There are so many words I could write now, and so few that seem truly adequate.
On Monday 7th October 2019 at around 9am we said goodbye to our beautiful Taika. She was a gorgeous little weirdo, and we loved her so very much. I’m tired of crying, and yet I don’t think I could ever cry enough. My heart aches and yet I am so happy to have had her in my life, and to have had more years with her than I thought we would. Quite simply, she is deeply missed and always will be.
Please bear with me. Right now my enthusiasm for playing with stamps and paper is at an all time low. Thankfully I do still have a lot of things to share with you that were created before this difficult week. Posts will resume tomorrow so I can share those cards and videos with you over the coming weeks.
Thank you to everyone for the love and condolences on social media in the past week. I may not have been able to reply individually, but please know that I appreciate all of you and the support. To everyone who has also experienced loss, of any kind, recently or in the past: much love, and my very best wishes.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending big hugs to you and your family.
Thank you so much, Nancy. xx
i’m familiar with that particular type of pain, so i can honestly say my heart hurts for you. only thing wrong with dogs is that they don’t live forever.
Completely true. Thank you Jennifer. xx
I am so sad to read this Elaine, its so awful to loose a beloved pet, and no words do any good, so I will just say she was so lucky to have a home where she was loved and wanted and she will always be a big part of your life. Time heals but sometimes not fast enough.Take care, sending hugs.xxxxx
Thank you so much, Janette. xx
I am so sorry for your loss and empathize with your grief. Our furry children occupy such a large place in our hearts and when they are gone there is such a big empty spot in our hearts and homes. I’ve been through it several times and it never gets easier. Even now 6 years later, I am crying as I type this just remembering. Grief doesn’t have a timeline so take all the time you need. And if anyone tells you “It was just a dog.” you have my permission to smack them.
Thank you so much Carole, it means a lot. I grew up with dogs, and still think of all of them often. Lots of love to you too – you’re absolutely right, grief has no timeline, and it often pops up when you least expect it. They are all absolutely worth the tears though.
I’m sorry for your loss Elaine. I lost my beloved Phebe on September 30 so I feel your grief.
Thank you so much, Nancy. Sending you lots of love – I’m so sorry you’re going through this too.
