From my own experience, it does seem to get more difficult as time passes. But trust me that there will come a time when the overwhelming, powerful, happy moments overpower the sad ones. It will never be easy, but I promise it will get easier. From all of my loved ones I have lost, I can honestly tell you that love lasts forever. Rosie will always be in your heart.

The first few weeks are really rough. I remember 2.5-3 weeks or so after Minnie died I had a dream I was holding this beautiful cute yorkie puppy, but I couldn't stop crying because Minnie was the only yorkie I wanted to be holding. I woke up feeling wrecked, and it was probably the saddest dream I have ever had. It eventually got better, but was very hard for a while

What a precious gift you received from the vet staff...a treasure for you to cherish.

Grieving for April ( my yorkie) 4/19/2014
 

I'm so blessed' for this amazing website!
Dear Carmen,

I'm praying for us. We have to have faith our babies are not suffering. I miss my precious April and kiss her urn throughout the day. I have to smell her little collar and I can't seem to go to the vet and get her paw print. Makes me sick to my stomach! !

I ask the same question... God please take the pain and heal my broken heart. Our house is not the same and her Lil sister misses her so much. I wish April Maple, my Lil skinny butt, big dog! She just thought she was hot stuff ( lol). She had the the most precious face.

They say time will heal. I can't wait.

Praying for all of us who lost a special soul-mate!

Love April's mommy!

April's mommy, I know you must feel the same as I do. I'm so sorry our babies aren't here anymore but they live on in our hearts and memories. April had such a good mommy. When you are ready, go to the vet for her pawprints you will be happy you did so. Looking at Rosie's reminds me how sweet her little feet were and how big a mark they've left on my heart. I had a bad day and focused on the negatives but it did no good. I will try to remember only the good, and pray you can do the same. Big hugs to you.

Lisa said it best. Love doesn't die. It lasts forever. :love:

Carmen, I am so sorry this painful period of grieving is so difficult at times. I know that feeling of just wanting to run fingers through their hair, one more time.

I want to feel or touch or smell something of Meika's. I wish I had her paw print. It has been 4 1/2 months, and I still have those days of crying my eyes out and wishing I could have saved her.

All I know is that there is a bunch of wonderful pups playing in heaven, and we have to keep honoring them and holding on to the love they brought to our lives.

I am so sorry for your loss of precious Rosie.

I'm sitting here with tears just streaming down my face after reading about your little Rosie. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Tony and Rosie's little sissy. Rest in Peace sweet baby girl and always know how every much you are loved.

I didn't want to start a new thread but Barney, a dog that I've been babysitting for the past few months died last night. Apparently his owner (my bffs mom) set him on a table and he fell off. Broke his leg, severed his spinal cord and suffered brain trauma so he was PTS....so very sad. This pup was extremely young and we had gotten close. He was like a cousin to my girls. Makes me sick that he was perfectly healthy (unlike my Rosie) yet got his life cut short because of what I frankly view as neglect...so so sad. RIP Barney :love:

I am soooo sorry. How horrible and it does go beyond sad because it could have been prevented

Don't feel pressured to move on. Everyone grieves in their own way, men ten to try and act like they are not hurting but I am sure Tony misses her too. I love that Rosie visits you in your dreams, maybe this is her little spirits way of giving you comfort. I am not a religious person but it has been proven that energy can not be destroyed, it can be moved, changed, transformed but it never ceases to exist. Know that is Ok to feel whatever you are feeling and you know all of YT is here with open arms and a shoulder to cry on if you need it. We send healing thoughts your guys way.

Carmen, if money were the issue, I promise you I would have made sure she was taken care of. I spoke with the vet and Rosie was an extremely sick little one and even if she had pulled out of it that day, it would have been short lived. Her prognosis was grim. She had multiple and very serious issues.

Please don't do this to yourself. You did all that you could do. Yes, money was an issue yet you put her before your feelings and you were willing to surrender her to someone who could care for her. When the vet explained to me how bad she was I knew it was only a matter of time and I felt it best for her to pass in the arms of the people who loved her on this earth....not with me or another stranger a day or days later.

I pray that you will find peace with this. You gave your girl the final gift of love and let her go peacefully.

Carmen, you cry and weep over Rosie. I did when my Teddy Peanut was taken away. Grief is so hard to go through. This life is very tough. You loved that little sweet dog and it is so right to grieve. I wish I could help you get through this but in time you will come to acceptance and not feel so sad. I always seek the comfort of the Lord. He will send you peace in your heart amidst this storm of life. Rosie was a special little dog and we do not know why she had to leave your arms but take comfort in knowing you were the best for her and she is not suffering. Beautiful Rosie, you left so much love. May Carmen feel the power of that love and be at peace.

It's been almost three months and here I am, on a perfectly normal Sunday, writing here again because a simple memory broke me down and the pain feels just as fresh. Rosie, it's no easier today. We miss you every single day...not a single day has gone by that we haven't thought of our little angel. I see you in the flowers, in the clouds, in the sunshine, in in the rain, in your sister. When I lay in bed I seek my tiny ball of warmth and you're not there. I remember your smallness, your quietness, and it makes me cry because a very tiny part of my heart is just...missing, and even Luma can't fix that. After all, she's Luma. She's not Rosie. Too big, too loud, too fast, to be the tiny angel I'm missing. But she knows me so well...she knows when mommy is thinking of sissy, bc she all of a sudden won't leave my side and she stares at me while I cry and she licks the tears. She's trying to fix it and I haven't been letting her. I push her away sometimes but truthfully I am so glad I have her still because I'd be lost completely if not for her. And I am lucky because most people who have lost a pet never get to see them again...but you two were true sisters, so I see both of you in her beautiful face. I dream about you sometimes and I always wake up smiling. Your ID tag is still sitting on my desk. You are gone but at the same time you're everywhere. I wish I could hold you again for just a single second.

We got an opportunity handed to us a few weeks back to potentially have another pup come into our life, a pup who needed a second chance at their forever home, but I just couldn't bear it. I couldn't do it. I hope some day I can allow another addition to our family but right now it's too much to even consider. It hurts. We miss you.

Resting Now
 

I am so sorry for your loss and I understand your pain. When I lost my Ginger, I thought the pain and tears would never stop. I will be thinking of you and sending healing thoughts your way. Honestly, it never stops, it only gets a little fainter as time goes along. :(
