Precious....I'm glad you're back with your Mom! I saw some really cool necklaces with lockets and also pendants that will hold a bit of ashes or a lock of hair. Some of these were very pretty...
I am glad that you are back with your mom Preshy. That was one thing mom always regretted about having to bury her first dog Sandy in Clermont because she knew she would have to leave her there one day. When I passed, mommy didn't have the funds to have me cremated so they took me up to Grandma and Grandpa's and buried me there just hoping that the property stays in the family and now they have planted a rose garden around where my body lays. I think now that you are home where you belong, your mom will be able to start to heal some. I know my mom could not even begin until she had me buried someplace where she knew I was safe and she could come visit with me once in a while. The box sound beautiful. Nothing less than you deserve Preshy. For you and mom
I saw a vial type of necklace that a local pet memorial business sells, but I'm not sure if I could transfer some of the ashes. It seems kind of strange, but I understand why people do it. I bet the company would do it for me, but I don't know if I want to separate her ashes like that.
The little container she's in now is small enough for me to carry in my purse. She went to work and lunch with me today and nobody knew. I probably shouldn't feel so attached to her ashes but it's hard not to. It's sort of the same reason why I sleep with her favorite squeaky toy. I need something to hold on to.
Precious, tell your Mommy not to feel bad...whatever it takes to help ease the pain away! My Mama slept with my favority bunny for weeks after I came to the Bridge. She even tried to smell me on my sweaters until my scent finally went away...
Today is the first day my mom is feeling the grief of losing me. She knew the time would come to say goodbye, but she never imagined the pain and loss would feel this way. She cries hard, then it subsides, then she'll cry again. She has lit a candle for me, and so many of her friends have lit a candle for me, too. That touches her deeply. She has decided to lite a candle each day for me, to help her feel my presence. She is trying hard to find reasons not to cry, reasons explaining why this had to happen, and she feels guilty. She feels guilty for trying to escape the pain, the tears, the heartache. That makes her cry, too. I just pray that her pain will ease up with each day, because I loved her more than life itself, I had a very happy life with her, and I will be with her forever.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Go ahead and cry those tears! They are cleansing tears and eventually they'll wash away some of the pain. Unfortuantely, because of the amount of love you have for Rowdi, you'll never wash it all away but you will learn to live with it. Rowdi is gonna have a great time here with us and I'm sure you'll find some comfort here as well. If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask! xoxoxo
Putter and mom, Tricia
