Hi Kerri,
Thank you for checking in on me and your kind words. I am doing okay, good days and bad days. I have had alot of pets as a child and each one that died I was very upset but I got over it BUT it is so different now. I guess it has to do with my age also, 30 years old, I understand the meaning of love and devotion more than when I was a child, obviously..but Rider was so perfect. He was my bestfriend and so sweet. I know in time it will get easier..I just wish it would hurry up so I can remember him when he was happy and healthy. While I am at work it is the worst..think it would be the opposite right...not exactly really busy here so I have too much time to think. In the evening it is better because I have Sadie, my kitty to keep me occopuied and my boyfriends Golden SAndy. I would Love to get another golden but I am terrified of the same thing happening all over so I doubt it. Thank you again for being so sweet. Take Care.
Your Friend,
Robyn

Hi Robyn

How are you doing? I have been reading your messages and candles you have lit for Rider. I know you miss him very much. People grieve differently however just wanted you to know that I had the same experiences in the early stages of the grieving process. After a month was up I would think OK I feel better today and then the next day would feel like week 1 again. It is normal to feel like you are moving on to the next stage of grieving and then you go back. It will be 6 months for me next week; I still shed tears though not as often as I did in the beginning and I can now smile more at the memories and talk about Goobie to friends without tears (sometimes). We will never forget our precious fur babies they will also have a place in our heart.
