Guest guest Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 Hello Ruth, Perhaps it would ease your heart and loss to focus on the joy and good times with your precious furry friend. When I think of my animals who have passed over I replace any sense of loss with the joy and good times they have given me. It gives me strength. I think this will make them happy and help send them on their way to do other things as well. They want us to be happy. Evidenced by the 'tail wagging til the end.' Try to be happy, the essence is still with you and you have had the precious gift of their influence in your life...and vice versa.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 Dear Ruth, Thank you for your kind note. Geisha went out last night too. I thought I was prepared too. But no. :+) :+( Sounds like you are going through the same thing with the passing of Barkley. Interesting they would pass on the same day. I am writing a short paper on this and will mail it out soon. > I thought a month of constant up's and down's might ease our farewell. but losing Barkley last night has brought me to deepest despair. I totally understand. I talked and prepared him for his walk through the other door and found two tears rolling out of his eyes. The slight wag of his tail tried to give me comfort to the end. > I am sure he is well. The dogs are so happy to be able to not be inhibited by bodies. Keep an alter with his things or blanket and tell him he can come back and visit any time. He will return once he has completed his exiit. Yogi Bhajan says it takes 72 hours to go through the astral. .. > What mantras or meditations are there to help him on the other side or keep in contact with his little essence and what to still the pain in my heart? Chant akaaaaaaaaaaal 5 times for him. I am sure he is fine. It is you. He will be worried about you. Do SA TA NA MA meditation and talk to him. He is with you, you just need to feel it so he can talk to you. Listen carefully. > Sending you Love, Hope and Understanding To you too.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2002 Report Share Posted November 3, 2002 My thoughts and sympathies are with you. It's been said that people who don't like animals have a hole in their Soul. Yours appears to be more than intact.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 Heidi, thank you for your compassion and understanding. Yes, I have the fondest memories and they sustain me but I miss the touch, his presence when I sit down, when I walk down the hall and know he is right beside me, when I cook and he is there to sample. The many times I reach for him at night to make sure he is covered, His presence when I do my KY and his occasional attempts to sneak on my lap when he feels I 've meditated long enough. The treat he expects when I leave the house and the treat he deserves when I get back. His wagging tail, the circlels he spinns just to see me come in the door - and so much more. ...... Thank you for caring. Ruth - Hello Ruth, Perhaps it would ease your heart and loss to focus on the joy and good times with your precious furry friend.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 Dear Gurutattan Kaur, Thank you for your comfort and advise. - I am so sorry to hear that Geisha left as well. My deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your little girl. Yes, it's intersting they left the same time. Barkley was also a little over 4 years old when he came to us. He had been left on a rope while his owners went to work. One day his owner caught children, on their way to school, terrifying him with rocks, sticks and lots of shouting. They didn't have a fence - she was distraught and asked me to take him. At the sight of a newspaper, shoe or stick, he would scream and leap from whereever he was and cower. It nearly broke our hearts and took years before he got over it. This is my first day back at the computer - my eyes had been near swollen shut and were quite sensitive and painful yet the tears just woudln;t stop flowing. I got mad and asked myself who was I crying for, myself (selfpitty) or my litte boy (because he certainly is better off). that got me out of it. I love my dearest little friend and I know he is well. I told him that he would be healthy again, would be able to see and hear again, his stiff leg with the metal pin would also be alright. He would be with Charlie and other dogs. ( " I don't like other dogs "- it came back at me) I told him I would be honored to have him with me but would not be able to see him or even feel him, just like he wasn't able to see now - and to understand if I didn't pick him up or pet him. I would probably need a huge nudge for that. That's when two tears rolled down his eyes. I had remembered Akaaaaaaaal from a previous post and it seemed to come naturally and for helped for the moment. Yesterday, when I came home, he was there for a moment when I opened the door. But - I was too exited to "be in the moment" and lost him. I sensed him this morning when I did my KY and I sense him now on his pillow next to my feet. If only I could feel and touch him now. Sat Nam Ruth Dear Ruth, Thank you for your kind note. Geisha went out last night too. I thought I was prepared too.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 Dear Ruth, Thanks for your loving letter. Believe me, it gets better. They have a limited time here and we must respect their soul's desire to be free again. They want us to be free too. Enjoy your freedom and he will be with you all the time. I am starting to feel this. My internal freedom is opening even more of a space for Geisha's love to be present inside me. It's all Divine love, we just have to be available to experience it. Bow wow. or mewow if you are a cat person. Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Dharam, thank you for your kindness. I've never heard about a hole in one's soul, but I know there is something missing - an emptiness - not having an animal in one's life to love and nurture. One who has never experienced an animals unconditional love and devotion or has not tuned in to it has robbed himself of the greatest gift of friendship. Thank you Dharm Sat Nam Ruth My thoughts and sympathies are with you. It's been said that people who don't like animals have a hole in their Soul.
