Rainbow Bridge

[Catherine]

There is something special about being part of the passing. I have not yet made the journey, but I know there is a journey. I have sensed something leaving and when it goes the body is just a cast off shell. We are more than our bodies.
If I can, I sit and hold my animals as they pass. Often they wait for me to come home. As soon as I hold them, they let go and pass in peace.

I do know of a situation where they took the dog into the nursing home and he lay on the bed next to the woman and he was with her when she passed. I think her dog's presence brought her peace.

I guess they are together now, the husband, the wife and their beloved dog. He was a special dog. I still miss him and I am glad I got to know him, but I am happier to think of the three of them together.

I am sure with Misty you wanted to give her life. It is so hard to know when it is the end.
