As many kind people in the SP community know, we lost our wonderful English cocker spaniel Gemma this week. Thank you to all for your wonderful support and kind words. They are really helping my daughter and I to cope.
This morning I understood that our pets are in our lives because they want us to be happy, and Gemma would never have wanted us to dwell on the last tragic hours of her life.
I have often heard people say that we should celebrate people's lives, not mourn their passing, so today we are continuing the healing process by trying to find joy in our lives, remembering the precious times and being so thankful that she brought us such love and delight and friendship.
I love your attitude. You are truly honoring Gemmy by finding the joy in life, just as she has done for 9 wonderful years. I am so sorry for the loss of your furbaby. They truly take up a huge part of our hearts. But know that once she crossed that Rainbow Bridge, she is happy.
My goodness I am so sorry. I have walked (somewhat) in your shoes. I lost my yellow lab to cancer nine years ago. I thought he had the flu. It was lymphoma. My precious yellow lab, Katie crossed that darn rainbow bridge on 4/30/11. We have shared your pain and it is just terrible. I miss my labs even now.
Yes, the spark community stands by you and weeps for your loss. Animals are here to just give love and joy and yes, leave a terrible void when they are gone.
Gemma loved you all with all her being .. She will be thankful that you didn't let her suffer ... She will always be in your hearts ...and all the wondeful memories of Gemma are there for you to keep. Love and Kisses .. Susie
