When my sister was dying of cancer, she began to see her beloved deceased yorkie roaming the house. Then her husband saw him too. I believe her dog came to guide her home.

I'm so sorry about your sister. I had a friend who was in hospice dying of cancer and when I visited him to say goodbye, he asked me if I saw his dog at the front desk. His dog had passed about a year before him. I do believe that our pets are in our heaven waiting for us. I just lost my cockapoo last friday and so this thought gives my broken heart some hope. God bless.

My mom saw our first cat in the house after it’s passing. My second cat stayed about two weeks sitting on my lap and meowing into my ear to wake me up after it’s passing. It made me realize that the energy of the animal (soul) never dies, just the body.

I lost my dog 2 nights ago. I feel so completely broken, and it just hurts so much. I miss her every single day. opening the door to my house and not seeing her come and greet me makes my heart hurt. I really do believe that she's in a better place, but I just miss her so much and I wish I could bring her back.

Dan kinder I am so sorry for your loss, I understand what you are going through. I just lost my 16 year old fur baby and today was unbearable having to find out how to cremate and move her. This dog had been with me for over half my life. The unconditional love BOTH our babies gave us is something we can never forget. If you need someone to talk to, I am here to listen. I know you loved your dog as much as I loved mine. I am so sorry someone took your baby away, but I know this is something we can both make it through.

A place in my heart to which she roams freely no matter where I am or how long the time has been. Your dogs are alive, in you heart and memory, and so are mine.

"It's just a cat" It's the loneliest thing when you're freshly grieving your lost friend, and there's no one around to take it seriously - to 'hold space' for you. That happened to me when my 6 year old stray cat died of acute renal failure. I sat and sobbed for hours in another part of the house while my uncle and brother made small talk with each other only a few rooms away. Neither of them once checked on me. I don't know if they genuinely didn't get it, or where just too cowardly to deal with me in the state I was in. Hard to forget. This was a really important talk for me to hear.

@@chb8982 I'm so sorry for your loss, honey. I have a similar relationship with my present cat. I hardly see anyone,irrespective of any global 'lockdowns', so he's probably more important to me than he should be. He's always there. My old cat, who died felt like my only and best friend. We loved each other, and losing her at 6 was the worst grief I think I've ever been through. This is only my opinion, but I think if you can think about the bit of yourself you were able to access in Ebby's presence, you might be able to better understand your grief, and what it's made up of. What I missed about my cat was that I was able to access the pure, soft child part of me, that no one else sees, and I think losing her made me feel cut off from that connection to ME. What I'm saying is that I think some of the grief is about the animal, and some about how much we are hurting all the time, and the cat gave us the space to connect with ourselves, if that makes sense? It's way too early for you to want to do this, but I think, when you are ready, a wonderful way to honour Ebby would be to adopt a stray cat from a shelter. I was lucky, because my 6 yr old cat who died was trying to get us to adopt her when my old 24 yr old cat died! She'd been hanging around in the garden for months, and my old cat hated her! The last thing I wanted was to let in a new cat, but you know what, she helped me heal, and I knew I was helping her by letting her in to our family and giving her a home. For now, know that Ebby's love is always there in your heart. he is safe and well, and he's so thankful to you for giving him a loving, safe home, when some cats never have anyone to care for them their whole lives. Don't fear your sadness. No matter how much it hurts, stay close to your child self and listen to what he/she has to say. It WILL get better with every passing day. Trust me. And one day in the near future you will be sent another cat who needs your love. Is here anybody you can talk to about it? If so, talk to them, or just tell them how bad you feel. It will help. Take care tonight, and be kind and patient with yourself. : )

He is a pillar for me and has been with me through thick and thin…he hasn’t technically died, but seeing him in pain and not himself makes me feel like he already has.

But shortly after he was put to sleep, I remember seeing a rainbow in the sky appear after. I'd like to believe that's where he went.

Oh my gosh! I had to say goodbye to my sweet Dachshund two days ago. It almost killed me. The next day, while driving home from work, I was stopped, waiting for the light to change. There was a motorcyclist in front of me looking off to the right, up at the sky, and he was pointing upward. I thought it was pretty weird, and I couldn’t figure out what he was doing. As I inched closer I could see he was pointing at a rainbow and it hadn’t even rained! I told my husband “There must be moisture in the air for there to be a rainbow.” I had no idea what the rainbow bridge was at that time, and after reading your comment, for some reason that incident just popped into my head. God used the rainbow for a specific sign. Now I believe that was God, letting me know not to worry...He has everything under control. My Sadie is in the hands of her Creator. Wow. Just had to share that!

I walked home from the vet and cried the entire way. Twenty blocks through Manhattan with tears and an empty carrier. I am sure people who saw me put two & two together and knew what happened. I know loss and mourning but this is different. This grief is so profound and I cannot even begin to describe what I feel.

Oh my god I'm, I'm so sorry. My dog, his name is Ozzy, within the timespan of 6 hours he had gotten so sick from cancer, we had to euthanize him. This happened yesterday, one minute he was fine, the next he was about to drop down and croak. That isnt an exaggeration. He was like my left arm, in the sense that he followed me and my mom anywhere we went. I know how it feels, you can't even describe in words how much you love that pet. Just something as simple as bumping into a bowl can lead to an outburst of tears, right? But, in the words of my dad, dont frown because it's over, smile because it happened.

My dog Damon had to be euthanized yesterday afternoon. I knew it was coming, time finally caught up with him and he was deteriorating rapidly. But I wasn't ready for it, no matter how much I told myself I was. It was all I could do to hold myself together long enough to make it to my car. When I got home it was worse. My entire life revolved around him being part of it. We were never apart for more than a couple days over all the years I had him. Everywhere I look, every little thing reminds me of him. It was worse today, coming home from work and for the first time he's not there to greet me, I can't go into the living room to pet him and ask if he was a good boy while I was gone. I keep looking to where he would be in the room without thinking before I remember that he isn't here anymore. Everytime it's like having a peice of your soul ripped out. Like there was a hole in me that he filled that's empty now and I feel hollow inside. The grief comes in waves, one minute I'm fine and the next there's some little thing that reminds me of him and I can barely hold it together long enough to get out of the room. Part of me doesn't want to remember because it's so painful and part of me wants to remember every little detail and feels guilty for ever thinking that in the first place. All I can offer to anyone who is also going through this right now is you aren't alone in your grief and maybe just in knowing that, the burden of it isn't quite so heavy.

I lost my dearest King Charles Spaniel Snoekie on the 21 Of January 2021at the age of 11 years. She was my whole life, the reason why a woke up every morning. She slept every night on her pillow next to my head. Even though se wasn't well for the past year she never showed that and always pulled through regardless of all her health issues she had. The void she has left in my heart is so painful that no word can describe how a feel. I feel broken, pain, anger and always thinking that what if we have done that or that? Thanks for this lovely video, the grief would take a lot of time but nice to feel some comfort after watching this. Rest in peace my dearest Snoekie, I will love you for always and ever one day we will meet on Rainbow Bridge.

I am sorry for your loss. It will get easier, especially if you get a new pet to focus on. That said, you will never forget. I have lost many cats and dogs over the years, and I think about all of them quite frequently, and it make me cry. I just lost one of my 3 dogs yesterday, and I have probably cried 100 times since Monday, when I made the appoint for the vet to come to my house and euthanize her. I am heartbroken, but I saved her from a horrible life and gave her the best life any dog could possible have. She was a very special dog and I will miss her immensely. The good thing is with our pets, we will meet again, and when we do, we will be together for eternity.

My family had to suddenly put my 11yo cat to sleep 4 days ago. The grief is like nothing I've ever experienced, worse than for any person I've lost in my life. I love my boy more than anybody else in the world. He's the love of my life. It's a physical and emotional grief more powerful than I can explain. I'm sharing sympathy with anybody going through the same devastation.

@@abbyleyden187 thank you. I'm so sorry for your loss and I feel your pain. I was in such a daze the first few days. I believe that too, truly and the strangest thing happened the night before last. I was wide awake in bed and I heard him meow, loud and clear as day. It sent goosebumps all over me but i knew it was him saying he's still with me and telling me I'll be alright. He was always such a spiritual cat, we used to get this knocking from the flat above after that neighbour was taken into hospital. Two knocks, always loud, always intentional and at night. Donny, my cat, started scratching at the door to let him out so that he could sit outside that flats front door. I knew it was something I couldn't understand but didn't realise why. It was only when the neighbour came back and told me his mom's ashes (she had recently passed) had been taken there whilst he was in hospital, that it made sense. After they were reunited the knocking stopped and Donny stopped sitting outside the door. He was reassuring her that it was okay, he was such a beautiful soul. So I know, he would have no problem reaching out to me and it was lovely to hear his meow the other night. They are incredible and we will see them again, meanwhile they're having the time of their afterlives!

I know it's not the same as our lost one, but to share our love to our lost one with the animals inneed from the shelter and give them a comfort place to stay has gradually brighten my life. It didn't take me long to end up adopted one of my own. My pain has eased by welcome a new family member.

So sorry for your loss, I know what you are talking about. For me, I said goodnight knowing I’d have to say goodbye in a couple of days, only to wake up to a seemingly normal morning, only for my mom to call me in shock, telling me that my best friend was gone. Like a sister to me. I didn’t cry until I saw her, I was full of disbelief and shock and felt so guilty that I didn’t get to hold her as she passed letting her know it was ok and that she was the best thing to happen to me. I don’t regret every moment I had with her, and while I’d always want to have done more I honestly did so much with her and all I’m regretting is her being gone. It’s been 4 months, but I still feel empty every time I get home from a fun day at school, only to see that my best friend isn’t there to see me.

@@lilymiller3522 i believe what has helped me to cope the most is to remember how much she taught me about being a better person. She taught me how to care for someone, how to be consistent, how to love and be patient. Those things she taught me will never go away. I used to give her medication every day, so when she passed away, i started gardening, and i have to water the garden every day just like i gave her her medication, and what she taught me about being responsible even when its difficult will never go away. There is room for other love in your life, but it won't fill the same holes, the holes are always there but you learn to accept them as part of you. I still miss her so much but i know she would comfort me if i were sad, so i try to remember what she would have wanted rather than focusing just on my sadness. It is hard, it doesn't get easier, you just change as time passes and your sadness changes and it becomes love, and there is no love like loving a dog.

That evening I put him down it was gloomy, then after he went to sleep the setting sun came out with not a cloud in the sky. It was a peaceful sign from God. I'm gonna miss him, he was my best friend . But I know he's ok and I'll see him again someday.

Our dog had a big tumor on his adrenal glands and his organs almost failed, he was vomiting and not eating for a week, we tried to help him with perfusions but only one day without it his sugar got to almost zero...he could not live one day without perfusions. We decided the vet to do an operation to see his organs. His liver was in pain and all the organs were in a bad condition so the vet suggested our options or to help release his pain. We decided to take him home and asked the vet to come home, we wanted our dog to die at home with us, he wailed his tail when he saw the vet entering, it was his favourite vet and he knew when seeing him means feeling better, i guess he is feeling no pain now....we feel so sad today... I guess i will always remember him, we loved him so much

I lost my dog 3 months ago, although I can hardly believe it has been this long. I think it hurts so much because it is our only experience of unconditional love. He will never be replaced, and I don't like the words 'get over it' - because that might not be true.. but you will change from feeling the way you do now. Because you and he had such a great love - only good can come from that. it will make you strong - the love will take over for the pain - gradually. I don't know if I will ever get over it either, but I guess we don't have any choice - so know that you are not alone, and I understand.

You could try and send her a message to tell her that you love her? I did this and i had a lucid dream where my cat showed me what the vets did with her after I left when she was at the evening vets getting washed and x rayed. In the dream i felt the warm temperature of the water on my skin, she was showing me that she was well looked after as im sure your kitty was too! Just before you go to bed tonight, i know that sounds crazy but if you just relax, maybe do a 5 minute stress relief meditation before bed, and then just talk to her either in your head or out loud, tell her that u love her and will see her again soon. Picture her as vividly as you can in your head when you do this. It might work it might not, but u may get a dream about her that helps you get closure and some believe you genuinely make contact with your loved lost ones this way. Thats what i believe. Anyway, sorry to sound crazy, hope this helps you bring some better closure and have a few more moments together!!

The cat companion I've had for 18 years passed away day before yesterday, 48 hours ago, after an 8-day-long gradual decline. She died peacefully at sunset, with its rays beaming through the window upon us and catching crystals that created little rainbows all over. I know she's gone, but still feels like she's here, and I find myself reaching over to pet her but her spot next to me is empty and it feels like I've lost her again, over and over and over again. I've cried so much every day since I knew she'd be leaving me, and even more since she's gone. People who've not gone through this have no idea of its profound pain and sense of devastating loss, and alone-ness. No more does she purr me to sleep as our days ended, no more does she give me the morning greetings that started our days. To all suffering like this, my heart goes out to you. God bless.

My dog Louie departed 8 days ago, and the pain and anguish is almost unbearable. Guilt, regret, grief, and second guessing are the emotions that fuel my racing mind. It's a horrible experience that I have unfortunately been through 5 times. But I know that he loved me, and wanted only to make me happy, and that is a beautiful thing. All of the love, laughter, loyalty, and devotion are given to us on credit, and in the end, we pay dearly for it. So is it worth it? I take great comfort in knowing that he spent his life with me. I cannot imagine not knowing him, or how hollow my heart would be had our lives not intersected. Yes it is absolutely worth it! 100 percent. I would do anything for him, including going through this horrible pain and grief. I miss you Louie, more than words can describe.

Three days ago, my cat, Simon, crossed the rainbow bridge. I was 16 years old when I found him outside- he was only four months old. We grew up together. I spent almost everyday with him for the last 18 years that I couldn't remember what life was like before him... I know his health was on the decline but this is the most painful thing I've ever experienced in my life so far. Not only was he a family member, he was also my soul cat and best friend. I literally feel so lost without him and miss him so, so much. 😭💔

I'd never imagined that losing a pet would hurt this much. After my brother passed away and after I've gotten my heart broken in relationships, I stopped getting close to people out of fear of a broken heart again. Well, my sister's cat had nobody to take care of her because my sister had a new baby, so I took her cat Angel and made her my own. I lost every single friend that I had when I had gotten sober and Angel was with me the entire time. She was the most dog like cat you'd ever see, she would lick my hand and lay with me all night. She could barely walk, but she always walked as fast as she could to the door to meet me, and when she couldn't make that trip, she would wait and watch for me at my bedroom door, her excitement was like a dog. I thought that she would make it another five years until she started having digestion issues. I took her to the vet twice, then I couldn't afford to take her again when something happened, she started breathing extremely quickly and her arms were stiff. She was crying and couldn't move. I had to put her down, I gave her some methadone until her breathing and heart eventually slowed down until she took her last few big deep breaths in my arms. I've cried every day since it happened a week ago. My heart can't take it, I still haven't gotten used to waking up and not seeing her right beside me. I don't care how sad or lonely I am, I just pray that she's happy and staying with my brother in heaven until I get there.

He was coming home to me. He wanted me to pet him but it was too late. He can’t anymore. I’m Muslim so inshallah when I go heaven I’m gonna ask Allah for my animals back. And apparently in heaven you can customise anything. I know Rocco would want big paws 😂😂 so I’m gonna ask God to make him enormous😂🫶🏼 my tiger!!! My cats taught me to love every animal no matter how vicious I just look into their eyes and see my pets lool. There’s cruel people in this world who harm animals and remembering that spookes my life and I cry everytime. But I wish the best always.

I lost my cat, my best buddy and snuggler Miki 2 days ago. He fought so hard with heart and kidney disease for 2 years. I’m grateful he gave me those extra 2 years. The last few months were hard and especially the last week when he deteriorated. I had a feeling a month ago when I saw him look up at the ceiling at the vets office that his time was coming. Out of love I had to make the decision to help him pass over the rainbow bridge. Hardest decision ever. I miss him so much and I hope he is happy and healthy in the meadows watching down on us. He gave us 13 unforgettable years.

Lost my beloved cat Max yesterday and there's just this giant hole in my heart. I want to believe that the soul exists and that his is somewhere watching over me waiting until I can join him but I just don't. I don't have the ability (without concrete verifiable proof) to believe in the afterlife. Out of all the cats I have and have had, Max was the most loveable. He truly gave me unconditional love. He would lay on my chest and as I pet him, he'd lick my nose and occasionally tiny bites and it was special. I know people say that it gets better and you'll get used to it, but I don't want to get used to life without him. I shouldn't have to. He was only a year old.

I lost Kuai, my beloved goat to a dog back in June. I was devastated and guilt-ridden because I felt it was my fault for not securing the goats pen against dogs and also she was nursing twin baby goats at the time. She was such a beautiful goat and because of her I bought more goats later and started a small goat farm. She also helped connecting to the local farming community. The story is, she ran off the first day I bought her and before long everyone in the village came to hear about it and was out trying to look for her. She was brought back to me after almost 3 weeks and has since had two pair of gorgeous twin kids. I will love you forever my beautiful Kuai, alive or dead. I promise I will make sure your two orphaned kids grow as strong and beautiful as you were. Wait for me at the rainbow bridge...

January 14th of this year, I had to say goodbye to my miniature pinscher Luke. He was suffering from pancreatitis, and later at the vet developed pneumonia. Since his passing, I've been overwhelmed with guilt. If only I had caught it sooner, or taken him to the vet sooner, or just done everything differently. Everyday since I have cried, held his urn, and told him how sorry I was. I do have some comfort, that upon arriving to the vet that day, he stood up, wagged his tail, and gave me kisses before laying down and passing away. However my heart is completely broken. I believe in the rainbow bridge, and I want to believe my baby is there, healthy, and running free. And someday, I truly hope that when my time is up, I will be greated by him, and my other dogs who one day will follow. I hope he knows how much I love and miss him, and that if I could do it over again I'd be a better owner. Luke, I love you baby boy. Until we meet again at the rainbow bridge

But I can tell you this much, you did the best you could and that's all you can do. You loved your dog unconditionally just as he loved you. And like I said I am experienceing those exact same emotions right now. But please remember that you did the best you could. It wasn't your fault, and maybe taking him to the vet would not have caught it. You never know. But please know you're not alone and your comment really touched me because I'm going through the same thing and typing this with tears in my eyes. Sending you much love and comfort.

I lost my beloved cat yesterday morning and I am completely heartbroken, it feels like some part of me has been ripped out and lost forever. She was there for our family through some tough times, like another soul giving us comfort that everything will be ok. She was more than a pet to us, she was like another member of the family, always there. She had become ill a short while ago, but something gave inside her and it was time for her to go. The little things like being at the door, in the window, meeting me on the drive, lying on the bed, on my lap, even her usually consistent meowing. I haven’t even had the strength to watch this video yet, if I ever will. We had lots of good times, but I am eaten by guilt that if I ever ignored her when I was tired or never gave her the attention I should. Only a cat some might say, but anyone else who has had this bond will understand. I like to think her spirit is running free and happy somewhere in a garden, where she loved to be and that one day I can hold her again. She was a gift to us and helped us through times when we struggling. To all those in the same position, I hope time will heal us all🙏

She comforted me through a lot of really awful challenging times including multiple family bereavements and to now lose her feels unimaginably cruel. I'm just taking it one day at a time but sometimes it's hard to know how I can go on. I don't have a partner or children so me and her were a family unit. I always thought she'd live well into old age but she died of cancer quite suddenly. I'm still in shock and can't quite believe this has happened.

I feel lost and as if I have nothing left. Most people I meet don't seem to understand the bond between humans and their pets but the unconditional love my two cats have given me is better than any human could. The only thing that holds me together in these times is the thought of them together up there and that I will see them again.

For those who grieve with the loss of a pet, hope this helps. We've had two dogs that we've had to have put down. The first one, Mitzi, pained me so much. We had to have her put down at only 7 years old because of complications of a kidney infection the vet missed. At this time I didn't believe in an after life. I'm a 6 foot 200 lb. man and I cried like a baby for three days. Luckily, I was on vacation at that time. On my way to work the first morning back to work I felt her presence with me (it was amazing...but despite my prior convictions was open (being an open minded person) and went with it). I "felt" her saying "I just want to see where you go every morning...it must be a wonderful place because you go there so much." I told her I was happy she came to find out. I went to work, and time to go home I felt her presence again. Lol...she said "that's it? that's where you go? What a boring disappointment...!...why do you go there?". I told her that humans have tasks to perform for other humans, and because we do those tasks we get money to buy things we need to live. She didn't understand the money part, so I told her money is like a treat, we trade that money for a place to live and food to buy. Lol...I felt she somewhat understood that but got the distinct feeling she thought it was a very silly way to do things. We got a second dog a couple years later. We named her "Cookie". A couple years later, I'd had a heart attack and flat lined and had an amazing NDE. A few years later we had to have Cookie put down (she was 14 and had developed severe arthritis). At the vet when we had her put down, I cried for her, but it was different because I now understood that death isn't death, but a rebirth. I felt Cookie's presence and wondrous joy from her and she told me that had she known we were going to put her down she would have not wanted that, but after the fact was so thankful. A couple months later I felt her presence again and she said excitedly "I graduated!". I don't know what that meant, but she was so happy and I was happy for her. So, for the grief stricken who've lost a pet/pets please don't think about the loss. Think about the joy and love they gave you. They don't want to see you so sad and burdened in grief, they want you to remember only the good and the incredible moment that you'll see each other again. The Rainbow Bridge isn't just about pets...it's for all consciousness.

Five days ago I lost my best friend of 16 years. I swear he was a human in a cat's body. What hurts the most is that he was planning on dying, I knew he was in pain and he had started hiding... I called the vet in hopes of making an appointment in what I knew in my heart was going to result in putting him to sleep. They were booked until the next day. I had planned on getting home from work and spending the entire night with him (I work 2nd shift). When I had gotten home I found him in extremely bad shape, and rushed him to an animal hospital about 40 minutes away. He held on for the whole ride, I left the door of the carrier open so I could pet him on the way there (I wasn't the one driving). When we arrived, the staff rushed him into an operating room in an attempt to stabilize him, and he lasted about 5-10 minutes after we got him there. I wasn't able to be there when it happened, they only let me in the back to see him after his heart had stopped. I wanted to be there for him, but instead he died alone on a cold, metal table... Who knows, maybe being apart from me made it easier for him to let go... I should have made the decision to put him to rest sooner, so he wouldn't be in so much pain... I don't share quite as much of a bond with my other cats like I did with him, he genuinely loved me and he and I needed each other in our lives. I feel so lonely without him. The only reason I've been holding myself together is that I've been researching pets in the afterlife these past five days, stories of experiences with pet mediums, receiving signs from a deceased pet, pet reincarnation, etc. I'm hoping for a sign so badly. That he's happy and not hurting, and that I'll see him again, someday... I miss him more than anything. Sorry this is so long, I needed to get this out somewhere and off of my chest.

I lost my 19 year old bichon 6 days ago. I feel broken. Lost. Had him since I was 12. I knew his parents way before he was born. Brought him home at 4 weeks. Also brought him home the day he was born. Now my home is empty. Everywhere I walk reminds me of him. I’ve been crying for a week straight. He was fine a week ago despite his age.

@@carlosurbina8252 I'm so sorry to hear about your bichon what a blessing to have him that long. How are you coping? I just lost my beloved chihuhua Mia, 12 days ago. My husband and I adopted her from the animal shelter 7 years ago. She was the sweetest and bravest girl. We knew she had illnesses that would eventually progress but I would never think this day would come. I'm broken, I no longer enjoy eating, I cannot focus on school work, she was the link to my marriage. She was our only daughter. I love her and miss her so much I want her back :'(''''''''''

My precious, loving, kind Tyson passed away yesterday of cancer. I have never felt so helpless, heartbroken, sad, lost, and empty in my entire life. I am beside myself. Frustration comes with all these other emotions too. He was the glue that held my family together. I walked into the house tonight for the first time without him barking and running up to happily greet me. I just know this pain is never gonna stop. I just want him back. I want him home.

I lost my cat three nights ago. He got sick pretty quickly and I had to take him to the ER vet on Thanksgiving night, he was suffering, couldn’t breathe, and I had to make a decision I was not prepared for at all. I’ve been completely grief stricken. Even as a trained end of life Doula, have helped many friends with this process, I have been helping being cross over for decades, I have personally lost many loved ones and other pets, but this was so different. I had taken Titus in only about a year ago, but he was so very special, and he brought such joy to the rest of our home, communicated in such a unique way. I set up a kitty hospice at home, for about a week, playing healing frequencies, sending him reiki, but he quickly became so ill, it was such an emergent situation, I had to race him to the hospital on a dark rainy night, and could hear his cries, through the halls, as We both went into shock. I loved him so deeply,and was so connected with him, that I could feel his fear, and pain, and I became unhinged. I have so much guilt for the very final moments, not being able to comfort him, as he had lost so much blood, (anemic and lymphoma) that his body went into shock. I couldn’t keep it together, I tried, I promise you, by the time he had the first injection, I felt him slip away, and then felt him leave with the second one, before she confirmed it. Holding him, while this happened was extremely difficult, and I feel like I should have done so much better, but I wasn’t prepared for that yet, I was taken by surprise - I’d thought he just needed a treatment of some kind and we’d go home and have another month together. Leaving without him was surreal, living without him had been extremely painful, I haven’t gotten out of bed all day today. RIP sweet boy, thank you for sharing your life me, your sissy, and brother and kitten. I can’t wait to see you again.

Lost my best friend today. Known him ever since my brain started developing consciousness and was able to create memories and every single one of them is nothing short of a long lasting miracle. It is an absolutely gut wrenching and eye gouging feeling to come home and not hear him bark at me and run up to me. But I know he’s in a much better place than we can ever imagine and the only solace I can get out of it is that nothing is really dead as long as you have those memories for them. Love you and miss you so much rocky it’s painful every day without you.

i lost my dog just 2 months ago, she was my bestfriend, we always did stuff together,run,play and watch tv. I went on a trip for two weeks, and came back home. One week after arriving, she gets sick, it has happened before so i gave her this treatment that would usually help me,it didnt this time. My father took her to the vet, telling us, she doesn’t have many days left. That hurt so much, and then the next day i was the last one to see her smile, we went to pick up my sister,coming back home, i was the first one to find her and last one to touch her.the only fact that hurts me is that i cant hear her barking when i get home.

I lost my best friend today. He was 12 and a half, and was with me for just about most of my life. I'll never forget him, and I miss him so much already. Benji, my dog, had kidney disease and we made the super difficult decision to let him go over this last weekend. He helped me through everything bad in my life, was my comfort and my best friend. He made me happy, and he made me not feel so lonely. My bond with him was unique and amazing, and I'm so sad I'll never cuddle him again.

On Tuesday I finally had to say goodbye to my beloved little girl cat Lulu aged nearly 20. she has been my shadow for 17 years since i picked her up from the rescue shelter. She was a tiny, stroppy, funny, totally independent, dear little soul who kept this silly human sane when everything seemed to be falling apart. Lulu, Papa loves you so much, we'll be together again one day my darling. x

My 4-month old male kitten died today from accident. He was the only surviving kitten after my female cat lost two kittens three months ago. After supper, my dad was preparing food for the cats but the kitten was not present. We just thought he's stuck inside a room or just sleeping. When we can't see him inside the house, we searched outside and boom he was there one meter outside our gate lying dead with a severed hand. We suspect a vehicle run over him. It was surprising and saddening, I felt helpless and guilty at the same time. I had lost and grieved many pets but not as sudden as this. He was a very curious and playful kitten, never really liked being carried or cuddled, but still very lovable. Hope you're happy in kitty heaven, buddy. We miss you.

Lost one of my precious furbaby cats last Thurs afternoon after I had taken her to the vet. She was a beautiful gray and white tuxedo cat who was absolutely adorable as a kitten and a beauty when she got older. She was so sweet and affectionate! I've lost many cats over the years and it always hurts. But last night she came to me in a dream larger than life and i actually felt myself stroking her little nose and patting her head in the dream. I asked her to visit me and she did and I know she's safe and happy and with me always in spirit and in my heart forever! Have gone through a lot of loss with people as well, my whole family of origin, one of my three daughters to coma and brain injury and my husband five years ago after 42 years. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"! I believe in the Rainbow Bridge and an after life! What comes after the winter of our lives..Spring again....life is eternal and even if people don't make it to the winter of their life, it goes on in spirit..."we're all spirits having a human experience" or an animal experience....keep the faith! I've seen signs from the Other Side! Thanks for sharing this beautiful talk, much appreciated and healing!

I lost my baby two days ago after 10 years to kidney failure. We had to put him down on Saturday. I screamed and hollered when they told me I had to make that decision. I miss him so much… I’m currently trying to find videos that would help me through my grief I feel so bad and guilty giving the okay but I also knew the discomfort he may have went through… it’s so different not having him in my bed or following me around anymore after 10 years!!!! Pray for me. 😢🌈😩💛

This video is helping me. I have to put my 12 year old pug down in a couple days and I can’t deal. He was my first baby. I rescued him bc no one wanted him. He had been brought back three times. I took him and it was the hardest two weeks of my life. All he did was howl and jump up and down off the bed all night long. We remained very patient with him. Then suddenly he transformed after 2 weeks. He became the most amazing loyal, obedient, loving dog you could imagine.

Sending love and prayers for you. I have a sweet dog that I was lucky enough to have chosen me as her person. I know I am going to have to deal with the grief that is just on the extremely close horizon and it is getting ever closer. I will consider myself blessed to have just one more day with her. I am searching for some comfort just like you. I know that she will never truly leave me but this knowledge doesn’t make it easier. But how beautiful it is that the both of us were able to experience this amazing connection with our animals. I am forever grateful. Sending hugs for you.

I had to say goodbye to my beloved Salome 2 days ago. I knew she would not be returning home the way she was once we went to the vet. I prayed it was something simple but the vet said she had cancer. I told her without me hesitation it’s time to send her home. Salome knew and was so peaceful. She meowed to me and gave me love as she ways did and there was no fight. I was not prepared but I thanked God for her and how much of a gift she was. I held her as she took her last day breath on earth and she was released. I am grieving but I know where she is. I felt her that night on the bed little feet walking to go nite nite but I looked and nothing was there, but I knew. She is still present and she comes and goes. I call them fur angels.

I lost my 10 year old English Springer Spaniel 6 days ago. He had lung cancer and declined heavily over the past few weeks. In hindsight I know that Euthanasia was the best thing for him but I can't shake my heartbreak, guilt, shame, and tremendous sadness. I would give anything for one last high five, ear scratch, or snuggle. All I can think about was all my shortcomings as his owner, even if he lived an overall good life. The biggest lesson I've learned from this is to get my priorities in line, and appreciate the time I have with those I love. Never forget to tell your loved ones that you love them. I miss my boy so much.
