MY NAME IS BYRON. MY WIFE BRENDA DIED IN ICU TRURO HOSPITAL JANUARY 27, 2026. SHE WAS VERY SICK AND IN PAIN. WE WERE TOGETHER FOR 30 YEARS AND MARRIED 25 ON  JUNE 16TH, 2026. BUT MY HONEY DIDN'T MAKE IT. NOW I'M LEFT ALONE IN AN APARTMENT WE LIVED IN FOR 19 YEARS. THIS WAS OUR HOME.NOW IT'S JUST AN EMPTY SPACE. LIKE THE FEELING I HAVE INSIDE MY MIND AND BODY. I AM MOVING JUNE 30TH TO A BOTTOM FLOOR APARTMENT IN THE SAME BUILDING. MY KNEES ARE FULL OF ARTHRITIS AND CLIMBING TWO FLIGHTS OF STAIRS HAS BECOME DIFFICULT. MY HONEY BRENDA'S LEGS ALSO GAVE OUT TO THE POINT THAT SHE COULDN'T STAND UP EVEN WITH MY HELP. SHE WANTED TO DIE TO BE SET FREE FROM PAIN AND SICKNESS. SHE HAD CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, FLUID ON HER LUNGS, KIDNEY FAILURE, BODY EDEMA AND CHRONIC PAIN ALL OVER HER BODY. MY ONLY CONSOLATION IS KNOWING MY HONEY IS NO LONGER IN SCREAMING PAIN. SHE'S FREE. WE'LL MEET AGAIN IN ETERNITY WHEN MY TIME COMES. I HAVE ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER SO MY TIME IS RUNNING OUT AS WELL. I'M READY TO DIE AND JOIN MY HONEY IN DEATH. LIVING WITHOUT HER IS JUST TOO HARD AND LONELY. I FEEL DEAD INSIDE WITH NO HOPE OR PURPOSE TO KEEP GOING. DYING IS EASY. LIVING IS HARD.

Hello, my name is Penny. Three years ago this past April, I lost my husband, Jeremy in a senseless single-vehicle roll-over car accident, which also took the driver's life. That accident was caused by, of all things, distracted driving; his friend (the driver) was texting her daughter while she was driving.

My dog (tiny Pom) has been a tremendous help…

I know what you mean. I hope fostering helps you; I'm sure it will help the dogs.
I did receive the e-mail about Zoom, but I am not interested in participating. If you are, I hope you find it to be good/helpful.

Hi Bluebird, 

Losing Babie J broke the other half of my heart. I know I can never replace her just like Julian but in her honor I will be a foster mom. BTW, did you get an email from Diana at this site with an invitation to join their Zoom meetings?. It should be interesting.

I want to be clear, I am not suggesting another dog as a replacement, just saying that maybe having another furry little one to love might help. Entirely up to you, and there's no right or wrong choice, just the choice that's best for you.

Linda,
I'm sorry about Babie J. Our cat Benny died a few years ago, and it was bad both because I love him and because he was a link to my husband. So I do understand how hard that is. As for me, I'm the same as always. Sad, angry, wishing I had died with my husband. This will never change, for me. I hope you are able to get back to some peace, though. Have you thought about adopting another dog? For some people that helps, for others it's too painful.

Hello Joe & Bluebird,

Happy New Year.  I haven't been on the site since September. My Sweet Babie J was declining with dementia and she needed all my attention. She passed away 5/20/20. After 8 years since Julian died, this past year got a little easier, Losing My Sweet Babie J was a big blow. She saved me after he died and now I have lost her. I know I am not alone in thanks to The Rainbow Bridge website. It is a place I can go to for support because my family & friends just a Dog to them. She was my heart dog and no other will ever replaced her. How have you two being doing??

I'm still here Linda. Have trouble with some sites but it's in the settings on my end. I had to turn off a privacy setting to get here which I never had to do before. A wee or two ago, I posted on losing someone to cancer with no problem. Now I have to fiddle with settings just to get to this site, and fiddle more to sign in. Has to do with HTTP vs. HTTPS. In the past it just gave a warning but now won't even connect to the site unless I allow tracking.

Nothings changed with me except worse. Joe
