I am finally alone in my house, no room mate (love her but need time away), no kids (love them forever), no friends (love them too). I get to do all the raging, grieving and snacking that I normally don't do in front of ANYONE. I am expected to be altogether all the time now for everyone, I just lost my sister and now my beautiful girl.
I have a hank of fur from Tam that she lost sometime ago and have a habit of picking them up and throwing them away...didn't this time just snugged it away. I am so glad that I did, I sobbed when I found it and it is so comforting to have something that says Tam. It might seem silly but I needed this to ground me to the fact that my lovely cat isn't coming home. She isn't at the vets or a friends or my sister's house...she is gone. I miss her so much.
RAINBOW BRIDGE
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them; who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
THEN YOU CROSS RAINBOW BRIDGE TOGETHER...
