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? |

Something weird happened today.
I bought a little book on pet loss with some exercises in it. One was to ask yourself what your pet would want you to do, if they could tell you. I asked myself, the answer came to me straight away from nowhere, I didn't even think about it, Frankie wants me to love myself in the same way that he loved me. With the same devotion and care. Then, later, the book suggests that you ask your pet for a sign that his/her spirit is present. So I closed my eyes and visualised my beautiful dog, and asked him for a sign. Immediately, absolutely immediately, and I am not kidding here, the dog who lives 2 doors away just suddenly starting barking madly and joyfully, as if he was trying to tell me how much fun he was having! Instead of crying, I burst out laughing, and kept smiling for a very long time. It was definitely a sign and he was telling me he was having a ball! I am very reassured that I can talk to Frankie any time I need to, and he will be there for me. He also keeps sending me little "presents", really nice little surprises that I don't expect. e.g. just one example, I looked at a skirt in a shop several months ago, but never had time to try it on. I've looked at it several times since. Today, I walked past and there was a sign "clearance" and the price was marked down from $129 to $90. Not bad, I thought, and bought it without trying it on. I got to the checkout and it scanned as $45 - half the already reduced price. Then I got home, thought, I'd better try it on because I'll have to alter it so it fits me properly. Put it on and, yes, you guessed it, it fits perfectly. And what a bargain. My baby is looking after me, even now, bless him. I keep dreaming about him, that I'm holding him, and he is beautifully warm and soft and content as he always was. Perhaps he's trying to tell me that he's okay. In the dreams, it feels like I'm actually touching him and he talks to me like he used to IRL. I'm not particularly religious or spiritual but I'm now convinced that animals and humans have a spirit which lives on forever. I love him forever, always have, always will. HTH deb |
