  1. You have so much strength and courage to tell us your story. Thank you for sharing with us and thank you for showing us just how heroic your precious Lilly has been. I can only imagine how traumatic and difficult this has been. I could feel the pain and angst through your words...You have every right to feel upset, angry, sad...Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You have such a special bond with Lilly and when we love, we hurt. Lilly was a fighter, a soldier. And I am confident that she is still with you; she will never leave your side and she will forever be part of your heart. You take good care of yourself and know that we are all thinking about you. Please keep in touch (angie@RespectAnimals.com). We have all experienced the passing of our angels and while we've each shared our own unique experiences, we've all been blessed with the love of our companions. As you search online, you'll come across so many beautiful ways you can pay tribute to Lilly. One that I found extremely helpful after my Montey passed was to create an online memorial (free) in his memory. The website is www.ilovedmypet.com. Feel free to visit Montey's tribute at www.ilovedmypet.com/Montey. You are in my thoughts and in my heart.... -Angie
  2. Your experiences have touched my heart to such deep levels. I am so sorry that you have had to go through what you've been through, and I am so sorry to hear that your precious Hannah has passed. Please know that we do understand how difficult it is to lose our companions. Each of our stories are unique, but what brings us together is our love for our angels and these special bonds we've been so fortunate to share. It's understandable why you're feeling guilty. At this time you're entitled to feel anything because it's such a difficult time. Please do know, that I believe you have been so, so, so incredibly strong by the decisions you have made. You gave Hannah such a great life while you were with her by your sheer love. You ensured Hannah had a great home with her adoptive family, and she did. She saved a baby's life and in turn will be rewarded for eternity. She is truly an angel and I have no doubt in my mind she is with you, guiding you, shedding tears with you, laughing with you, and most importantly, loving with you. Please do keep in touch. I am here to talk about whatever it is you're feeling. Feel free to visit my Montey's tribute at www.ilovedmypet.com/Montey. He is my precious angel who passed away on January 2, 2004. You are in my thoughts, heart, and prayers. -Angie (angie@RespectAnimals.com).
  3. Oh Becka, my heart really and truly goes out to you. I am so sorry for both your losses, Sandy and Teddy. They both sound like absolutely beautiful and wonderful companions. I know that this is all so fresh right now. My words to you would be this: let yourself feel, let yourself cry, let yourself do whatever comes to you. People may or may not understand what you're going through - but bottom line is, you're allowed to feel anything. Give yourself the time to feel that you so deserve. Both of your best friends brought so much to your life - that I can tell just from your post. I can only imagine how much they taught you. I'm sure they helped shape who you are today. That makes it impossible for them to leave you Becka...they will ALWAYS be a part of who you are, and will continue to guide you in unbelievable ways. That I am sure. You know, you can definitely feel free to keep in touch with me. I know that I found that helpful after my Montey passed away on January 2, 2004. He was 17 1/2 when he passed away....I'm 24, so he was with my throughout my entire life as well. You're in my thoughts Becka....Your Sandy and Teddy are in no more pain. They are so grateful for all the love you shared with them...but the bond is not over. When you love so deeply, how can it be? You take it one day at a time..... -Angie angie@RespectAnimals.com www.ilovedmypet.com/Montey
  4. To Klever's Mom, First off, my heart reaches out to you now, as I know how deeply painful it is to have our precious animals part. I will keep you in my thoughts and know that your baby Klever is right with you - in a different way. You had asked for ideas on how other people have coped...the only thing I can say, is grieve at YOUR own pace. So many people just don't understand this connection we have with our companions. But that's okay, you know what you shared with Klever and Klever knows what he shares with you. Bonds like that don't ever break. The only other thing I'd say, is keep your heart open. I have no doubt in my mind that Klever will continue to show you his presence in the most unbelievable ways - if we're open to receiving it. My Montey passed on January 2nd, 2004 and since he has 'communicated' with me in his own special way. It brings me comfort....And he continues to guide me through his spirit. Just follow your heart, and don't let anyone force you to move faster then you're ready. Klever wants his mommy to be taken care of. Thinking of you...You can definitely email me if you want to talk some more. Take care . -Angie www.ilovedmypet.com/Montey (Montey's On-Line Memorial)
  5. On-Line Memorial For Montey Hi Everyone, I continue to read the posts on grief healing often...not that it helps to read of others' suffering, but the comfort comes in knowing others shared such beautiful bonds with their companions. I just wanted to leave a link for an on-line memorial I created for my sweet Montey who passed on January 2, 2004. I'm continuously trying to find ways to deal with and channel these waves of emotions that don't stop. If you have time, drop by and take a look. Perhaps you will find creating a space for your precious ones comforting too. -In loving memory of Montey Angie "Faith is daring the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see" www.ilovedmypet.com/Montey
  6. Robin, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and Katie.... I know there are no words to say to you right now...It's a time where you will find your way to cope. Every person experiences loss differently, but there is no pain deeper than losing that one who was the closest to you in the world. Katie is still with you, in a different form yes, but her spirit will always be a part of you because you two were too connected to be separated. Take it day-to-day sweetie and don't let anyone tell you that you're crying too much or mourning too much...Katie understands that you need to feel right now, and that's all that matters. Again, you and your sweet one are in my thoughts. -Angie
  7. Oh Mona, I felt your pain so deeply as I read your message. I know that those images and that day will be forever in your thoughts and heart....I can only speak from experience to say that the same images that frighten you, can comfort you. Being right by Primo's side made it easier for him to pass...he had your blessings to go. I send you and your family as much strength and comfort as I can in this message. The similarities between your situation and mine which happened on Friday are quite striking, so if you're ever up for chatting, let me know. -Sending my thoughts and comfort....Angie
  8. Thank you so much for your response Kathy...what you said makes sense. I feel like I'm getting stronger each passing moment and am coming to peace with his new phase of life. It hurts more than words can describe, but I am finding sources of comfort here and there, which is better than before. Your response is one example of this...thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I hope you are keeping well as well. Take care. -Angie
  9. I know this is quite sometime since your post, and I wonder how you're doing now?
  10. My dog of 17 1/2 years Montey passed away right in front of my eyes on Friday January 2nd, 2004. He was my best friend, my other half, my everything...he still is. I have my moments of strength and then I just fall apart. I know this is all normal, but it just hurts so badly. In his last two months of life he was extremely ill and I gave up everything..work and school..to care for him around the clock. I was with him literally all the time for so long and now he's gone. Every little thing in my house reminds me of him and it hurts so so badly. I know he's no longer suffering but I miss him more than I ever knew was possible. I wake up and wonder why..what's the point without him? I feel guilty for smiling, I feel guilty for doing anything..when I know he wouldn't want me to be this way. I understand all the 'rational' stuff, but it doesn't matter to me right now....
