. It has been said that the heart does not know time. It's also been said that time heals all. I guess it depends on the individual....I cannot imagine ever being 'healed' per se.... I lost my soul-mate kitty so suddenly with no chance to say goodbye. He was my best friend and he was only 12 years old. I long for him every day.
Like you, I know that I will still be missing and paying tribute to Tristan in the years ahead... and continue loving my other cats, even as I desperately miss my angel-kitty.

Cheers to you and Jake as the second year passes.... I am sure he's waiting patiently for you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Michelle
