Dear Jack,
When...when will the crying end? When will the grieving end? When will I look at my remaining pet and not just miss the one I used to have?
Believe me when I tell you this: It will just take a little time and you will one day find that all your loves have merged together. You will be surprised because you find yourself laughing or smiling over a memory and that's when you will know that your tears will soon subside. Violent tears turn sweet as you heal. You’ll see. The tears that once poured fiercely from your eyes will be filled with the heaviness of the love that you are allowing yourself to feel again. Those tears will flow heavy and slow out of the corners of your eyes. Where once you cried from your sadness and loss, you will cry because you are smiling again. You’ll still miss us, of course you will, but you will start to remember the good times and realize that we are not a loss. We have been a gift specifically chosen for you. We who have passed want you to be free to love again...and to be happy when you are reminded of us! You'll get there, you'll see, and it will be sweet and beautiful with a few sentimental tears now and again for all the loves you have had.
Love, Jack
