Mike's Welcoming Committee

Oh god, Anne.  I know there's no perfect thing to say right now.  Just know that my heart is breaking for you.  Mike is out of his pain while yours is just beginning.  I'd do anything to take away your struggles & make Mike whole again for you.  I can't.  You feel alone but you're still surrounded by your friends, furry friends & those who care deeply for you.  I just know that our beloved pets are sitting with him & helping him get used to the Bridge.  ((warmest hugs))

Oh gosh  My heart just breaks for you Anne.  It took me quite awhile to be able to post because of my own tears.

You are not alone.  You will never be alone, please know that.  There are too many people who love you who will help you along this new path.

Do not, for one second, hesitate to call on me if there is anything I can do....even if you just need a shoulder to cry on.

Hugs, honey.  I'm here if you need me.

And, God speed, Mike.

I looked out the window, and what came flying by (six floors up, mind you) but a small hawk - unmistakably a hawk and, yet, NOT a red tail.  Who says there are no miracles? 

No intelligent person ever says there are no miracles.  You and Mike have been in my thots all week -- as someone else said his pain is passed and yours is just beginning. 

My dear friend ... what a welcome he got.  There are some reunions that are just more special than others -- but they have eternity so there is no urgency ... just love and wagging tails, snuggles and communion.  Oh that communion -- the sweet understanding of ALL!!  Some days it's just what keeps me going. 

((Hugs))

Anne - I am so sorry.  Good thoughts to you, knowing that Mike was welcomed!!!  {{{{HUGS}}}}

I'm sorry for you to hear that Mike has passed on. From personal experience I know that we survive the failure of our bodies. I know you know that, too, not even as a matter of faith but as a certainty and, imo, doesn't even require faith. I don't need faith to know that an apple falls from the tree and hits the ground. And a person survives after they have passed on. His physical pain and duress is gone and he can see a lot of things now that were, at best, hazy before. And he's going to be with you and give you comfort.

I know what the lonliness feels like of losing a spouse or SO. Been there, done that, it was hell. You mourn the loss of not just him but what your future would become. And I have often told others that you have a backbone made of high tensile steel. We're still here for you.

Mike was a blessing to you and you are a blessing to us. I never met him and you, like I, do not reveal a lot about our SO's but he is special, indeed, and continues to be so.

Oh Anne - I'm so sorry (((((hugs)))).

I know there is nothing I can say to make anything easier, but you'll be in my thoughts.

I'm so very sorry and I will light a candle and be thinking of you and Mike tonight. Hugs to you at this difficult time.

Oh Anne! I'm thinking of you and Mike tonight. I;m so sorry. (((hugs)))

I am so, so sorry Spiritdogs.

I am so sorry for your loss.

 Anne, I am so very sorry to hear this.  Even when you know it's coming, you are still not prepared for the reality of it.  You and your families will be in my prayers as you travel this difficult journey.  Hugs to you...

 Anne, I'm so sorry about Mike, and I'm sending you lots of healing vibes and keeping you in my prayers.  I think that the presence of the hawk was an amazing sign, I totally believe in that sort of thing.  Even though losing loved ones is always hard, I find it reassuring to know that they're still out there, sending signs like the hawk that Mike sent for you.

I'm so, so sorry Anne.  There just aren't any words for what I know you're going through.
