I Love You Sarah Options

[Russ]

This is Russ, I lost my precious baby girl Sarah 11 months ago. I have a post here already but I cannot access it now, the page freezes up when I try to add a reply. I hope it's ok that I start another post. I've wanted to say so much since the last time I was able to reply. I hope this one will work for me. I miss my Sarah so very much and I haven't been able to come to terms with everything. It's such a cold dark place I'm at. Daddy Loves You Sarah with all my heart and I'll never ever leave you.

Hi, Russ, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing, and your and your beloved Sarah's one year angel-versary. Clinical professionals recognize that the first year of grieving a loss is filled with many experiences of first withouts, but just because the calendar indicates that the first year angel-versary is "survived" does not mean that the sorrow in our hearts automatically disappears. It simply means that we have endured the first year of one of the most painful experiences of adjusting to the physical absence of a beloved companion.

Clinical professionals also recognize that the love bond we share with our companions is unique from the relationships we share with our human family members, friends, acquaintances, etc.. Our companions give to us their unconditional love and undivided attention, and we in turn surrender ourselves to them completely without fear of rejection. Unlike our human relationships, our companions do not care what our social status is, financial wealth or lack thereof, what we look and dress like, or if we live in a tent, under an expressway overpass, in a modest house, or in a mansion. They accept us for who we are. And because of they love us unconditionally, this is one of the many reasons why our grief adjustment journey is so very painful both emotionally and physically.

I know from first hand experience how you feel when you share with us: "Those words I tell her is my hope and trust, they let me look to the glory ahead. It's this time in between that hurts so much." I truly wish there were an easier way to navigate this grief adjustment journey, Russ, but unfortunately there are no fast forward or delete buttons we can press to speed up the process or make it automatically disappear. It is important that you know we are here for you for as long and as often as you need us, Russ - - you are among friends here who truly do understand what you are feeling.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful picture of your beloved Sarah with us, Russ. I hope today is treating you kindly and that you will have a peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Sarah's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and please let us know how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
