Guilt, 8+ years later, I still feel it. Options

[Remembering Dais...]

Daisy left us on April 1, 2006. She was almost 12 years old and had a congenital liver defect which was supposed to kill her before she was 3. I feel that part of the reason she lived so long was because she knew how much we needed her and we loved her so much. She died two months after my son was born. Although we tried to give her as much affection and care as always, she seemed low after his arrival. I feel like she died because she felt betrayed by our love for our son. My sister told me that she thinks that Daisy died because at last she felt that I would be okay without her. These thoughts still bring tears to my eyes all these years later.

I can't bear the thought of her feeling betrayed or sad.

I miss Daisy and think of her often. She was the dog of my life.

Hi, Daisy's Mom, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing. There is no doubt that your beloved Daisy "visited" both you and your friend in your dreams simultaneously to let you know she is always and forever with you, and that she is now restored to her former youthfulness in the company of the angels waiting patiently for your appropriate time to join her in eternal joy. But for now your heart must hold fast to the eternal love you and your beloved Daisy share as you continue your earthly journey. No matter how much time passes there will be days when you will think of your beloved Daisy and a mist may come to your eyes as your heart still aches with the sorrow of physical separation, but the sorrow will not be as intense for your heart will be warmed with your beloved Daisy's eternal love.

I hope today is treating you kindly, Daisy's Mom, and that you will have a very peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Daisy'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,
