Rest in peace Prince

[yorkieloved]

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that nothing anyone can say will take away your hurt. They say time heals all wounds, but I know you will always have hole in your heart. I am sure he is sliding down rainbow bridge as we speak, and he is as happy as a lark. I hope things will soon look up for you. Good luck.

I am happy that having your little Prince home with you brings you comfort. It is comforting to me to have our babies and their things around us. They are still a part of us, no matter how much time passes. I also believe that our little girls shaped who we are as people, and they are a big part of our identity. About two weeks ago, my husband first looked at the papers we received when I brought Ashley back home with us. I looked at the paper work quickly and saw that the certificate of private cremation had Ashley's name on it. It was and still is a painful time for me, so I guess I didn't look very closely. My husband normally sees every detail, but even this is something I can't believe I missed. It had Ashley's name, but under her name is a spot where it had the name of her family. When my husband looked at the certificate, he immediately saw that it had a different family name instead of ours. It upset us, but we figured it was just a mistake, and we decided to call the pet cemetery to ask them to issue a new certificate. The more I thought about it, it started to occur to me that possibly they mixed up Ashley with the other family's baby. As you can probably imagine, it upset me so, but I didn't tell my husband because I knew how upset he would be. When I reached them the next day, they of course apologized and told me that they would immediately mail out a new certificate. I was very shaken by it all, and they knew it. I told them I still would never be sure that we had our baby. They assured me that it was her, and they told me that I could open the ashes up and find the original paperwork there. We opened up the ashes once I got home from work, and we definitely have our little girl, but we were really upset by it. It was a mistake that shouldn't have happened, and I think they need to be careful with the paperwork too, but neither of us were angry. We were certainly relieved, and it was a painful experience. I thought of starting a post to warn others to check their paperwork, but I don't know how to do it without upsetting anyone. I definitely understand the feelings you have, and I do hope that you start to remember the good times a lot with your sweet Prince. I know these memories will bring you happiness and comfort you, just as it does for us when we talk about our little girls.

This is such a sweet post, and I thank you for it. It's so nice to think of Prince, Becca, Nikky, Ozzy, Princess Tenci, Nika, Duncan, Clarence, my little girls, and all of the countless and precious babies that everyone has lost just as you described them at the Rainbow Bridge. I can only imagine the happiness we will feel when we can hold our babies once again and to see them happily playing. I think it will be like the excitement and happiness of coming home each day when they were with us and the feeling of warmth and love when they would run to greet us with such unconditional love.

Wow, that is unbelievable. I'm glad they had the original paperwork with her. I know you were extremely upset. I haven't read Prince's paperwork yet,
but will ask my husband to check it, just in case. I think it is a good idea to post a thread about what happened to you, so that it doesn't happen to anyone else.
You are so right about the memories bringing happiness and comfort. My husband and I were talking about some of the cute things Prince would do, and it brought a smile to our faces.
Thank you and take care friend.

I am glad everything worked out ok for you. This would upset me too.

Yes, the thought of all of the precious babies there was very comforting to me, knowing that they are all happy and playing with each other.

Thank you so much. It will be two weeks, tomorrow. We miss him so much, but we are so happy for the time we had with him.
