Have you ever had something that you loved dearly, pass away in your arms? - Help.com

When I read this question I immediately thought of Poppy. Poppy was an adorable peace loving cat who I still miss along with Mr Parsley, Moggie Poos and Scodie.

Be happy that you had such a lovely animal to share part of your life with.

Thank you Tricky! Well, my refuge, is knowing that she is not suffering anymore. Also, had her for 11 years and so many good memories. Dr. Mac think she was probably 13 years old or more. She had a great life. Spunky was treated like the Queen she was…thank you again.

yup at least she is free of pain now ^_^
what is done is done, all you can do in life is to move forward ^_^

At least she died with you around her - and in the presense of those that loved her :)

I am so sorry, Cotton. Your Spunky was a very lucky dog. I know you will miss her.

Hello friend,

I’ve never had anything die in my arms, and I’ve experienced very little death in my own life. But I HAVE had many close friends and family members suffer loses as painful as yours must be. They only thing I was ever able to give those close to me, in tems of a helpful perspective, was this:

If you look at the life of your beloved animal, and you think of what your life would have been without them, how many different scenarios would play out? How often were they the only one who would listen to you, or be there for you? How different would you, and they, have been had you not been in each others’ lives?

Life is this huge ocean of “stuff” that moves around endlessly. We are all just rocks in the water; we come into it, and make a splash, and then we are gone. But if you look at the surface, you’ll see that everything leaves ripples. They bounce off of everything they touch, affecting the water to greater or lesser degrees, and changing the pattern in ways that could never have been without their impact.

The ripples of your beloved pet’s life will last long after you forget the smell of her coat or the sound of her bark. In one way or another, she will always be with you, and to some extent, the lives of the people with whom you both interacted. That is the definition of true immortality - that is living forever. Your pet is not gone, just changing your life in different ways.

I hope this helps.

Marigold was my first puppy. My aunt gave her to me as a gift for my 13th bday. Not long after that, she died before my eyes. She was hit by a virus.

We buried her on an empty lot next to my aunt’s dogs that also passed away. I never visited her grave for the next 6 months or so. It was too hard to bear.

When i came back at last to visit her, there were Marigolds everywhere the spot where she was.

When i see Marigolds, i remember not the pain but the happy memories she gave me.

This is bringing tears to my eyes now.

I’m sure Spunky is with Marigold. Somewhere.

Im so sorry for your loss.I had a similar experience back in june.My dog,peanut,who i had for 15 years,died in my arms.

Thats so sad, Im so sorry for you :( She was beautiful! She seems like such a loving dog in her picture…Just know she isnt in pain anymore and is running around chaseing birds in doggie heaven, where jerky grows in fields and there are waterfalls of fish that taste like stake and where the only stop playing to sleep on their kind size beds.

XD

My dog died in my brothers arms. I remember that day… It was like a family member dying :( We miss her… Im so sorry your dog died.
