I hope the joy they brought you brings you some comfort during this difficult time. You will meet again, they both wait for you at at the Rainbow Bridge.
RIP Sweet Angels, Kia and Sydney...you will always be loved and never forgotten.

Thank you, for your kind words. I long for the day, when I am with my sweet girls again.

They are in my thoughts every day.

Sadly you are left alone as they are now together at the Bridge, waiting to be reunited with you when the time comes. They do take a huge chunk of our hearts when they leave us, but at the same time, they remain in our hearts, forever.

The only thing I have found to ease the pain of Yorkie Loss is Yorkie Love. I am glad to hear you are considering adding another in the future, as I know then your heart will begin to heal... and from experience... the sooner the better. You've been a wonderful Yorkie Mommie to your babies, and I know there is another one out there that could greatly benefit from your love and caring.

There is never 'getting over the loss' of a beloved Yorkie, and only those who have a Yorkie in their lives understand that. It's too big of a concept for others to grasp. I feel sorry for those people, because knowing the love of a Yorkie is the absolute best thing in the world, and they are missing out on it. The pain of Yorkie loss is also the worst thing in the world, but it's worth it to have experienced the Love they share with us every day.

And they would never understand the physical pain we feel after a loss. I thought my heart was going to burst, I kept having chest pains everyday. My heart would not stop aching, and I felt as if there was a huge, gaping hole in my heart. And the crying... oh dear, I think I cried everyday for months, and thought I would lose my mind. I felt silly at times to be sooo upset, and no one understood what I was feeling... heck, I didn't even understand it. Finally, after two years of sadness, I decided to get another Yorkie, and so glad I did. The first thing I noticed was that I was smiling every morning when I saw that cute little face looking up at me, wondering what was in store for the day. That's when I realized I could never live a full life without a Yorkie in it... so I will never try that again.

Sorry for the book... and I hope you pain eases quickly. Bless you and praying for God to help you through... Hugs, Kathy

Thank you, Kathy.

When Sydney died, I crawled into bed for two months. I couldn't do anything but cry, or sleep through the pain. And every Thursday for the 1st year, the depression began all over again. It was the 1st day she refused to eat. And I was in bed for 4 days.

Then, it finally went down to one weekend a month.

But I still break down over Sydney.

Kia was also grieving. She didn't remember a life without Sydney.

So, the two of us, clung to each other.

And now, I am back in that same deep, dark hole of depression.

You are so right, there is no "getting over" losing our Yorkies.

I still don't leave the house, except to go to the doctor or hospital for tests.

My MS progressed again, when my little Kia died.

I think, in time, I will find another little girl to love.

My heart, "beats Yorkie".

People say, "Dogs need us", but I believe, we need them.

Thank you for understanding, so well, what I am feeling, Kathy.

Hugs,
Sheila

I am just so sorry. Have tears running down my face. I know I will have a broken heart in the near future since my Rosie is going downhill. These little tiny creatures add so much to our lives but take so much away when they leave. Blessings. ~Joanne~

Having lost a fur kid myself I understand the deep misery and emptiness that you feel. It is like the air is sucked out of our lives and our world is so quiet and lonely. No words can console you at this awful time, but perhaps knowing so many care and feel for you will help a little. Your sweet babies are together again and playing happily at the Rainbow bridge. The love you have for them does not fade and the happy memories are with you forever. Thinking of you and praying you will find peace and acceptance as time goes by and that you will one day find a little ball of fur to love and help fill the hole in your heart. Love and hugs.

Thank you so much. Kia was truly a beautiful little girl. Inside and out. And the pain of losing both, Sydney & Kia has devastated me.
I am so sorry that you have also lost a fur-baby.
I feel like my life has been destroyed.

It does help to know that so many people understand how I feel.

Thank you for praying for me.

I hope one day, I will find another little girl to love, and she will have her own place in my heart.

Hugs,
Sheila

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your little Kia. I hope you go on and give another baby a wonderful home. Kia would want you to go on and love another as you loved her. When we lost our dear Keally in 2010 we were so devastated but we knew she would of wanted us to love another as much as we loved her. Today we have a three year old yorkie named Kinder and God gave us an angel It is so hard to say good bye to our babies I sure wished they could live a long life like fifty years. Take care of and take one day at a time . Remember all those wonderful memories of Kia and best of all you were a great mom to her. Susan

I know your babies must have helped you through some tough times. The beauty of it is that they almost certainly were helped through tough times from your love too. I think it's every bit as good for them as it for us, and that's saying a lot since our sweethearts bring us so much love and companionship. The pain of losing them is the price I guess we have to pay to love someone so much. I think we both came out ahead even though the loss is so deeply hurtful though. Thank you Sydney and Kia and also thank you Sheila for bringing joy to this Earth.

Joanne,

Thank you. I pray that your Rosie will live a lot longer. These beautiful little angels do not live long enough.

I am so lost without my little Kia.

Thank you, Susan. I think it may be a long time before I am ready for another puppy. I am up and down with my grief. I know I will never love another Yorkie the way I loved my Sydney and my Kia. 17 years is a long time. But I know if and when the day comes, I will love another, just differently.

I am so glad that you have Kinder.

It's only been 3 months on the 28th, and it took me two years to be able to look at pictures of Sydney.

Yes, my babies truly did help me through some very tough times. My Sydney always knew when my MS nerve pain was really bad, and she'd press her little body against my spine. And Kia slept on my pillow, and when I woke in the night, in pain, she would give me tiny Yorkie Kisses.

Losing them is a high price to pay. But you are right, it is the price we have to pay, when we love someone so much.

Yes, we both came out ahead even though the loss is so extremely painful.

Thank you for your very kind words.

Sheila, my dear friend,
I think about you so often. You know how special you are to me and I am so sorry you are grieving so. It just isn't fair to loose both of your babies in that manner.

Your are one of the best Yorkie moms I have ever met and it would be a tragedy if you never owned another one.

You know from experience that one doesn't replace another but another one will expand the love in your heart. When you are ready, when it is time, you will know.

Hugs sweet lady! I miss seeing you on FB

Oh Sheila,
So sorry to hear about your loss. You are so right - Yorkie love is the key!
When I lost my Puddin' it ripped my heart out and I said never again - 4 months later Cali came into my life and and it was like life had been renewed ! Find a little girl to love when you are ready to give all your love again.

Best
Jay

My heart aches for you. I am so sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel. I lost my precious October in April. It was an accident and happened suddenly. I've never felt so much pain in my whole life. I have never experienced such sadness, grief and sorrow. She was my angel. I have three Chihuahuas, but October was my precious baby girl.

She was with me day and night. I only work 2 days a week, but when I do, she was always with me. On vacations - she was there. Everywhere I was, October was also. So learning to live life without her is devastating and SO hard. I can't even explain how painful it is. The only thing that has gotten me through is the strength the Lord has given me.

I am so sorry that you lost your precious little one. I cannot say how sorry I am. I feel your heart ache and your loss. I am just so very sorry.

Hi, Lou, my sweet friend,

I think of you very often, too.

No, it really isn't fair that I lost both my sweet girls that way, and with Kia, it needn't have happened. My Vet let her down, when she needed him most.

Thank you, my girls brought out the best in me.

I hope someday, to find another baby to love, but my girls are a tough act to follow.

Yesterday, it was 3 months, since I held my tiny Kia in my hands, and she took her final breathe.

I miss you on Facebook, too-watch for a "Friend Request"

(((HUGS)))

Thank you for your heartfelt words. I am so sorry that you lost your precious little October.

When we lose them so suddenly, the grief is unbearable.

My Kia was a "Mama's Baby", like your October. She slept on my pillow, and one of her little beds was in my bathroom, because I couldn't even shower without her wanting to be in the bathroom.

I am still not adjusted to living without her, or Sydney.

The house is so quiet & empty.

I do understand your pain, because I am living it.

We bought our travel trailer, so our girls could go everywhere with us.

Now, we are selling it, because the mere thought of a trip, brings on too many memories.

I don't think we ever get over the pain, we just learn to live with it.

Sheila,

I am so very sorry, I know completely and fully how you feel. My October couldn't bear the thoughts of being without me either, so she was always in my bathroom as I got ready each day. She would lay right on my robe and anxiously await as I stepped out of the tub every morning. Often, I would peek around the shower curtain just to see what she was up to while she waited. And every time...she was there. She was everywhere her mommy was. And my love for her was so deep as was her love for me. The bond we have with our angels is absolutely amazing and one words cannot accurately describe.

It is so hard, and indescribable, when we lose our precious babies. I had a melt down last night (as I do often still) and I simply prayed and asked God to be my strength, because my strength is always insufficient. And I take it moment by moment. Trying to face it day by day is too draining for me, so I take it little by little.

The re-adjusting to losing our babies is one of the hardest things to try and do (I still can't believe I am saying this, because I still can't believe October is not here with me as I type this). Our home is not the same without our baby girl - my husband and I talked about this (for the millionth time) again last night. Her portrait (we had painted of her and our other babies) still hangs over our sofa in our living room and I will never take it down.

Life will never be the same without precious October and precious Kia, or sweet Sydney - never - so trying to live without them leaves a void. Life will always be different from this point on, and it is so hard. So you are right, the pain does not go away and the loss does not go away - and
learning to live with it is the most difficult thing. It is, in fact, the hardest thing I have ever had to face.

It is so real, so painful and unbearable. Its as though you feel there is a weight and it is SO heavy on your shoulders and it will not leave. At times, it takes your breath away. And a piece of you is missing. It is so hard.

I have a video that I'd like to share with you, it really helped me. I'm getting ready to leave to take my baby Oli to drop her off at the vet for her dental (nervous wreck) but when I get back I will send you a link. It was comforting to me, so maybe it will be to you as well.

I will pray for you today.

I am just so sorry for your loss. Know I am right there with you and you are not alone.
