Dear Susan. My heart breaks for you. Breaks because so many of us here know the deep saddness and emptiness you are feeling with the passing our your beloved baby Pearl. Pearl was a beloved, adored, loving member of your family. Your grief is real, your loss is real, not to be minimized or dismissed. After years, I still grieve, and sometimes cry over the loss of my Rainbow furkids. You are not alone. Time helps, but it a long, sometimes lonely road to travel. But grieving is that time which helps you to cope with your very real sense of loss. You should never, ever feel guilty for your very real feelings; your pain. I know that Pearl is at the Rainbow Bridge, looking down upon you with love, and waiting for that day when you will be together again. We are all here for you. We all know the very real pain you feel. Come to us when you need to. Everyone here is on your side and wraps you in the warmth and comfort our love and the healing strength of our prayers.
