I wrote this in the earliest hours of this morning, intending to share it later today:
"I cried so many tears last night, the deep, full-body sobs of a child. Before I go further, let me say: She's still alive. Gracie is alive. But this grieving process, its heart beats louder every day. Some days it's a friend, letting me down gently. Nights like last night, it's a monster, looming over her small, heaving frame. Her lips pull back in a grimace I know like no one else would. Her eyes focus and then dance away. For the first time I think maybe I could make the decision I never thought I could make. Seeing her suffer is a knife in the body I love most in this world. I feel ashamed to admit, but the desire to look away, to pretend none of this is happening, is almost as strong as the desire to never look anywhere else again. If I look away, will this go away? Will we be together again a decade ago, these dwindling days too far away to fathom? I settle for propping her up on a pillow, gently kissing her head, telling her it's okay it's okay it's okay. She pants us both to sleep."
And then my whole world crashed into a million pieces.
Rest in peace my beloved girl.
Gracie, December 18th, 2004 - July 7th, 2019.

I’m so so sorry for your humongous loss. I’ve always felt such a connection with you and Gracie, because of your similar relationship as I have with my dog and first love, Finnegan. I’ve shared her with you before, and pointed out their similar looks. And now I see they were born only two months apart. My heart aches for you, as I know she meant everything to you and was a part of you. I hope you take some comfort in knowing she lived a life full of happiness and love, because of you. And that’s all a little girl like her wants. She will be missed by so many. Rest In Peace, sweet girl.

We had to put our Rusty down four years ago and it was the hardest decision we’ve ever made. But my wife was reminded of something she read once about dogs and humans. “It’s not just about the life you give your dog...it’s also about the death”. That for us was what it was all about. It’s so hard and wasn’t easier, but remembering that did help. Letting them go is the most selfless thing we can do especially after all of the unconditional love they gave us for so many years. It’s been four years and it’s still painful to think about. But it does get better. Thinking of you! 💔

Sending so much love and light your way. ? I remember when I first followed you, so long ago, your carefully crafted, beautiful posts brought (and still bring) such deep meaning and goodness to me and to this world. If you can share that with me, a far away fan, I can only imagine the love that Gracie had from you everyday. I hope you find comfort in knowing the was no better mama for her than you. We're all here to support you through this, take your time and please take care. ❤️

Thank you for sharing her with us. My heart is with you. I only knew Gracie from here, but I know love, and I loved her, too, as so many did. Know we are all mourning with you, and I hope a light shines in some way, shape or fashion, like that rainbow, to let you know clearly that she is still here and no longer suffering, and she still loves you and wants you to be happy. Maybe that will give you the nudge of comfort you need to move through your life until you see Gracie again.

Hi Robin - a friend sent me your way, as she know how much I delve my own horror in the death(s) of my little one, in euthanizing my Chestnut. She knows I hang out in that darkness often. My lostness without him, the shattering & dulling of my world without him. If you want to connect in that horror, I’d love to have some company. I write letters to my deceased (and living) ones often on my page. Maybe they will resonate. Let’s chat, if ya ever want... That horror is so real.

Love to you... I feel your pain, mine is still raw from losing my own beautiful @harley_the_dane just over a year ago.... or is it more.... there it is.... I have finally stopped counting the painful months since his passing and even though nothing could be farther from your grief and pain right now, know that this deep ache will gently pass as you sense her peace...Drench your sorrow with her love and light, you were the best mum any dog could ever hope for. ?
