Prayer for my family's pet

[SigPi_Horn]

My family's pet cat Sam passed away today in my mother's arms.

He was my mom's main companion as both my sister and I live in California and Austin respectably. I know it sounds trivial, but my mom is taking this very hard as she feels responsible for his death.

I just pray that she has the strength to work through this as she was very emotionally attached to Sam.

Prayers for your mom. It's not trivial, pets are family and it's hard to lose one, I have lost a few and it's painful.

Prayers for your ma, bro. And no its not trivial.

Pets are like one of the family. We lost our cocker spaniel, Deuce, 4.5 years ago and it still hurts...loved that dog. Prayers for your mom.

SigPi,

I hope your mama is OK after losing her cat. Our pets are members of our family and losing one is traumatic. I am keeping your family in my prayers.

The Rainbow Bridge

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; those who were hurt or maimed 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 to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him 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. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I don't think it's trivial either. God created the animals and he knew we'd be taking some of them as pets and forming strong emotional bonds with them.

I agree ... far from trivial.

Prayers for your Mom Sig ... losing a pet can be very rough.
