Saying Godbye to a Loved One For Sue & Bob

As it is with life and living, it's been some time since my last post. Today I learned  that my sister's little kitty, Shmidgin, left its little body. It was 13 years old and had been ill. The vet told her she could put him down or take him home and feed him food & water with a dropper. She chose the latter. 

Upon coming home, she fixed the first floor living room with a cozy place to stay. In the middle of the night, despite his weak condition, Shmidgin took the stairs himself so he could sleep in the bed with my sister and her husband. It seemed that maybe little kitty was going to get better. He was happy and content to be close to them. For two days he stayed, cuddling and being Cared for. On the evening of the second night, he closed his eyes to sleep with them and by morning he had moved on from his little body.

I close my eyes, I connect to my heart, I can feel the sorrow mixed with the grace and blessing of having their sweet little kitty, who they've had since a baby, be able to leave while being so close to them, and being where he loved to be. I can sense angels singing and little kitty jumping around with them in his spirit body. 

We are all going to die, when, is not known. Until our time, if we have the blessing of an animal in our life, I'm going to venture to say undoubtedly we would outlive them; if we aren't killed or struck down by some disease. But is it really being struck down, or just that it would be our time, if that were to happen? Either way I'm going to go with the idea we are healthy and not going to be killed, so we would outlive our animal friend; unless of course, if we owned a parrot, then we might go before. The point is, death is imminent. 

To be in the presence of a dying friend and to be able bring comfort, care and above all your  loving heart is a great gift to be had. Amidst the tears and pain there is an incredible deep stillness and rememberance of all the joy and beauty that was shared through the years. It tears open the heart to a greater love beyond this everyday existence. It can feel as though the world is in on the event and in turn delivers to you a greater fragrance from the flowers and trees. The rivers gurgle louder, the birds sing sweeter. Animals give you a look as if they understand and know what you're feeling and going through in your time of loss. 

The understanding that it's better to have your sweet friend out of discomfort, and to have moved on; doesn't take away the very real painful feeling from missing the loss of him. Yes, the  hurt will subside and go away with the understanding that it is better than him living in suffering. To all this I can only share love to you.

Love, love, love,  heals everything. The energy behind the stillness, the love inside the love. The deepness that helps us to know in an unspoken way that all is well this day of days and Schmidgin loves you both and was happy to be in your lives. He lived like a king. He is forever in your hearts and your forever in his. May this help to ease the loss of your little one. ❤️💞✨✨💞❤️ With love and grace you are in my prayers!
