My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

I am so sorry your sweet Angel Marla had to leave so soon. Godspeed beautiful girl.

I think that Marla looks very happy in all of her pictures. I just wanted to share this...when Angel Queenie came to us...her previous Mommy died. She bonded with us but there was never a doubt in my mind she was Fred's baby girl. I was not her Mommy and it took her a long time to accept me as a Mommy but I knew she loved me. I think because she did not have a previous Daddy...she felt secure with Fred. Do not think for one minute that Marla was unhappy...they just sometimes dream of their past and they don't understand what has happened. I know that Angel Marla is with her previous Mommy yet she watches over and waits for you and her Daddy to join her...when you meet again. My sympathy and prayers. :grouphug:f_pink

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful Marla. You've had more than your share of sorrow these last few months . . . time to take it easy now and remember those two wonderful creatures who were lucky enough to share their final days with you. :bighug:f_pink

I'm glad you were able to give her a second loving home. I know she loves you just as much, even though she couldn't stay long, those pictures say it all. Hoping you'll have some peace and many fond memories of her. You have been through so much lately......

Aww Aims.

 

Marla loved being with you, there is no doubt in that. Did she carry a little spark of sadness from her loss, probably, just like you do too :grouphug but you have nothing to be sorry for at all, it takes a brave soul to adopt the seniors knowing that you will likely have just long enough to love them. It is a wonderful gift to them and the cost of it is a little piece of your heart ever time.

 

You have had a horrible year, all Eeyore jokes aside you have had a heavy weight to bear this past while and my wish for you is some carefree happy days ahead :grouphug

 

See you later Marly girl :grouphug

Look at the photos if you think Marla was unhappy. She was a lovely, loving girl who clearly was happy with you and your family for the time you were bless to have with her. I'm deeply sorry for your loss.

Thank you for the kind words, everyone. It does help. :)

 

Here are a few more photos that make me smile.

Marla at Jeff & Trudy's, wondering how soon she'd be allowed to leave this untamed wilderness so she could order room service. :lol

You know, looking at Marla's pictures, I'm wondering if you imagined her to be sad sometimes because of her grey eyebrows. She maybe did miss her previous owner, but she looks happy and relaxed with you, and had people who loved her dearly, and dog companions as well! She had stuffies and good food and the Big Water Dish to play with and drink from ..

 

Sometimes the grey eyebrows make them seem as if their expression is anxious when it isn't. As Renie has developed the arching grey over her lovely dark eyes, DH often says to me, she looks unhappy, what's wrong with her - but all I see is a pretty dog staring adoringly at us the way she always has done. It's just her grey bits that make her look as if she's a little sad.

 

Marla had ten months with you, plenty of time for her to settle in and love you right back, and I know she did. :bighug

 

She may well be meeting up with her previous owner on the other side of the rainbow bridge, but I'm betting that when you cross that bridge yourself, she'll be there to meet you too.

I am soo very sorry. I had jordan for just 10 months too. I know you can love them longer but you can't love them more.... 10 months can be enough to change your whole life and heart. I hope my Jordan guides her way... Run free little one!!!

That was beautifully said and so true.

 

You can love them longer, but certainly not more.

 

God Speed Marla.

 

I am so sorry for your loss.
