In April this year I lost my Sophie, a Yorkie, oh how I loved her. She was one day before her tenth birthday. I miss her desperately and just after her my mom died the end of May, so, it’s been an awful year.

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

@@lyndasnow9099 I'm so sorry to hear about your loss of Sophie and your mom. Losing two of your loved ones so close together-it’s no wonder this year has felt unbearably hard. Sophie must have been such a wonderful companion to you, especially with her nearing ten years and the bond you must have shared. It’s clear she brought so much love into your life. Grieving for both her and your mom is a lot to carry, so please know you’re not alone in these feelings. Take things one day at a time, and be gentle with yourself. Remember that both Sophie and your mom are always close to your heart, and their love for you will always be with you. Sending you so much comfort and strength in this difficult time.

My Anthony passed two weeks ago.He was 13 +.I'm so numb.My heart is empty.😢💔

[@lyndasnow9099]

@ Hi, I’m so sorry to hear about Antony, I know exactly how you feel. I lost Sophie in April, she was 10. I walk around looking for her all the time. She was a beautiful girl, a Yorkie, so happy all the time loved people, she used to think people were there to see her whenever there was a knock on the door. I loved her sooooo much. Give it time and you will start to see that you had a gift from God having had him for 13 yrs. It’s not easy, hang in there.

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

@@mariadidonato7781 I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a beloved friend like Anthony is truly heart-wrenching. Thirteen years is such a precious, full life, and I’m sure he brought so much joy and love to yours. The emptiness and numbness you’re feeling right now are completely natural - it’s your heart’s way of processing such a deep connection. Take things day by day, and remember that grief is a reflection of the love you shared. Anthony will always be with you in the beautiful memories you made together. Sending you all the warmth and comfort you need right now. 💔🐾

lost my soulmate Brenda yesterday, she was very sick since halloween and in pain. I got her when she was 8 months old she was taken by police with her sister (Donna) from some breeders who abused them. A friend got Donna and i got Brenda, they both were very scared.. always hiding under tables and never wanted to greet new people. She healed and enriched my life beyond what i could ever expect, she was 12.5 years and my heart broken and will never heal until i meet her again

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a soulmate like Brenda is heartbreaking, and it’s clear how deeply you loved her and how much she meant to you. It sounds like you gave her a life filled with love, safety, and healing, which is the greatest gift you could have offered. She was so lucky to have you as her person, and the bond you shared will always be a part of you. Even though your heart feels broken now, hold onto the memories and the love you shared-it will always connect you. One day, when the time is right, you’ll meet her again, and that reunion will be beautiful. Until then, she’ll always be with you in spirit, watching over you. Sending you so much love and strength during this difficult time. ❤

[@waldo2543]

I am so sorry for your loss, I just said goodbye to my best friend less than 4 hours ago, im broken, she stuck with me through all my deployments overseas and all the ups and downs in my life, I know I need to clean my home up but I also dont want to get rid of things like her favorite blanket or bed just because of the smell. She was a lab\springer who was 17 yrs old, we used to exercise a lot together, I also used to work in group homes with folks with disabilities and at one point I was putting her through therapy dog training, getting deployed stopped this. I am just broken, I know dogs of her breed lab\springer dont last this long but nothing permeates my thoughts more than "what could I have dont to get her to 20".

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

@@waldo2543 I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. It’s clear how much your best friend meant to you and the incredible bond you shared. Seventeen years is an amazing lifetime for a lab/springer, and that’s a testament to the love, care, and companionship you gave her every single day. It’s so hard to let go, especially when they’ve been with you through everything-deployments, life’s ups and downs, and even plans for therapy work. It’s okay to feel broken right now. Her blanket, her bed, her smell-they’re all pieces of her, and it’s normal to want to hold onto them. Take your time; there’s no rush to let go of those things. And as for the thoughts of “what could I have done to get her to 20”-it’s such a human and loving thing to think, but please try to be kind to yourself. You gave her a long, full, and beautiful life that not many dogs are lucky enough to have. She exercised with you, shared your journey, and knew she was deeply loved. Grief is heavy, but so is love, and that love will always stay with you. Be gentle with yourself right now, and when you’re ready, remember her not just with pain but with gratitude for the incredible moments you shared. She’ll always be part of your heart.

[@MarghatBrenda]

@@waldo2543 I’m so sorry for your loss. I can truly feel the depth of your pain, and I want you to know that I share in your grief. Losing a dog is like losing a part of yourself, and it sounds like both of us are trying to come to terms with the weight of that empty space. It’s so hard when that constant, loving presence is suddenly gone. I can relate to how difficult it is to know what to do with their things-those items that carry the scent and the memories of all the moments you shared together. You and your dog, just like me and mine, spent so much time together, and those bonds are irreplaceable. The "what could I have done?" thoughts can be overwhelming, but please know that you did everything out of love and care for her. Just like I did for my own dog, you gave her a life filled with adventure, comfort, and companionship. The pain of their loss is sharp, but the love you gave them will always remain. Take your time, and know you’re not alone in this. Grief doesn’t have a timeline, and it’s okay to hold on to those memories as long as you need to.

I just losing my dog this morning. He is 8years old pug...since the day we meet, we spend time together. we are like bonding each other. What i eat ,he eat. He never like the dog foods..he like black coffe just like me, what kind the dogs love coffee?? I took him with me everytime i go around.. Oh damn feels, i feels sad but cannot cry just like the other..it just some tears but release the pain 😢😢

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a dog who’s been such a close companion is incredibly hard, especially when you've shared so many moments together. It sounds like you had a unique bond, one that not everyone would understand - sharing meals, a love of coffee, and every day together. Grief can feel different for everyone, and it’s okay if your tears come slowly or in unexpected moments. Sometimes, the pain just settles in, and that's still very real. Know that your pug felt loved and happy being by your side, living a life full of adventure and connection. He may not be physically with you now, but the memories you built together are always going to be a part of you. Take all the time you need to heal. Sending you lots of comfort. 🕊💔

I lost my 12 year old Border Heeler two days ago. She was fighting so hard to hang on. She really did teach me how to stay positive and to love. Her heart just gave out. She was so loved and loved unconditionally. I gonna miss her so much. Knowing she is not having to fight anymore is comforting. Mackenzie I'll see you again one day.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Mackenzie sounds like such a beautiful soul who gave you the kind of unconditional love that only a dog can give. It’s heartbreaking to lose her, especially knowing how hard she fought to stay by your side. But the love you shared will always be with you, and the lessons she taught you-about staying positive and loving deeply-are a part of you now. It’s comforting to know she’s no longer fighting, but I know how much you’ll miss her. Hold on to the thought that one day, you’ll see her again, and until then, she’ll always be with you in spirit. Sending you so much love during this difficult time. ❤

Angel your Daddy misses you running around, little ears flopping to your gait, to keep up with him while he worked around the house. Amelia, my co-gardener always just feet away when I was in the garden. You each bonded especially to one of us, but together, we were the "fantastic 4". You were rescues that we adopted. Angel right away and Memi ... after placing you twice, you were brought back because you mourned being apart from us. I'm so glad you insisted on being ours!!!! Angel you crossed rainbow bridge first (2023). Memi just months later (2024)We see and hear you in our hearts. We miss you terribly. ❤ God, please watch our babies. 😢😢😢😢😢

Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt tribute to Angel and Amelia. They sound like such loving, devoted companions, each with their own unique bond with you. It must be so comforting to know that, even as rescues, they found their forever home with you-a place they never wanted to leave. I can imagine the special moments in the garden and around the house, and I hope those memories bring you peace and warmth. Angel and Memi will always be part of your ‘fantastic 4.’ May they continue watching over you from the Rainbow Bridge. ❤🐾

I lost my Companion Dog Max Sat, 26OCT2024 after 13yrs 10mos 6 days suddenly from health issues. I had him since he was 4 days old, packed him from the litter as he was yhe fistiest. He was the most loving friend who never left my side and loved every good person he met. A true velcro Dog; Bathroom, shower, eating, dressing, doing any chore or project, he had to be able to see me or he would bark until he could. I made sure to play with him EVERYTIME I came home, no matter how busy. This video was great and so accurate. I hear phantom paw steps, and his collar jingling throughout the day. Everything around me reminds me of him, and made me realize just how much I thought about and interacted with him everyday. From the second I woke up, to the moment he jumped up or I put him in my bed to sleep. I will miss him terribly and look forward to seeing him again when it's my time to crossover. Thank you for this video.

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story of Max's life. What an incredible connection the two of you shared. Max sounds like he was a truly special companion, with his protective spirit and constant presence by your side, and I can only imagine how deeply his absence must feel. Hearing those "phantom paw steps" and the jingle of his collar shows just how closely his spirit remains with you, almost as if he’s letting you know he’s still watching over you, in his own way. You gave him so much love, care, and attention, making sure he was never alone and always included in your day-to-day. It’s clear he had a life filled with happiness and purpose, and that bond you shared is something neven time can't take away. Please hold on to those beautiful memories, and know that Max will always be close to you in spirit, watching over the one person who meant the world to him. Wishing you comfort and peace until you meet again on the other side. Thank you for allowing us to know a little of Max’s story, and please take care. 🌈

BooBoo, my sweet girl, I’m so grateful for being able to be your fur Mom for the past 5 years, you have been the light of my life and I will never forget you. You changed my heart and will always be a part of my soul, I truly believe. I asked my Dad to make sure he took care of you when you crossed over the rainbow bridge, and I know he was there, along with Renny, one my sister’s pomeranians who passed away just a month ago. Boo passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon, on her own, at home, with us. For the brief 5 years Boo was with us, she was the light of my life. Boo was rescued originally by my sister from a California rescue group who found her wandering the desert somewhere in California. When my sister got her, she believed she was 5 years old but we’re not sure. My sister loved her and took good care of her for 5 years but when I went to visit, I fell in love with her right away, so my sister allowed me to take her back to Ontario with me. Boo started to have health issues (congestive heart disease) within a year of bringing her back. So, I did everything to make her quality of life the best it could be, and it absolutely was! I made her heart healthy dog food, took her for daily walks and gave her medicine religiously. She was happy and loved and had the best quality of life a dog could ever have. Boo, we will miss you, but I feel your energy in our home and backyard, and I know you are always going to be with me. 🌈💔😭

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

What a beautiful tribute to BooBoo. She sounds like such a special soul, and it’s clear she found the perfect, loving home with you. To be loved so deeply and cared for with such dedication is truly a gift, and Boo was incredibly lucky to have you as her fur mom. It’s touching to know that your dad and Renny were there to greet her on the other side-what a comforting thought, knowing she’s in loving company. You gave her a life filled with love, health, and joy, and even though she’s crossed the Rainbow Bridge, her spirit and energy will always stay with you, surrounding you with the love you shared. Sending you so much warmth and strength. 🌈💔🐾

[@themangavin0140]

I had a Husky named Kita, whom I named myself when we got her at 2 months old. She was my joy, my sweet furry brown eyed, energetic, snack-loving friend. How we used to play, those walks we took at sundown, sitting on a hill just the two of us, on a green field, seeing her every morning come tippy-toeing to my window the second she heard it opening, and then barking at me as if she was saying “good morning, where are my snacks? Let’s go walk! Come down here and stroke me!” The day before yesterday I lost her. She went on to doggy heaven, and I wasn’t there to hold her beautiful paw as her gorgeous soul left her beautiful furry body. I will carry this regret forever as long as I live, but I also cherish all those memories we created together. I will miss looking into her sweet, sweet eyes, and saying I love her more than anything in this world, cause she was my little sidekick, my little companion, and lifelong friend. Kita, my sweet freind. Carry on to your final rest. I find peace in the belief that you will wait for me through the years, and when God calls for me to come, you will be at the gate and jump around and bark, like you used to do to our home gate every time I came in with the car. I love you eternally, I will cherish you and our memories forever. Rest easy my joy, my furry sweet-souled pup❤️🐕😢

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

Thank you for sharing this deeply moving story about your beloved Kita. It’s so clear how much love and joy she brought into your life-and how much you gave to her in return. I can picture those tender moments: her eager bark, her sweet brown eyes, her tippy-toe mornings. She was more than a dog; she was your soul companion, your family, your heart. I know the pain of not being there in her final moments must weigh heavily on you, but please know this: Kita carried with her the love and bond you shared, which is stronger than anything in this world. She knew she was cherished, deeply and completely, and that love will always connect you. I truly believe she’s now running free, waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge, her spirit vibrant and full of joy. One day, she’ll greet you with that same bark, that same boundless love. Until then, hold onto those beautiful memories-your walks, your mornings, your quiet moments on the hill. Kita was a gift, and the love you shared will never fade.

My Lukey. He was my first rescue dog. My first bully breed kind of a dog. He came into my life and changed everything. I didn't know it at the time but Luke became my soul dog. He was the most sensitive, loving, affectionate and perceptive dog I've ever owned. He was my very best friend, companion, protector and buddy. He unfortunately got very sick in April of this year and deteriorated very rapidly soon after. My life has forever been altered by his passing. He was around 12 years old and we had 10 wonderful years together. The only thing that gives me some relief from the unbearable pain is that I believe I will see him again one day.

Please know that your feelings are valid, and I’m sending you all my love as you remember the special bond you shared with him. He will always hold a place in your heart. 🐾❤

My yorkie 13 1/2. Getting ready for his time. A lot of health issues this last year. Had since 5 weeks old. My last pets were 4 cats & a beagle. ALL GONE.

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. After so many years together, it’s incredibly hard to face this time. Your Yorkie has been with you through so much, and you’ve been there for him every step of the way, just as you were for all your other pets. It’s clear that your love and care have given him a beautiful life. Even though it doesn’t take away the heartache, know that you’ve given him the best gift-a life filled with love and companionship. Remember, he’ll always be with you in spirit, as are the others who have touched your heart. Sending you comfort and strength during this tender time. 🐾💔❤

[@dorothyrose6189]

We will see them again one day. Great story on your post. Susan Rose ❤😊

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

I am so sure we will! Thank you ❤

My heart is physically feeling pain.

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

I'm so sorry you're feeling this pain. Losing a beloved dog is like losing a piece of your heart, and it's completely natural to feel it physically as well as emotionally. It just shows how deeply you loved and were loved in return. Please know you’re not alone, and your feelings are valid. Sending you love and comfort during this incredibly hard time. 💔🌈

I buried my last dog in 2018. A couple years ago, I started caring for a stray cat that showed up at my place. He died yesterday. He was an old fellow. He had become a close friend. I miss him terribly. ALREADY!!! It's very hard, losing our four legged friends.

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a pet, especially one who had become a close friend, is incredibly painful. It sounds like you shared a special bond with him, and it’s completely understandable to miss him already. Our furry friends leave such a significant impact on our lives, and it’s hard to say goodbye. Please know that you’re not alone in this, and I’m sending you love and comfort as you navigate through this difficult time. 🐾❤.

[@BlitzenSpeaks]

@Rivers.Of.Spirit Thanks. When he first showed up, I never thought we would be so close. But we were! He talked to me constantly; too bad I don't speak Cat. In a few weeks, he was my Cat, and my little buddy. It's only been three weeks, and I miss that cat all the time.

[@BlitzenSpeaks]

@Rivers.Of.Spirit Also, the photo is of my last dog _Blitzen._ Tainted dog food from Chyna killed him. I had no idea it was bad. Lots of people lost their dogs to it that year. Blitzen was my fourth GSD rescue. This photo was taken just after I got him home. We had three and a half years together. I miss him all the time too. If my health were better, I would have another GSD rescue. The cat just showed up one day. I never thought to take a picture of him. He was a beautiful American Bobtail.

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

@@BlitzenSpeaks Thank you for sharing Blitzen’s story with us. It’s heartbreaking to hear about what happened, and I can only imagine how much you miss him. Blitzen was so lucky to have found a loving home with you, and it's clear that the years you spent together were deeply meaningful. Four GSD rescues-what an incredible legacy of love and care you’ve given to these amazing dogs. Wishing you strength and comfort, and hoping that, in some way, Blitzen’s memory continues to bring you peace. 💙

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

@@BlitzenSpeaks It’s amazing how quickly they can become such a big part of our lives, isn’t it? It sounds like he really had a special way of communicating with you, even without words. Three weeks may feel short, but the bond you formed was profound. Missing him is a testament to the love you shared. Sending you comforting thoughts. It's clear he left a paw print on your heart. 💕"

Ny sweet girl Cookie will be 14 next month and although she's not at the end now I know realistically that day is coming in the not so distant future whether she passes away on her own or her overall health deteriorates to the point of forcing me to make the choice to end her suffering. Sadly it can easily get to the point where you're not doing them any favors by keeping them alive and although I honestly don't think Cookie is at that point now I do try to be mindful to not let it get to the point where her life is nothing but suffering. She still enjoys the things she has always enjoyed and one of the things I'm watching for is if she loses all interest in things she's always liked.

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

That’s such a loving and thoughtful perspective to have, and it’s clear how much you cherish Cookie. It’s incredibly difficult to think about these things, but being mindful of her joy and comfort shows how dedicated you are to her well-being. Cookie is so lucky to have someone who understands her and puts her needs first. Every day you share together is a gift, and I hope you continue to make beautiful memories. When that day does come, you’ll be able to hold on to the peace that you did everything out of love. Sending you both lots of warmth and strength. ❤

I just lost my Cinda 2 weeks ago. She was almost 16.... my heart is broken 💔

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

I'm so sorry for your loss. 💔 Sixteen years is such a beautiful, long life filled with love, but it still feels far too short when it comes to saying goodbye. Cinda will always be a part of your heart, and the love you shared is something that will never fade. Take all the time you need to grieve-it's a testament to how much she meant to you. Remember, she felt your love every single day, and that’s the greatest gift you could have given her. Sending you so much love and healing during this difficult time. 🌈🐾

I'm so sorry for your loss. Maddie sounds like she was more than just a pet-she was truly a part of you and a source of comfort and love through life’s toughest moments. It's amazing how these little souls come into our lives when we need them most, giving us strength and companionship. She was there for you through so much, and your love for each other is something truly special. Hold onto those memories; she’ll always be with you in spirit. Sending you all the love and strength.

Let me name them: Snuggles; Sir Thomas of Ayre; Tuppence; Chief; Kilroy; Abigail; Jennifer; Tippy; Peppi; Toto; Spence; Coslett; Murphy; Teddy Bear; Molly; Annie; Holly; Ada; a poodle pup that heartless people ran over; and a litter of puppies and the still living Maddie, who I think is Kilroy reincarnated. My heart is full with thinking of seeing them again.

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

Your list of names is a beautiful testament to the love you've shared with each of these precious souls. 🐾💖 It’s clear they’ve each left pawprints on your heart, and the thought of reuniting with them brings such warmth and comfort. Every cherished memory is a reminder of the joy they brought into your life. And the idea of Kilroy being reincarnated in Maddie is so touching! May your heart continue to be filled with love and hope as you hold onto the memories of all your furry friends. 🧡🌈

My Toby passed away this past Sunday. 17yrs I had him since 3months old I about to buried him in the back yard. As I send this comment. 😂😂I missed he so much.

[@Rivers.Of.Spirit]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Toby sounds like he was such a loyal friend and a big part of your life for so long. Seventeen years is an incredible journey together, and I'm sure he knew how much you loved him. As you lay him to rest, know that his spirit and all those memories will always be with you. Sending you peace and comfort during this difficult time. 🕊🐾
