George Options

[my George]

Here I am 7 months after my dog son George passed tragically. I still cannot bring myself to write about his final days.....too painful....overwhelming guilt. I have been reading others' stories almost everyday to numb this pain. I am still in the same place as the day he went. Time does not heal. Reading posts here gives me some measure of comfort I can't get anywhere else.

Moon_Beam, Gretta's & Rufus's mum, Raccoonkisses, Thank you all. I wouldn't be here today without you.

Deepest gratitude,

George's mum

Hi, George's mum, please permit me to offer you my sincerest sympathies in the physical loss of your beloved George. Losing a companion is never easy regardless of the circumstances or how long we are blessed with the privilege of their company. Losing a companion tragically intensifies the grief.

George's mum, this grief journey is one of the most painful experiences you will know on this side of eternity. It is a journey that cannot be reconciled in a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month, or even 6 or 7 months - - for you are now on a journey that is filled with all the "first withouts" and the memories that can be all too painful that include "this time yesterday, last week, last month, last year" to endure. It is a journey that can only be traveled one day at a time, sometimes one moment at a time, in your own way and in your own time.

But I assure you, George's mum, it is a journey you do not travel alone. Each of us here DO understand what you are going through, and we are here for you for as long and as often as you need us. Even if it is too painful for you to share with us what is in your heart - - we are here for you.

Right now it is important that you find the most healthy way for YOU to grieve for your beloved George. It is important that you give yourself permission to openly release your deepest sorrow for as long as you need to, even if you need to seek the peace and solitude of privacy from others around you to do it.

I do so know from first hand experience that when our hearts are entrenched in deep grief there really are no adequate words in any language that can soothe the deep seering pain of sorrow. Still, George's mum, I hope and pray the words I share with you will be able to offer you some measure of comfort, support, encouragement, and hope as you travel your grief adjustment journey.

One important thing, among many things, you need to remember is that the love bond you and your beloved George share is eternal - - it is not restricted to the physical laws of time and space. Your beloved George's sweet Living Spirit continues to share your earthly journey as he always has and always will - - for he is always and forever a part of your heart and memories - - he is always and forever a heartbeat close to you.

Thank you so much for honoring us in sharing your beloved George with us, George's mum. He is sooo handsome, and he is so blessed to have you for his Forever Mom. And you, George's mum, are forever blessed to be his heir to and sole, and soul, beneficiary of, his eternal love. For you are now his living legacy of the "eternal flame" of love that continues to burn warmly in your and your beloved George's hearts.

I hope today is treating you kindly, George's mum, and that you will have a peaceful evening blessed with your beloved George's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, George's mum, and please let us know how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
