RIP Zeus - We will miss you!

GROVEBEAUTY · 07-06-2011, 02:21 PM

My beloved 11 year old male passed away on Saturday from congestive heart failure. This is the first time I have been able to sit down and really type or even express how I feel since it happened. Everyone tells me "I shouldn't be this upset, he had a really good, long life!"

It doesn't make me any less heartbroken. I really don't know what to say to "those" people. I know they mean well, but I feel like they are trying to minimize what I feel is a tragedy in my life. I have had a lot of loss in the last two years and I guess it's starting to pile up a bit.

Both parents, my 22 year old daughter and two dogs to coyotes and two dogs to health related problems associated with old age.

God, I hope this is all for now, I don't think I can take much more!

Oh my goodness! So much loss in your life, I am so very sorry.

Oh hon! I'm so very sorry to hear about Zeus! Big hugs to you!

I'm so sorry. You've suffered some major losses.

Thank you.

WOW, I'm so so sorry for all your loss. Just know that the Lord never gives us more than we can handle so he must know you are a VERY strong person!

Yes, I use that saying quite often, but I'm begining to think the Lord is pushing it a little.

Sorry for your loss. I know how you feel I lost 12 year old Kita on the 4th of july to a twisted stomach. I've been told time heals all wounds for our sake I hope thats true. Feeling your pain with you. Hang in there. I hope Kita and Zeus are running over the Rainbow Bridge together. If you haven't seen the poem Rainbow Bridge google it and read it. It might ease your pain.
