I Am Looking At All The Greys Name's That ..........

[fourofem]

This month is truly a sad one....way too much sadness for me handle and it's only the 15th. Everyone here was so kind when I lost Lewis, Kevin and Sparkle...somehow reading the responses made me feel better so I try to respond in turn. Everyone handles their loss differently, but an understanding message means someone else cares and that is special.

It's been an incredibly rough month.

 

It's hard enough to cry over our own babies when they leave, but when we get attached to all the other greys here on GT, it becomes unbearable.

Sometimes I just stay away from GT for a few days to get a break. Only to log back on and see another handful in Remembrance.

I've come to the conclusion that the hounds of GreyTalk belong to all of us and we are each just individual caretakers (servants in many cases....). October is sucking for so many of our extended families.

 

If there really is a Rainbow Bridge, I have a sneaking suspicion that there's one heck of a beach party going on up there. At least I prefer to think so.

 

I agree. My heart breaks a little every time I see a new name added. I love each and every one of these pups, for different reasons, at different times, but their eyes, and their faces, and their stories have reached out and made their way into my heart. Losing them hurts. Every time I cuddle my girl I tell her that she is the most loved dog in the whole entire world. And she is, as far as I am concerned. What I know is that each and every person on here feels that way about their pups -- which means that the pain felt when one is lost is felt by all because we all know that pain far too well. I hate that pain, but knowing that the price for ridding myself of it would mean not having my girl, or any of your pups, in my life is not a price I am willing to pay. At random moments of each day I find myself sending up a little prayer/hello to a different pup.

I try to post in each of the new bridge kid's threads but sometimes it's too overwhelming and I can only get thru a few. It has been a tough summer, now fall... I also have printed out the Remembrance threads for my kids and put them in their files. When I lost Iberia years ago, I was beside myself and it really took a very long time to get over. I would pull out the thread and read thru the replies, and go thru his sympathy cards and just cry and cry. I wondered if that was only making it worse; but I don't think it was that. We had a grief specialist come and teach a seminar when I was in my Veterinary assistant program last year and she did so much for me in such a short time; validated my feelings and helped me to understand why it took so long for me to feel "right" again after losing him. And then with Frank, in August, just knowing how much he touched the lives of everyone here; and being able to share him with you over all these years; it definitely made a difference. GT is a Godsend to me; to share triumphs, tragedies, fun times, and final hours. Just to be among so many people who "get" what these hounds mean to us; it is priceless.
