Having not had children til my late 30's but being quite maternal, my animals were my family. <br />When a very special dog of mine died tragically, a dog who helped me through the grief of a miscarriage in my 20's, I grieved deeply. It seemed that my grief for the miscarriage came out with the grief for my dog. But in the end, the loss of my dog felt nothing like what it was to live through Jack's stillbirth.<br />I'll share something here, since you talk about your hope that when Audrey passes, she'll watch over Grace...when I recently had a private session with the medium who contacted Jack (maybe you read about the public reading on my now never written in blog), he said that Jack was saying "Mum, I got the dog.." and then went on to describe my special dog. When Jack died, and I spent that time holding him, I comforted myself by 'asking' that dog to watch over him, and to be his dog now, and have often visualised them playing together. I like to think it's true, they do watch over them..Viahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422792223337020919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810710399716902196.post-41832014259333761472013-06-25T15:38:37.535-07:002013-06-25T15:38:37.535-07:00I had a dog like your Audrey once.

I remember the gut-wernching pain when she died but it lasted a day. The heart wrenching pain when Eva died lasted a year. I think that is the difference. The pain of losing a pet fades much faster. And I don't feel like my family is or was incomplete without my dog but I feel like my family will always be incomplete without Eva.
