Diva, my Soul mate in a fur coat...LONG

[my2rotties]

Thank you for all the words of kindness. I am completely lost right now, and still am not eating or sleeping. I don't know what to do with myself. I start projects and just cannot focus at all.

I forgot to mention one thing about the day Diva left. Our vey left our home, and Frank turned the stereo on. I was standing there looking at my baby. I was so beside myself, I was calm. I stood there and tried to take it all in. My girl, my pride and joy, the picture of energy, spirit and joyful life, laid there never to move again. My knees buckled and I was hugging her with tears pouring. The song "American Pie" came on. It was so approprate for Diva and I. She was my music; she sang through her life, making the house joyful and all that surrounded her sing. I hate this house now, and even when I take Sabre out, the world seems so cold, and barren now. Her energy was so strong, so noticeable, so missed. On Februsary 12, 2007 the music died, and I did right along with her.

Diana - The thing about life is you must live on as hard as that might be right now. God is not done with you yet - I have no doubts that He will send another special fur kid your way in the future. As hard as it is right now, don't shut down, you know you have to pull it together for your other fur kids that God has entrusted you to take care of.
Don't close you heart because right around the corner there will be Diva again!
I'm here if you need me...

WOW

What a tribute to your best friend and soul mate. Diva gave you a sign with the purple tulips that she is alright. In time she will send you another sign that it's ok the love another furkid and carry on.

RIP Sweet Diva

Please hang in there..I know it's easy to say...hard to do...
There were so many similarities to your story..and your emotions to my own..After I lost Wolfgang a little over a year ago..I really went off the deep end...wouldn't talk..eat...hell, barely walk...COULDN'T sleep..would not show or allow myself to love...I know Wolfgang sent me my sweet Shadow mere weeks after he left..Just showed up at hubby's worksite...but it was a while before I would "love" her..shamefully....anything really...Shadow...not the cats..not hubby.(boy that went over well)There were times I really didn't know if I was going to make it through sanity intact!!!I don't really want to even say how long that lasted...a while..It wasn't until I allowed myself to love again that I began to heal...Your heart obviously has a great capacity for love...please don't close it like I did..
I know my heartdog's earthly body is gone....but he will always live in my heart...and I know he is still with me...He gave me signs..Just as your Diva is still with you and she will give you signs too.
Please be kind to yourself..Diva would have wanted it that way...And know it WILL get better..it just takes time.
My thoughts are with you...wishing you peace in your heart.

Diana,It has only been a few days. But you must remember that you do have other furkids that depend on you! Also they are missing Diva too. Take some time alone everyday, Sit in a sunny spot and remember the good times that you all shared. Time is a great healer and you must remember that there is love in every thing that you did for Diva. But also remember that you heart has enough love to spread around. Hold your head up and keep joy in your heart. Continuing to send the prayers to you and yours. S.S> April.

Hi Diana,

I'm so sorry for your loss of Diva. It seems like only yesterday you got her. The years just seem to have flown by. Your tribute is truely beautiful. The days ahead will be filled with sorrow and loneliness for you. You will be in my prayers. Dive is probably up there playing with Kevlar and Gypsy!!

It's just two days shy of one month without my Mojave and today especially, is a very hard day.

I know exactly what you are going through now, wandering this earth without that special friend....and my heart reaches out to you.

They never really leave us, though our hearts will never fully heal.
