Missing Lexa Options

[Rex's Mamma]

Dear Axel and Lexa's Mommy,

I read your story of Lexa and wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to you and to say thank you for sharing her with us. Lexa was beautiful and very lucky to have found her family. I just lost my boy Rex 26 hours ago. I keep looking for him to be at the foot of my bed with some part of him touching me. I just wanted to let you know that you and Lexa,Axel and your husband are all in my prayers this evening. I am very sorry for your loss.

Today was a very bad day I miss Lexa so much. Everywhere I look I have so many great memories of her but then I start crying because I know I don't get to be with her and create new memories. I haven't moved any of her things yet. Her food dishes, water fountains, litter boxes, and all her toys are where she last played with them. I can't bring myself to put anything away it seems so final.

Hi Michelle--

I am so sorry that you are having such a hard day. It's kind of like rolling with the waves in the ocean, this grieving process, isn't it? Up on minute and down the next. Do know that eventually you will be washed in to "shore," where there won't be so much pain anymore, and the memories will be mostly good ones.

It's totally fine not to move any of Lexa's things, unless or until you are ready. For you, they probably feel like having a part of her still with you, and if they bring you some comfort, then that's a good thing. I have the collars of both of my dogs past hanging right from the lamp by my bed, so I see them all the time. They are very important to me. It IS very final to move or discard a pet's "belongings;" that's why we each need to do it in our own time.

I hope the sea sets you down more gently. Remember to breathe!

Big hugs from Margi, Spiritwolf, and Leopold the Strange

Yet another week has came since you were with us. Miss you so much Lexa. Living without you is so hard...we love you so much.

[Axel&Lexa Mommy]

Thinking of you always...all the cute little nicknames Daddy and I have for you. Miss having you laying next to me, petting you, giving you kisses. There is so much we miss. Mommy & Daddy cherish all the time we had with you only wish it would have been longer. We love you so much Lexa...wish I could be with you.

Hi Michelle,

Your notes to your precious Lexa are so sweet and touching. I can identify with the feeling all too well -- the raw ache and emptiness of missing them. The incompleteness.

"There's a hole where whole used to be"

I hope the ache starts to subside a little, and that you feel Lexa's spirit still with you, always.

Until then, hang in there. Cheryl x

Today is 12 weeks. For me sometimes it feels longer because Lexa is not here with us. I miss her so much, my life is so lonely.
Lexa....Daddy and Mommy LOVE and MISS you so very much our little sweetheart.

Hi, Michelle, the anniversaries are so very hard to endure. For me three months seemed like time had disappeared somewhere - - life functioning on automatic pilot. I wish there were some magic words I could say that would help to take away the pain I know is in your heart - - the deep ache that permeates your very soul. The only thing I can offer you is encouragement, Michelle - - encouragement to take one day at a time - - reassurance that you are not alone in your sorrow -- reassurance that each of us are with you every step of the grief journey you travel.

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Michelle, that you will feel your Lexa's sweet Living Spirit in your heart and memories - - always with you as she always has been - - and always will be. And please let us know how you're doing, Michelle.

Peace and blessings,

The 8th of every month will always make me sad it reminds me you were taken away from us. Daddy and Momma love and miss you Lexa. I hate all my lonely days and nights without you. I'm so lost and confused you should still be alive this hurts so much but I know if you could you would be here with us.
Thinking of you always sweet Lexa.

Love, Mommy

Today marks 6 months since we lost our beautiful Lexa.

Hi, Michelle, six months - - half a year - -. It never ceases to amaze me how time just keeps going on - - the world never skips a beat, especially when our hearts are grieving - - our lives feel so barren and empty and meaningless without the physical presence of our beloved companions.

Six months - - a wake up call that somehow we have "survived" - - we have "continued on" - - not knowing exactly how or why - - six months.

Michelle, we continue on with the love in our hearts that our beloved companions share with us - - during their earthly journey with us and now blessed with their sweet Living Spirits always with us wherever we go and whatever we do. We continue on to honor this love bond, for this is what our beloved companions want us to do - - for they have shown us how to cherish every day. They also know it takes time for our hearts to adjust to the "new reality" of not having their precious physical presence with us - - and so - - our journey continues for however long our earthly journey is so that one day we can find ourselves smiling again - - for this is what our beloved companions want for us.

Michelle, thank you for sharing your and Lexa's anniversary with us. It is six months of adjustment to a "new reality" while holding fast to and cherishing the eternal love bond that forever belongs to you and Lexa. Nothing and no one can ever take this away from you.

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Michelle, and please let us know how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,

Today marks a year since our precious Lexa passed away. Every day is so hard living without her. I still can really find no words to express how I feel. It is so painful all I know is she should still be here with us.
Lexa...Momma & Daddy love you so much...we miss you so much you will always be our baby girl.

Hi, Michelle, thank you so much for sharing your and Lexa's "angel-versary" with us. When our beloved companions join the angels it is very hard to imagine how we can possibly continue with our earthly journey "without" them. Each day turns into another day which become a week which becomes a month which becomes 6 months which becomes - - a year. The first year, it is said, is the hardest because it is filled with all the "firsts without" - - and each one is a blatant reminder that our beloved companion is no longer physically with us. The adjustment journey continues on, though, beyond the one year "angel-versary" for we still long to hold them in our arms, hear their sweet noises, look into their adoring eyes, smell their fur. I hope you find comfort and encouragement here, Michelle, to help you in your adjustment journey. We are here for you, Michelle - - there is no "expiration date" here for sharing with us how you're doing.

Michelle, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and look forward to knowing how things are going for you.

Peace and blessings,
