Hi everyone,

I really thought I was doin' better, but tonight I broke down. It been since July 19th that my bunny is gone, and I just lost it all over again... I just heard "Tears in Heaven" by Clapton, and that was it........ I'm a wreck again, after I thought I was getting over it....

Hope you are all OK, I'm sending my love to everyone. It hurts, but I know you guys understand.

Geese

I totally understand. It is hard that sometimes seemingly out of nowhere a wave of grief hits. My thoughts are with you!

Thanks for your reply. It helps knowing that this is not a thing that is weird!

It is normal for that to happen. Tommorrow will be 13 weeks for me. Out of nowhere yesterday I had a good cry. It is just part of healing and moving on. I hadn't cried in a few weeks.
Continue healing!!

Hugs!!!!!!!!

Thanks Sissy Cat,

I know I'm not alone. Hope you're doing well.

Dearest Geese, I am so sorry that you're hurting so badly from the loss of your precious fur baby bunny. How gosh awful that I just added "Tears In Heaven" yesterday to the many songs and poems I have on my Alex's tribute thread in the other forum. I sure hope that's not where you heard the song that brought it all back to you. Even though I did write an upbeat introduction before the song, it is still so sad and I'm going to go delete it right after I post this to you so it won't affect anyone else so adversely. I feel so badly for you, Dear One! Please, let me try to make it up to you whether or not you heard it on my Alex tribute thread.

This is the most beautiful song of Blessings that I have ever heard in my whole life and I'm a pretty old lady. The video has very beautiful and uplifting images, too. I wish to give these many Blessings to you and your cherished fur kid bunny at The Rainbow Bridge and I pray it helps lift your spirits.







Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby. Back to the years of Loo-Li,Lai-Ley. And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow. Bless you with love for the road that you go.

May you sail fair to the far fields of fortune with diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet and may you need never to banish misfortune. May you find kindness in all that you meet.

May there always be Angels to watch over you. To guard you each step of the way. To guard you and keep you safe from all harm. Loo-Li,Loo-Li,Lai-Ley.

May you bring love and may you bring happiness. Be loved in return to the end your days. Now fall off to sleep. I'm not meaning to keep you. I'll just sit for a while and sing Loo-Li,Lai-Ley.

May there always be Angels to watch over you. To guard you each step of the way. To guard you and keep you safe from all harm. Loo-Li,Loo-Li,Lai-Ley. Loo-Li,Loo-Li,Lai-Ley.



Sending Many Angels and Comforting Hugs to You and Your Beloved Fur Kid Bunny!!!

Always,

Hi Geese, It' been 87 days since my loss. I've cried 87 days. And I have to hide it. A co worker just got a cat. She asked me if I ever did a certain thing with Arthur. I talked about it without a problem. After she left, it hit me hard, I miss him sooo much. Music, I still can't listen to music at all. If it's around me I have to tune it out, just for that very reason you had experienced. Every day's a struggle. I've been trying to do a lot of pretending lately, don't know if that's making things worst. You may be doing better than you realize. Just had a little set back. It'll happen from time to time.. Your not alone and we all understand. Keep well..Hugs.. Ann

Hi Dottie,

It wasn't your song I heard, I just heard it on the radio. Then I went to You Tube and added it to my favorites, so I can cry when I need to. Thank you for your thoughts, though. It's a tough road to travel, especially because they meant so much to us and gave us so much love without ever asking for anything in return.

You just taking the time to respond to me is so nice. I appreciate it greatly. I know it'll get better, but when it hurts, it hurts so bad.

Much love to you.... Geese

{{{{{{{Geese}}}}}}} I'm glad to hear it wasn't my Alex tribute song and video that brought you tears. How wonderful that you went to Youtube to add it to your favorites. Indeed, it is a tough road to travel, Dear One.

Of course, it will get better. It takes time. All the time you need. Please know I'm lighting candles for you and your precious fur kid bunny. Sending many Angels for Comfort, Guidance, Peace and Love!

I'll go ahead and add that video back to my Alex tribute then. It does have very beautiful images and not really sad at all except for the lyrics. Did you know that Eric Clapton wrote and performed "Tears In Heaven" for his 4 and 1/2 year old son Conor Clapton when he died? It helped him so much, too! I pray that one day it will come to help you just as much to cope with your loss, Geese.

Tons of Hugs and Much Love to You, Too!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Thanks Dottie,

Yes, I did know about the meaning behind that song, and I know when he wrote it, it probably helped him heal. That was so very tragic. Such a loss is unbearable.

Once again, thanks for your kind thoughts, and I send you mine as well. You seem like a very sweet and caring person, and it helps me to know that even though you don't know me, you're good thoughts are there.

Thanks so much again!!!

Love Geese

One thing that many of us have found in our losses is that grief can not be measured in hours, days, or months. It comes and goes at will, lessening gradually in time but usually not suddenly or smoothly. It is something we endure and learn to live with as we take strength from others to help us through the difficult times. I wish I could say that one day you will wake up and the grief will be gone forever but that rarely happens. It has been several years now since Daddy Cat died and I still get choked up looking at his photographs and remembering. In spite of the pain involved I believe that we grow as individuals by going through these trials. One thing it did for me was to make me have a greater love and appreciation for my remaining furkids and to cherish each day I have with them. That is the legacy we take from our losses. We have little control over death but we can face it with grace and love. The good memories will always remain.

Take care,
Ken Albin

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your response. I know what you mean. I have another baby, her name is Poof. She will be 19 on Sept 16th, and she is still goind strong!!! I've had her since she was six months old, so we've been together a long time. I know she misses her brother, but she has grown even more affectionate since he's been gone. I think she's gonna be around for a long time, as she thinks she is still a kitten. I love her more than ever, and I appreciate her more since my baby Max left us. Only in the way that I cherish every moment with her, not that losing him made me feel that way, it only magnified the impact of losing one of them stronger.

I will always remember my precious buddy, and I've had cats all my life. So I know what you mean. Pictures can make us cry, but hopefully, one day, they will be happy tears of all the good times we had together......

Geese

I don't know how to keep these topics fresh, but it seems like once you write something, you get a few responses, and then no more.

I am not going to post anymore. Thank you all for your help through this rought time. I truly appreciate all the love and support I've gotten from people who don't even know me.

Much love and best wishes to all........................

Dearest Geese, here's a poem that I posted to my Alex but have changed just two words for you and your cherished bunny fur baby. I pray it brings you comfort, Dear One!!!
