It may help to talk about Channel, and if you want to share about the joys of her life, photos, etc., this is a wonderful place to do it. We'd love to hear about your special girl.
Also, some people write a "Thank You Letter" to their beloved pet, and list 10 things they were thankful for, and post in the Memorial-RIP section.
My Meika girl died in my arms a year ago at the age of 5 (due to toad poisoning) and I still well up with tears just thinking about her. I have many good memories, and I have 3 other pups I adore, but that hole in my heart is still there.... missing her always. |
Thank you so much! I just read that thread you suggested and when she said to snuggle something furry and talked about ashes..it made me feel like less of a freak. I have been sleeping with Chanel's ashes rolled up in her furry blanket that still smells like her. I didn't do it the first night without her and I kept waking up in a panic that she had fallen out of the bed because I am so used to feeling her right next to me. The next night I was just feeling so bereft that out of desperation I rolled all that I have left of her( her ashes in a little box that also has her baby teeth and a little ponytail of her hair) in her blanket and cuddled it. That sounds maudlin but it did make me feel better and it made me feel closer to her.
Thank you so much for sharing
