My Natalie Is With The Angels.... - Page 12 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

dabrat76 · 01-03-2008, 02:01 AM

Dena, having lost 2 dogs (not Yorkies) in under a month this past autumn, I completely understand what you're going through. I'm so very very sorry for your loss, and though it's trite, time DOES help a little. Though I freely admit to crying right now.

Two things I wanted to tell you - first, got the clothes, love them all

Second, when you're ready to do something with Natalie's ashes (1 and 2 months later I still can't even look at the urns that ours came back to us in) please search pet memorials (or PM me) and you'll find a wealth of different ways to honor her. There are ceramic urns (with breed or personalized pictures), photo box urns, necklaces that hold a small amount of ashes (this is what I plan on doing) and a lot more.

Please take care and don't let a single person tell you what you're feeling is wrong or exaggerated - they are your feelings are you are entitled to them.

*hugs*

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been off the computer since just before Christmas and I'm just seeing this. Hugs to you!

Hi there Dena, I am pleased to hear that Gracie is happier now, But how are you doing my friend? I think of you everyday, do you feel the hug in the morning?
Sending warm thoughts to you and yours.

My sweet poodle Cindy passed away 14 yrs ago today at 18 yrs old, and do you know that I shed a few tears for her this morning? After all these years. She was very special. Don't be afraid to grieve in any way you want - thats what makes us yorkie/dog lovers.

My Dear Sheilagh... always here with a smile, a hug and a precious word of comfort.... I'd be lost without you and everyone else here who has shown so much compassion since I lost my baby.

Me? Well, I'm doing whatever I can to keep my mind busy... the children will be coming home tomorrow from their Christmas visit with their Dad and I dread having to tell them of little Natalie's passing.... we were all so very close to her!

I received a lovely PM this morning from Jeanie (YorkieMom55) who has offered to, by the hands of her wonderful husband Chuck who is a woodworker, send a most beautiful wooden urn in which to hold Natalie's ashes. They made one for their own little guy Jack, who passed, and you can see a picture of it on her profile page.

I was so touched that she thought to offer such a wonderful gift... I will treasure it always.

I'm looking now, for just the right Yorkie figurine to affix to the top of the urn, along with a pretty golden name plate....

I just cannot say enough, how awestruck I am at the outpouring of love and support I have received here on YT - - even long before Natalie's passing - there were so many of you who showed such concern and care for my girls... each and every one of you could not be more appreciated.... and I feel as though I could not possibly be more blessed!

I wish I could have known your Cindy in some way Sheilagh - - for her to hold your heart even after so many years.... she must have been such a special girl! Perhaps she is now "showing Natalie the ropes" while they await our arrival to Rainbow Bridge!

Many blessings, friends....

I am so sorry again about your poor little baby. Talk about great timing on my end with sending that card to you. I feel like a dork now. I hope that it did not make you cry or anything. I would hate to cause you any pain in this sad time. Give Gracie a big hug for me and let her lay a ton of kisses on your face for me. I wish that I could do something to help ease your pain, but time is the only thing that can do that now. Keep your chin up. Things do get better.

Rusty's Momma · 01-03-2008, 05:07 PM

Dena,
There is a booth at "The Market" up by Quail that has quite a few yorkie figurines. I was there a couple of days ago and saw them.... just thought I would let you know... maybe you could check them out and find one maybe that feels right

Of course I cried.... but that's not the least bit uncommon these days.... and I think mostly, I was crying in acknowledgement of all of you here who keep on and keep on and KEEP ON showing us how very much you all are thinking of us and continuing to pray for peace.

Thank you so much for sending it - please don't feel anything but our great appreciation for your caring heart and concern!!

All the best to you!! <<hugs>>

Myzzbrat · 01-03-2008, 06:29 PM

Your in my thoughts and prayers for help in understanding why God needed another angel to help him. Your video is precious and a great way to say your final goodbyes to your precious baby. Life takes us down roads we never seem to understand. I believe the Lord gave you Natalie to make you a stronger woman in whatever way he saw. You will see your precious little girl again. You keep her in your heart, your dreams and your everyday life without thinking twice about it. She may not be there phsyically but she is there in spirit. God Bless You Dena. I wish you all the best...

stedmansmommy · 01-04-2008, 08:31 AM

Oh my goodness, I am just now seeing this. I had no idea that Natalie had passed until now

Goodness, I am just so incredibly sorry. I don't even know what to say

I am so, so, so very sorry for your loss. Natalie was a little doll. May she rest in peace

Mom2BabyNatalie · 01-06-2008, 12:23 PM

How ironic.... I was just looking at the orientation and meaning of different names and found that "Natalie" is a Latin name meaning, "Born at Christmas time".....
While Natalie was born in May.... she passed (was "re-born" to God) on Christmas day.... just kind of thought that was sort of a comforting find...

Hi, Dena. Since I was away for the holidays, away from the computer, I missed the passing of sweet Natalie. As I read your initial post, montage and subsequent posts, my heart is so heavy for you. There are no magic days, months or years that ever completely ease the heartache you will feel for Natalie. These blessed creatures bring such love and leave a lasting imprint on our hearts.

Please know that I understand how you feel since my beloved Sophie went to the Rainbow Bridge on January 23, 2007. Most of the YT's that read "In Memory Of" are able to understand your grief. There will always be the "what if's" but know the angels were by her side, and gently lifted her on her journey.

Warmly, Deborah

Dina_Nichole · 01-07-2008, 08:41 AM

I am so sorry about your loss.

I haven't been on here much lately and when I read this my heart just broke for you. May little Natalie rest in peace. You and your family will be in our prayers.

sAnDyiSm · 01-09-2008, 12:49 PM

i am so sorry for your loss.. it makes me tear up to see threads like these ones..

and i'm sure your natalie knew how much she was loved.. and i'm sure she loved you back just as much, if not more..

Mom2BabyNatalie · 01-10-2008, 05:29 PM

Jeanie,

I wanted to let you know that I received Natalie's box today....... Oh my goodness it is soooo pretty and beautifully made! Chuck did a fabulous job!! I couldn't be more pleased....

I want to THANK YOU both over and over again ... and please let me know what I owe you for this precious little piece!!

I received it this afternoon.... and OH how I CRIED!!! For HOURS it seems.... I collected all of the little things I wanted to put inside... said all the things I felt I needed to say.... let go of several more tears and a few VERY loud sobs - - said a special prayer for her, and for myself as well.... and tucked my little angel away...

The box sits with me at my desk and I'll probably take it into every room I go in for a while.... eventually, I do have a place for her in my bedroom.

I can't put into words how very much your kindess has meant to me.... <<hugs>>

Dena
