Comment on Grief without belief: finding comfort without the Rainbow Bridge by EJ.

“Because the truth is that the time you had with your pet was nothing short of a miracle. The odds of you both existing at the same point in time in an infinite universe are infinitesimal. How lucky you both were!”

This is beautifully said, and I may have shed some tears reading it.

I lost what feels like a piece of my soul, my spirit, three days ago. I do not believe in a bridge, a heaven, a special place where my Boxer girl Lucy is waiting for me. She is dead. She was born, lived 11 years with my wife and I, and then she died.

Photos and videos bring sadness and joy, laughter and tears. I wish I could feel her body warmth against mine again, but realize logically that will never happen again.

But thinking of our lives together, at this point in time of the universe, and how unlikely that was to happen… that feels like a miracle. I am grateful to have shared my life with Lucy and will be until I die as well.
