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 originally posted the following link in my post about losing Magic. I think however that it should have it's own place. I do grief counseling and have found this one of the best resources available~

    I too am crying and I thank you for posting this.

    After loosing my heart a couple of weeks ago,,I have to save this and read it again when its easier to read. Right now I can't get past the beginning...you see I AM still seeing her suffering...seeing my big proud beautiful black and white Great Dane...down with no energy, with fright in her eyes, looking so sad and depressed. I don't know that I will ever loose that image...even though I saw her at peace at the very end.

    I miss her so very very much!

    I should have added the caveat re a recent loss. I am sorry for not doing so; also very sorry about your loss. Great Danes are such magnificant creatures.

    Thank you for posting this. Though I have to admit I didn't finish reading it, I am at work, the tears started flowing.

    I lost one of my best friends just a month ago, he wasn't canine he was my dream horse. I had him for 9 wonderful (but short) years. The memories will get me through my grief. This just started to hit home, so I decided I should read it at home.

    Thank you for posting this, I too could not finish reading it yesterday and tearing up now trying to reply.  I lost my sweet Shadow in Jan, just like Dyan, those last days are still too fresh in my mind.  He went downhill so fast and a few days toward the end I could almost see a glimmer of his former self.   He was so young, it is still very hard.   I have left his pictures on my screen saver.  They are from puppy til just before he got sick.   This helps to remind me of the happy fun days.   I dont want to forget him but look forward to when the happy thoughts out weigh the images at the end.
