loss is never easy
by: Raleigh Adams

I am so impressed with your eloquent message of loss, it is something only those of us who have felt it, truly understand. In an effort to reconcile this terrible emotion of grief and loss I started a FB group to understand and deal with grief and loss, it has been many years and many losses now, but there truly is no "answer" to grief, only that we all must endure it, if you love deeply, you will grieve deeply as well, the yin and yang of it all, with over 70 adorable rats who have now gone back to be with their Creator, it truly has not gotten any less of a catastrophe when we lose one....however for myself I now understand that they are in paradise with their Creator, and that we will truly be reunited, this is not a feeble gesture at making myself feel better, I have researched the Bible and know that they are my forever family, they are innocents and thus return to their Creator, their mission on earth is remarkable, but humans are without vision to see the purity of their gentle souls, so when you feel despondent after the loss of your children, know that they are in the arms of the one who made them in the first place, no greater love could they ever know, til we again are reunited with them....

Wow! No matter how big or tiny our beloved's are, it's a tremendous loss. They were our soul mates. I liked your touching segment when you said, the love we got to know and share with our pets makes the grief worth it; it's just very hard when we go through it. This gives me a better peace, knowing our precious pets (and future pets) are significant to us. I lost my beloved Spike - my 10 yr old yellow lab 3 wks ago. I cry everyday for him and miss him terribly ..and always will.

Thanks for sharing : )

Hi Deborah
Thanks for sharing. Rats do receive terrible PR and totally undeservedly. I guess they just aren't 'fashionable' but I know myself they make lovely pets.
It's so hard when you lose many pets over a such a short period of time, but as you say you know deep down that you wouldn't change a thing.

I hope the site has helped you.

Warmest wishes

Bunny
