@Perkup

I'm so sorry for your loss

Last Night

I stood by your bed last night; I came to have a peek.

I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you wiped away a tear,

"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour your coffee.

You were thinking of the many times your hand reached down to me.

I was with you at the shop today; your arms were getting sore,

I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.

I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you toward the house, you fumbled for your key.

I gently put my paw on you; I smiled and said, "It's me."

You looked so very, very tired and sank into a chair.

I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there.

It's possible for me to be so near you everyday,

to tell you with such certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew....

in the stillness of the evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over, I smile and watch you yawning

and say, "Goodnight, God Bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,

I'll rush across to meet you and we'll stand side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there's so much for you to see.

Be patient, live your journey out....then come home to be with me

I MISS MY DOG

I miss my little faithful friend

who closed his/her eyes last night

as I wiped away my flowing tears

and held him/her really tight.

She/he was my therapist - my confidant

whom I spoke to everyday

And I knew I could rely on him/her

in every little way.

He/she always listened without judging

and never repeated what I said

and all he/she asked for in return

was love, some food and a bed.

Today there is no wagging tail

No whimper or a bark

Today the are no comforting hugs

or long walks in the park.

My heart is filled with sadness

remembering those days

He/she sat there looking up at me

With an adoring, loving gaze

Of all the loving memories

the one that can't be measured,

is how much he/she was loved my me

and how much he/she was treasured.

And I made sure they knew it......

@Perkup  I am so sorry.  There are no words except I've been there.  

If you can get out of the house and distract yourself, do it.  And I am not ashamed to say I slept with a big stuffed animal for a long time just to have something furry right there on my pillow just where she used to be.  Whatever works for you short term, do it.  I'll be thinking of you.

I'm so sorry. I had to let my Aussie girl go yesterday, too. Its more like losing a kid than a n animal or a grown person. They are so dependent upon us that its like having a child that doesn't grow up. No offense to those who have lost a child, but I don't have kids so my fur kids are like my children.

Here is hoping that our hearts heal gently. It is devastating.

@Perkup  So sorry for your loss.  I can feel your pain as I've experienced it myself.  I pray that time will help you to remember the wonderful times you had with your sweet Furbaby.  Hugs.
