Thanks for sharing. I really like that part about learning to love yourself.
QUOTE When we don't love ourselves and are dependent only on external sources for love, we set ourselves up for horrible suffering at the time of separation. This is true of all of our relationships, human and animal. Don't let anyone ever convince you that you are stuck in your grief "because you love animals too much." There is really no such thing as loving anyone, of any species, too much. What we can do, though, is love another more than ourselves. When we learn to love ourselves more fully, we'll still experience the inevitable pain of grief when we lose a loved one, but the suffering transforms to a quiet grace. Maybe that has been holding me back all along that I felt I would never be loved in the way Snookie loved me. Maybe now I can learn to love harder and go forward with my life. Ann -------------------- My girls went to the Rainbow Bridge 6 weeks and 3 days apart. Snookie had cushing's disease, and later developed diabetes. Both had cancer, Snookie had cancer of the liver, and Chili Bean had cancer of the pallet. Chili Bean was our son's chihuahua but we kept her often throughout her life and she stayed with us for the last 9 months of her life. Chili Bean also had asthma and heart failure. We will see you in Heaven my precious darlings. Snookie Lynn Howard 2-04-94 - 12-26-04 Senorita Chili Bean Bubbles Howard 11-05-94 - 11-11-04 |

Wow...what an amazing site. Thanks so much for posting that. I can relate to all those things...especially the last one.

I loved the site... It made me get teary eyed.... If I could find a reputable animal communicator psychic who doesn't charge a fortune I would consider doing that...

The site helped me so much.
Made me see things from new view points. Especially the bit about not loving yourself enough ... I think this is going to help me a lot. Many thanks with love jilly -------------------- ELLIE, my beautiful precious baby. 1st Sept 2003 - 3rd Dec 2004.

I love the "quiet grace" quote. Although I still believe that my "hysterical panic" was perfectly healthy
