Rainbow Bridge

The Rainbow Bridge is the theme of a work of poetic prose written some time between 1980 and 1992, whose original creator is unknown. The theme is of an other-worldly place to which a pet goes upon its death, eventually to be reunited with its owner.

    I don't know about you all, but listening to music helps me deal with the loss of my beloved "pets" (more friends than pets)......one of my absolute favorites is "Fly" by Celine Dion. I especially like it because it is inspirational.
     
    The words are..
    Fly fly little wing
    Fly beyond imagining
    The softest cloud the whitest dove
    Upon the wind of heaven's love
    Past the planets and the stars
    Leave this lonely world of ours
    Escape the sorrow and the pain
    And fly again

    Fly fly precious one
    Your endless journey has begun
    Take your gentle happiness
    Far too beautiful for this
    Cross over to the other shore
    There is peace forevermore
    But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
    Until we meet

    Fly, fly do not fear
    Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
    Your heart is pure, your soul is free
    Be on your way, don't wait for me
    Above the universe you'll climb
    On beyond the hands of time
    The moon will rise, the sun will set
    But I won't forget

    Fly, fly little wing
    Fly where only angels sing
    Fly away, the time is right
    Go now, find the light

    Also, Can't Cry Hard Enough by the Williams Brothers is another great one but very sad...here are the lyrics, but they are sad.
     
    I'm gonna live my life
    Like every day's the last
    Without a simple good-bye
    It all goes by so fast

    And now that you're gone
    I can't cry hard enough
    No I can't cry hard enough
    For you to hear me now

    I'm gonna open my eyes
    And see for the first time
    I've let go of you like
    A child letting go of his kite

    There it goes up in the sky
    There it goes beyond the clouds
    For no reason why
    I can't cry hard enough
    No I can't cry hard enough
    For you to hear me now

    I'm gonna look back in vain
    And see you standing there
    When all that remains
    Is just an empty chair

    And now that you're gone
    I can't cry hard enough
    No I can't cry hard enough
    For you to hear me now

    There it goes, up in the sky
    There it goes, beyond the clouds
    For no reason why
    I can't cry hard enough
    No I can't cry hard enough
    For you to hear me now

    What are other grieving, loss, hope, etc. songs that help everyone deal with the loss of a furry friend?

    Here's one I've dedicated to those who are in rescue, foster, or shelters. But it can translate to our pets, as well.
