We Must Let Go

This week , I share with you my story about the hole that has been left in my heart.
You see my Father passed 12 yrs ago and he knew I had wanted a dog for years.My husband and I were in disagreement on that subject.
So one rainy day after my Dad passed I wandered out and went to look at pups. Overwhelmed with emotions , a big brown eyed girl pup looked at me and stole my heart.
I heard my Father say” Get the damn dog what’s he going to do, kick you out?”
You see my Father was a sailor and I knew those were his words.
Coming back, the second time to visit with her she laid her head on my shoulder and that was all it took.
Within a week , she had my husband wrapped!
Having empathy for those whom had lost pets was not at all how I understood it.
Being out of town our fur baby of 12 yrs became ill and and not able to walk.
I caught a flight home and the vet had kept her comfortable until I arrived.Joining my husband , she fell asleep feeling our loving arms around her and seeing our faces.
I now can truly and deeply empathize with all that have lost pets.
You can not truly understood until you experience it, the pain opens your heart fully to share true empathy.
Emotions have been filled with many tears this week.Missing the sound of her paws across the floors, our daily rituals and forgetting she has passed.
I truly am sorry to any friends that have lost pets.
I’m thankful for the wonderful years of joy and unconditional love that Gracie taught me.
Eckhart Tolle says” With every loss is a seed of Grace.
Gracie’s eternal spirit will forever surround us.
STILLNESS has brought acceptance to the “ Iss-ness” of life.
STILLNESS opens up the Spiritual realm to See what we can’t See
STILLNESS POINTS US TO SHINE LIGHT ON OUR DARKNESS.
Hoping my story encourages others on their own unique journey of grief.
