cjwood:
i am having so much trouble these days, and i come to my forum family for prayer and comfort.

two nights ago, between 11-12pm, my oldest dog "ellie" had a stroke.  she came out of the daze of death long enough for me to have my daughter come over and tell her goodbye.  our beautiful, loving dog of 13 yrs took her last breath at midnite, in my arms.  it was so very hard to watch her go through the stages of death, but i am grateful she no longer suffers in her old body.  she was cremated and her ashes were spread over the country side she loved.  i know this is all about a dog, but, this dog was with me through my cancer and through so much heartache in my life.  she took it all on for me.  she stayed beside me always.  

it is so, so hard letting go.  letting go of my dear ellie.  letting go of my marriage and my husband.  oh God it hurts so much.  my eyes have been swollen from the crying that just seemed to come and wash over me.  i have no idea what my Father has in store for my life now, but i do know He is with me.  He feels my pain.

so dear friends, i come before you broken.  i had accepted the fact that my marriage is over, and was beginning in baby steps to move forward, then my ellie died in my arms and i fell down again in heartache and tears.

it has been so hard to ask for help.  i don't know why.  perhaps it is just some thread of pride.  i need your help through prayer.

your sister in Christ,
claudia

Nan:
Blessings Claudia. Dogs do indeed become part of the family.

Kat:

Hi Claudia,

I have weeped over losing so many pet friends, losing a dear one like that is especially hard. I pray that the Lord will comfort you, as only He can, through these hardships.

love to you,
Kat

Dennis Vogel:

Time.. It just takes time Claudia.

It get's better Claudia but I know that is little comfort when your walking through it.  When I dispatched my elderly Shepherd it was one of the darkest two weeks in my life.  This may not be totally scripturally correct but it does speak to the heart.


IF IT SHOULD BE

If it should be that I grow weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,

Then you must do what must be done
For this last battle cannot be won.

You will be sad I understand,
Don't let grief then stay your hand.

For this day more than all the rest,
Your love for me must stand the test.

We've had so many happy years,
What is to come can hold no fears,

You'd not want me to suffer so,
The time has come to let me go.

Take me where my need they'll tend,
And please stay with me until the end.

Hold me firm and speak to me.
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time that you will see,
The kindness that you did for me.

Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.

Please do not grieve it must be you,
Who has this painful thing to do,

We've been so close, we two, these years
Don't let your heart hold back its tears.

For I am now in a better place,
And will be waiting to see your happy face.

So when you cross that final bridge,
Look for me...

I'll be standing next to the fridge.
