Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that
pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our
special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food,
water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to
health and vigor, and those who were hurt or disabled are made whole and strong
again - just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each
miss someone very special, someone who they left behind.
They all run and play together, but a day comes when one
suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Its bright eyes are intent and
its eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, it breaks from the group, flying
over the green grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when
you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous
reunion, never to be parted again. Their happy kisses rain upon your face,
your hands again caress their beloved head, and you look once more into
those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from
your heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

There is no real way you can prepare yourself for
the loss of a pet. Losing an animal friend is an emotional experience and
you should never be embarrassed or ashamed to cry. If you would like to share stories about your pet and your feelings of grief, we would be happy to listen and help in any way that we can. Just email us at: miller_roth @ yahoo.com
