It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Who are they to judge? After losing Rufus, some people have asked me if I will get 'another one'. They clearly don't understand - how could there ever be another Rufus? (Or another Rumpy?) The most difficult thing for me was having to make that final decision for both of them. Heartbreaking, yes but surely the most unselfish and kindest thing.

I also think this is a symptom of such low self-esteem that people who think/act this way have to feel that *all* humans are more important than *all* other animals, just to give their lives some sort of value.<br /><br />I have never bought into the idea that humans are "better" than other animals, and as such I would do just as much for a lost animal as I would a lost human child. That doesn't mean I treat humans any worse - it just means that I'll do anything I can for any animal, regardless of species.<br /><br />(((hugs))) You are not weird.

They obviously do not care to understand grief. <br /><br />You know you received unconditional love and gave it out to your beautiful cat.

Love knows no boundaries, whether it's for humankind or animals. We are all one creature on this spiritual plane. My best friends children are their animals. I see animals as people's children an extension of their family. <br /><br />Bless you. Your friend is amazing.

I ask them....<br /><br /> I try to let them know that their grief is valid and *allowed* because those creatures were part of their soul tribe and their species is entirely irrelevant. And when they realize they are in a safe place then they are able to mourn as they see fit.<br /><br />I have to shield myself from the grief because I have seen so much and experienced so much of it myself...but every once in a while there is someone whose deep, abiding bond results in such raw grief that it all comes flooding back and I experience every single one of those passings all over again.....<br /><br />Compassion burn-out is one of the number one reasons we leave our profession....and there's a very good reason for that....<br /><br />Sorry for the volumes...;) yours and Blossom's story has reminded me of so much....not the least of which, why I chose to be a part of the animal-healing profession...melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00336474101204142611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37037087.post-74318447154003785582009-07-19T17:10:49.758+08:002009-07-19T17:10:49.758+08:00I'm very saddened to hear of the loss of your ...I'm very saddened to hear of the loss of your beautiful cat.Sarah Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884012730205363096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37037087.post-63683034955663654002009-07-19T15:07:58.815+08:002009-07-19T15:07:58.815+08:00Gemel, what do they know??

Some people do not understand..I surround myself with people that have a capacity to love all living things and not place humanity on some elevated status of entitlement..which all other being fall under...these people also know that our well being and survival depend on how we treat other animals like ourselves...if someone thinks its crazy...well I say they are the ones in the dark Thier opinions are of no importance...and I only hope and pray that one day they too will understand...Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363607135332449650noreply@blogger.com
