Visited her grave today... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

eensor · 07-31-2005, 02:48 PM

I was walking around the yard with my husband today and made myself go to the graves of Gracie and Scruffy. There were grass clippings on Gracie's tombstone and as I brushed them off, it almost felt like I was touching her. I can't explain it, it was an unexpected gift. I miss them so much, but especially my baby Gracie. She was ALL THAT and I love her so.

you are in my thoughts today and your post brought tears to my eyes as I remember my precious harriet who passed on 9 months ago. I still find it too sad to go to her grave it takes time.

My heart is crying for you today. When I lost my Molly it was like i had
lost a family member. She was always there for me and slept curled
up by my neck. These little angels are a gift from God. I said I would
never get another since I couldn't stand the pain but 6 mos after I
did start looking and although I will never forget my Molly; this one is
doing an extremely good job taking her place. I'll pray for you tonight.

This was very touching. They knew you were there - that's why you felt that. As much of a bond we share with these babies - they ARE watching and waiting to be with us again.

Big hugs to you ...that had to be sad yet make you feel closer to them by visiting. Very sorry for your loss...you really touched me with this post.

Thank you all. I know I get mushy, but they were my babies. I wish you all could have known them.

i'll pray for you tonight. that must have been a wonderful feeling that you got. i got teary eyed reading your post, i'm so sorry they seem like the sweetest little babies. they'll always be with you, and i'm sure lexy helps too.

My heart aches for you. I know you miss Gracie. Can't imagine the pain and grief you've gone through.

I can't even begin to imagine the pain that you are in. Just think that she will always be in your heart and that every day that goes by it will get easier!

bkessler · 08-01-2005, 06:05 AM

Sometimes its good to cry!! I am glad you worked up the courage to go out there to visit her.. i still pray every night at Jellybeans and Mochas ashes!! It helps with the healing process!!

teri88 · 08-01-2005, 08:14 AM

Oh, how touching! It really doesn't get easier. My theory is that the pain doesn't go away, it's just that as we move on it's not the foremost thing in our minds, and we think about other things. But when we stop and think about them, it's just as sad as when it happened. But remember, as long as Gracie is in your heart (and Scruffy) they do live on! Bandit will be gone 3 months on the 11th and when I look at his picture I still cry. I've lost a baby daughter, my mom and my dad so I'm no stanger to mourning. Love is love, and when you lose someone, human or otherwise, it's the same in your heart. You are in my prayers.

Yes, I am proud to be her mom! Although sometimes I wonder which one of us is the adult! She's a great kid, if only she'd clean that bedroom of hers! lol
