My Eagle Has Passed Away :(, December 21, 2013 12:54 a.m. Options

I used this message board back when my Eagle was lost back in 2007, never dreaming I'd be needing this message board again.

My Eagle passed away one week ago today. He was 13 1/2 years old and died of heart failure, although he had other problems. He was my baby, my companion, much more than a dog to me.

This past week has been one of the hardest for me to endure. I am sad, down, depressed, alone, lost and sometimes mad.

I was out earlier and the thought came into my mind of me coming home and him being happy to see me and I couldn't wait for that, then I realized he was gone. It's things like that that are so hard.

When does it get easier???

Hi, Eagle's Mom, thank you so much for sharing your and your beloved Eagle's one month angel-versary with us. When we are in deep grief each day is measured by the physical absence of our beloved companions. Even though "life goes on" - - bills get paid, groceries are bought, jobs get done, etc., - - we are functioning on what I call "automatic pilot". Nothing seems "real" - - because our mind and body are funcitoning in a "survival mode" protecting us from the overwhelming overload of our deepest sorrow. As time progresses in our grief journey eventually the protective shield slowly abates so that we can slowly begin to function more "normally" - - with our "new normal."

Only YOU will know when the right time will be for you to embrace a new companion. You can rest assured that your beloved Eagle will guide your and your new companion's paths to that moment in time when you will meet and you will know beyond a shadow of doubt that you are meant to be together.

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

Peace and blessings,
