During the Holiday season, I like to remember that the last gift I can give to my Daisy is to try to be happy.

This is the hardest gift of all, perhaps even harder than allowing the vet to help her leave this earth when her life was over and she was terminally ill and in pain.


All of our furbabies love us so much. They do not want us to be sad.


Daisy's Mommy

It is three weeks today since Alley passed. I used to cry into her fur when I was sad about something. Now what am I supposed to do? I thought I was doing ok until I woke up this morning and realized it was saturday again. I just want to curl up in a ball and join her.

Happy is a long way's off.

Diasy's mom:

That is a wonderful outlook to have and you carry wonderful positive thoughts. I do understand how Alley is feeling about not being happy too.

When you are in the mire of grief it is very hard to reach out and pull yourself up. We can't curl up, give up or waste one minute of the precious life God gave us, we have no choice but to go on.

Alley's Moma hang in there and take it just one day at a time, one hour, one minute, do whatever works to cope with your pain. Keeping busy is really key to keep your mind off of it. Nuture yourself... you know your Alley would want you to be better.

My thoughts of my furry little loved one grow more peaceful & calm as time moves forward. I believe my lttle baby would want that. She was always a happy go lucky little tyke. From time to time however, I will fall in to the great pit of sorrow when suddenly & without indication something will trigger the horrific memory of the day she died. I will then be surrounded by that veil of grief for the next little while and must weep for my loss. Happiness, when it comes to my baby is still fleeting.

All we can do is to try to be happy.

After Daisy's death, minutes past, then hours, then days. Now it has been months. Some day it will be years since I held her last.


There is not a day that goes by that I don't feel terrible waves of grief and I believe that I will feel that way until the day I die.
