I lost the Love of my life
 

Today I lost the light of my life, the one thing that I loved beyond reason, wholeheartedly, to infinity and beyond. My bubbies lost his battle with lymphoma and took with him my heart and soul. No words can begin to describe the happiness, love, light and laughter he brought to my life. I choose to remember him as the loveable, bundle of fur and joy who always gave me kisses when I asked, loved food as much as me, and never failed to put a smile on my face even on the worst days. Today I understand what real heartbreak is. I pray that his soul rests in peace. Until we meet again at Rainbow Bridge, you will live on in my heart and not a day will go by that I don't remember you and smile. I thank God for giving me the honor of being your mommy since I was 16 years old. You made me a better human being. You were one in a billion. Your love was the once in a lifetime kind of love. I will miss you and love you forever and always. My deepest, truest love belongs to your gentle and pure soul.

KOBE was the first pet loss for me and he was my baby for 15 years. I think I came on here because I knew no one would judge my grief. For anyone who has gone through this, today I know the heartbreak you have all been through. My heart left my body and all I feel is the pain and the hole that is left behind. To anyone who has lost their dear babies I wish you all love and light until you meet them again at Rainbow Bridge xxxx

So sorry.

Heartfelt condolences to you :(

So very sorry for your loss. I know the pain you speak of, I lost the last of my pack 3 years ago, she was 17 yo. Not a day goes by that I do not think of her and still cry over her loss. (((hugs)))

So very sorry for your loss!

Sadly, every dog lover has been right where you are. And I don't just mean dog owner, I mean dog lover - the person who has the same type of special relationship with their dog that you had with your dear Bubbies. Losing one of the most important parts of life hurts and hurts for a long, long time and true grief is perfectly normal after that kind of loss. You never really get over those special relationships, you only gradually learn to live with the loss, noticing that slowly the pain turns to only good memories and the real hope that somehow we'll love like that again and one day see all our babies happy and well at the Rainbow Bridge. They live daily in our hearts and memories and true love never dies. Bubbies and Kobe will be forever loved. Hugs to you.

Thank you so much for your kind words and reminding me that true love never dies. It will take me a long time to heal but people like you who offer words of encouragement to those who need it the most really help people like me through the grieving process. I thank you for this. You are a real angel here on earth <3

Thank you :lovewings:

Thank you for you kind and compassionate words. It means so much :love:

Tishtash, I know so well what you are going through right now. We had to say goodbye to our Snoopy today 3 weeks ago. He was almost 18 and to us he was our child.
I still cry every day and can't believe he's not with us anymore.
Words can not explain how much it hurts but I wish you all the best and remembering all the fine things about Bubbies maybe will help you in time.
For know, a big hug to you.

Those we love , our yorkies too, don't go away,
They walk beside us everyday.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
So loved, so missed , so very dear.

I believe this and it gives me comfort knowing my precious dogs are with me. Yes their fur is gone but that loving sweet spirit is with me and you too

Thank you :lovewings:

That is the sweetest poem I have ever heard. I shall remember this on days when I feel hopeless. I thank you for offering me words of encouragement and strength. Much love to you :lovewings:

Thank you for your kind words of empathy. I choose to believe that all our babies are happy and healthy at rainbow Bridge and you will be reunited with your darling snoopy again. Until then, know that there are others out there that feel and endure the same pain you feel but cherish the fact that you had those 18 glorious years with your baby. He lived an amazing and full life with you. Big hugs and much love to you during this time :lovewings:
