Hi, All. I recently started posting here after the sudden death of our beloved greyhound Britney Boopers. The support I've received has been incredible and incredibly comforting and helpful.
Two things happened recently that I believe were God's way of helping me through this. The day after Britney died, I prayed loudly to God to help me deal with this. I was begging. Beseeching. That very day, the enormously heavy grey cloud that was over me very suddenly lifted. It was so sudden! I also felt a rush of strength. It was a palpable, tangible feeling of strength that rushed into my body. It was a feeling of brightness that I felt in my whole being. It felt like a river of bright strength coursing through me. I attribute it to God answering my prayer for help. The next day (yesterday), I was driving to do some errands. I normally play my cds when I drive. I NEVER listen to the radio. But, yesterday, I decided to turn on the radio instead. The first thing I heard was a commercial advertising some sort of research or conference or talk show on how to cope after we have lost a loved one. STRANGE, I thought. I flipped to another channel. They were playing the tail end of Beyonce's "Halo." I had never listened to it before, but I was listening now! The lyrics from the part of the song I heard: Everywhere I'm looking now I'm surrounded by your embrace Baby I can see your halo You know you're my saving grace You're everything I need and more It's written all over your face Baby I can feel your halo Pray it won't fade away Chorus : I can't feel your halo halo halo I can see your halo halo halo I can feel your halo halo halo I can see your halo halo halo Hit me like a ray of sun Burning through my darkest night You're the only one that I want Think I'm addicted to your light I swore I'd never fall again But this don't even feel like falling Gravity can't begin To pull me back to the ground again I can't feel your halo halo halo I can see your halo halo halo I can feel your halo halo halo I can see your halo halo halo WOW!!! Well, it gets better. The NEXT song was Hall and Oates' "She's Gone." Lyrics: Everybody's high on consolation Everybody's trying to tell me what's right for me My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon but it's plain to see that they can't comfort me Sorry Charlie for the imposition I think I've got it, got the strength to carry on I need a drink and a quick decision Now it's up to me, ooh what will be Chorus: She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd better learn how to face it She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd pay the devil to replace her She's Gone - what went wrong Up in the morning look in the mirror I'm worn as her tooth brush hanging in the stand my face ain't looking any younger now I can see love's taken her toll on me She's Gone Think I'll spend eternity in the city let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away and pretty bodies help dissolve the memories but they can never be what she was to me She's Gone OH MY GOSH!!!!! Have you had similar experiences? Signs from God or your pet? |

Losing a loved one certainly does put life into perspective doesn't it?
I used to put work first. There were days when I should have been at home with my daugther when she was sick. There were days I should've been home because I was sick. But I always had to come into work. When Lily died, I had to be here the next day to do payroll. I was so distraught at losing her so suddenly the night before - all I did was cry all day. And now all I have is resentment for my job. I hate it here. It no longer comes first anymore. There are still times when I have to be here, but I will never put this place ahead of my family ever again. When Lily died it opened up my eyes. I knew I loved her with all of my heart and soul, but when they are taken so suddenly like she was - your whole world turns upside down. I know there are some people who will never understand the unconditional love of a pet or know how it feels to give back to them - they are missing out on so much. I actually feel sorry for them. It hurts like crazy when we lose our loved ones, but I would not trade one second of the time I had with them. I am not a religious person, but I choose to believe that there has to be something more than this. And I hope with all of my being that I will be with my angels one day. I miss all of my babies (and there have been quite a few over the years). I thank everyone here on this website who have offered wise advice and comforting words to me over the past four months. It is so much appreciated - you can never know how much I have needed all of this. Thank you. |
