Closure On The Loss Of Sheba

[SeanCharles]

Hello everyone! :)

I am writing this threat with happiness! In examining the loss of Sheba, I realized that despite the shock I experienced upon finding her on Saturday, I am in total acceptance of her passing. I am without resignation or any negative feelings towards her passing. I am in full acceptance that her time with me came to a close and that her time to leave had arrived.

I know too, that her passing was without pain as she likely passed in her sleep. I am happy for the time we shared and that she will not be forgotten.

I was pleasantly surprised that this grief was resolved as quickly as I have come to closure in this situation. I know that I have strength now, that I didn't have with overcoming the last grief. I also know that because of that previous grief, it gave me the tools to deal with this loss effectively.

I am sorry for your loss, and happy that you are accepting it with such respect and honor for her. To be loved and adored by a four-legged friend is truly a gift, and I'm sure you were a gift to her as well.

I recently had to take my dear little friend in, to be sent to his final rest. He was a brave little soul, who 'protected' our territory like a BIG dog. He was a chihuahua/miniature pincher mix, and was 14 years old. He thought he was big and brave, and he was! The timing was horrible, but there was no doubt that it was time to let him go, as I could not watch him suffer.

He was a brave trooper, who 'danced' circles when I came home right up until the last. I miss him so very much, and will 'rescue' a new friend before too long. He will ALWAYS be my special "Buddy"...The poem "Rainbow Bridge" helps...

Your love for Sheba will never go away...

This is profound.

I just wanted to suggest to take a picture of Sheba, put it in a small picture frame and light a candle beside it. This is helpful whenever you wish to honor the memory of your time together and can bring comfort and happiness should you ever feel sad about her passing.

I'm glad that you are not struggling with things my friend...I wish you the best,

I once had a puppy named sheba as well. Such a beautiful name. She kept running away though and one day she ran away and we could never find her again. Now, looking back on it, maybe she could tell things about my family that I was not yet aware of? I don't know?

I'm glad you've found closure though. Grieving a four legged family member can be as hard as any human loss I'm sure. I've certainly felt pangs of grief years later after my first cat died. It was a total surprise to me actually.
