Barb you are the most sweet and generous soul:love: I am so touched that you would do that for Aubrey and Will. Wow!~

Aub, you hang in there and just let the greif work itself out. It does take time, that's for sure. My thoughts are with you!

Barb you are an angel.. there are not a lot of people who would give up their happiness for that of someone else. i know your very generous offer will touch aubrey's heart and i'm sure she will have a difficult time accepting it. i hope that in time she does because while no dog can replace ella, another yorkie will bring joy to her life. God Bless You.

Barb, you are an angel! What a beautiful offer.

That is a super sweet thing for you to do. What a big heart you have

Barb, I think this is the most beautiful gesture I've ever seen. What a huge heart you have to do this. There's a special place in heaven for people like you. You help restore my faith in the human race.

Aubrey,

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you during this terrible loss. My heart breaks for you and your boyfriend. Little Ella will never be forgotten- you will keep her forever in your heart. Take care and please know we are all here for you!

You poor thing!!! I will be praying for you, your boyfriend and of course Ella.... I hope everything turns out for her.. please let us know... my hugs to you and your boyfriend!!!!

I'm so so sorry! XXOO

I know that when you tell us how sad you are, or that you feel guilty, etc, you are just telling us what you FEEL, not what you KNOW.

Like, obviously you KNEW it was an accident, and that these things happen, and that your boyfriend was just as sad as you....but you still couldn't help FEELING mad at him, or wishing you'd been more careful, or whatever.

And you KNOW that you are not alone in this kind of tragedy happening to you, but it still FEELS like a horror. Right?

So I know we all keep telling you not to feel guilty, because you don't HAVE to, etc...and I'm sure you understand that....but I also understand that it HELPS you just to talk through your feelings, even the ones that you know might not be the most rational . Is this right?

I'm just trying to understand how you feel. When we say, "don't feel guilty", or, "it was an accident", please don't feel like we are trying to tell you not to post about those things anymore. I think we understand that you are just working through your grief, and everything you are thinking and feeling is NORMAL. And it's HEALTHY that you're talking about it. I hope your boyfriend is able to talk to someone about it too....my heart really goes out to him, and how horrible he must feel.

I really like this. You will never forget Ella, and the brief time she was in your life, and the horribly sad way she left it. But the things you are going through now CAN end up being positive...making you a stronger person in the end.

There is a saying that grief stretches out your heart, and leaves you with a greater capacity for love and happiness in the future. I really believe that, and I hope you eventually find it to be true in your own life.

tears on my pillow ....
 

Aubrey, Wil, and Ella,

Thinking of you all. Want you to know that we have you all in our hearts and prayers.

My husband suggested we contribute $100 to your new baby when you are ready. Please accept this offer when you are ready. If Chuey was old enough, I'd want you to have one of his! But he's not quite there yet! Best wishes to you and remember your baby with all the love and life she gave you while she was here....she's watching you and sending you baby kisses!

We'll be in touch....

we all understand your pain ....
