It's Been A Year...but I Miss Her Like Yesterday Options

[Hailey-Comet]

Hi All! It's been a while since I posted but it's comforting to see familiar posters.
I helped my best friend cross the bridge 2 days after Christmas last year. I was afraid my kids would corralate her death with the holiday and ruin it for them forever. Well, they were fine this year but I was a mess. If it wasn't for them, I would have slept my way until New years.

It's weird...her Bday was in November, & I was sad but I bought gifts for my other fur pets and had a little "party" celebrating her life. But Xmas brought back all the memories of her agonizing health decline, her undefeatable spirit and the excruchiating pain of saying good-bye.

Do anniversaries ever get easier?

Do anniversaries ever get easier?

The Holidays brought me different feelings this year than last years did. Last year, I was still numb and was barely existing emotionally.......more like on auto-pilot and I really don't remember much about them. This year was like totally feeling everything about Goliath's loss in an awake and feeling state. I do understand only too well why these feelings pop up when they do. This year we put the Christmas tree up and as I hung each ornament I couldn't help but feel tears fall as I remembered my sweet Goliath. I think last year I was still in denial about Goliath's death.

I don't know if anniversaries get any easier or not. That remains to be seen. On Goliath's one year angelversary, I thought about him and only him all day long. That day when he left me with the angels and returned to Heaven will always be with me...........never to be forgotten.

May all your beautiful memories bring you nothing but sunshine in the future. Having these furloves in our lives brings us such joy and enriches our own souls so much. I can't even imagine what my life would have been like if not for the love of Goliath. One day we will reunite just as you will with your precious Hailey & Comet.

Hugs of peace, love, and comfort,
Beth
