Grieving My Beautiful Little Girl Options

[moon_beam]

Hi, Juturna, I'm so glad your beloved Victoria's trainer is now able to give you guidance on your precious Annabelle. The friendship you share together through your beloved Victoria, and now your precious Miss Annabelle, is important to continue to nurture, and I'm so very happy you both had an opportunity to meet again last Friday evening. I hope the trainer is able to give both Miss Annabelle and you encouragement in your new life journey together. Please know you and your precious Miss Annabelle are in my thoughts and prayers, and look forward to knowing how things are going.

Peace and blessings,

Hi Juturna,

Off of work today so I am able to get on the computer. Wanted to check in to see how you and Annabelle are doing. the 6 month anniversary of Zoe's death is coming up next week. Still so hard but you have been such a great support for me.

Glad you have Annabelle stuck to your side. I am sure she is so grateful that you adopted her. She is lucky to have you for her "forever" mom.

Just know that I think of you and Moon-beam, and the others here often but sometimes find it too hard to come to this forum because it brings the grief back to the surface. Hope people can understand that.

Take care and give Annabelle a kiss from me.

Today was the 9 month anniversary of the loss of my beautiful Victoria. I was aware of this all weekend and still miss her daily. Somehow the deep grief has passed, and now it is an ache in my heart. I believe my Victoria knows how much she was loved. And I am gratefull everday for the opportunity to have shared my life with her. I have pictures of her in every room.

My little velcro girl, Annabelle, is a huge blessing in my life now. I am also very grateful for my firends on this forum who have helped me enormously, and for those who have allowed me to support them. Thank you!

With peace and gratitude,
Juturna

Hi, Juturna, thank you so much for sharing your and your precious Victoria's angel-versary with us. My friend, she indeed knows she was loved the moment you welcomed her into your heart and life, and knows she will always be loved through all eternity.

Even though the deep grief eases, we know our lives are not the same without the precious physical presence of our beloved companions. And even though we embrace new companions into our heart and lives they will never replace the beloved companions who are now patiently waiting for us to join them in eternal joy at our appropriate time. Each companion has their own special place in our hearts and lives, as does your precious Annabelle with whom you are now sharing your earthy journeys together. I know your beloved Victoria is smiling as she watches the both of you from her heavenly throne knowing that your heart has found a new forever love.

Juturna, thank you so very much for sharing with us how you're doing. I hope today is treating you and your precious Annabelle kindly. Please know you both are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to knowing how you're doing and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Victoria whenever possible.

Peace and blessings,

Dear Joanne and Moon_beam,

Thank you so much for your continued support.

It is nearly 10 months since my beautiful Victoria passed on to her next life. I still think of her every day. I looked at her scrapebook this wk. and had a good cry. I miss her. Though the guilt has eased some, it is still there.

I'm trying to focus on the gift of my precious little Annabelle. She is the joy in my life. She is my true velcro companion and is always right by my side, if not on my lap. I feel very fortunate to have her in my life.

With gratitude and peace,
Juturna

Hi, Juturna, thank you so much for sharing your and your beloved Victoria's angel-versary with us. It matters not how much time passes in our earthly journey - - our beloved companions are always with us in our hearts and memories, and the love bond we share with them is eternal.

I am so glad you are finding some peace in your heart that is replacing the presence of guilt. Although this is a normal emotion in the grief adjustment journey, it is one of the hardest emotions to reconcile. I know your beloved Victoria was right by your side as you were looking through the scrapbook, and I hope you heard her soft voice in your heart saying, "oh mom, remember when this picture was taken? Remember when we did this / that?" and so on. She treasures her earthly journey she shared with you, and continues to share your earthly journey now as she always will.
My heart is filled with joy for you that you have your precious Annabelle to love, but we know this is a NEW love which will never "replace" the love you have for your beloved Victoria - - and is never meant to.

Thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing, Jurturna. Please know you and your precious Annabelle are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to sharing how things are going for you both whenever possible.

Peace and blessings,

It has been a year since my beautiful Victoria passed on to her next life. I still think of her every day. Her spirit has moved on, and she no longer visits me in my dreams. Victoria had helped guide me to precious little Annabelle; Her final gift. I am eternally grateful for all the lessons and gifts she has given me. Missing my beloved Victoria has made 2011 a difficult year.
I just lit a memorial candle for my beautiful Victoria and will spend some time tonight looking through her scrapbook.
Many thanks to my friends on the forum for all your support over the past year.
With gratitude and peace,
Juturna
