Brooke,

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your little one. It has to be particularly devastating given that you thought you were taking every possible step to keep her save (arranging for pet sitting, putting her in an enclosure).

When my father died (something which destroyed me), I remember the priest asking how much/what I would have paid to have that lovely person in my life for a single day. (The answer, of course, is that you would pay anything for the joy of it). He pointed out that there had never been a cost associated with knowing the joy and the love of my dad. But now that he was gone, the pain I was feeling was the payment I had to make.

I think it's the same for your pupster. The pain you are now feeling is the payment for the love and joy she gave to you! Just know that it will get somewhat easier with time.

I will pray for you...pray that you find a sense of peace.
