This was taken in 2012, I would never have believed 2 years later I would have lost both of them :(

RIP my angels :(

Feel free to share photos of your loved ones too
 
oh god this made me cry, i am so sorry for you , can't imagine losing one of my boys let alone two. life's bloody cruel sometimes, my dad died suddenly on christmas day last year and i have to say not feeling too cheery about this one. hugs to you honey. xxx
 
They're both beautiful and the tinsel is fab! Thinking of you x
Shady,sending a hug and hoping you manage to find at least a little joy this Christmas-how awful for you xx
 
Oh my goodness, hugs to you both. I can't add a picture of Fly right now...I just put mascara on and It's already severely compromised after reading this.

So Sorry for your losses. 😥
 
What a lovely photo OP. I'm so sorry for you, and Shady, and On the hoof; and thinking of you and everyone else who has lost loved ones. Wishing you happy memories.

It does bring home how important it is to try and live in the moment as much as possible, and enjoy the simple things.

Lost the mare on the left jan 13 and lost my boy on the right in September :(

To the 2 posters who lost there parents around christmas time you have my deepest sympathies. I couldnt imagine life without my dad and to lose them around a time that is suppose to be for fun and family is so unimaginable xxxx
 
Just to say sorry to all who approach Christmas with dread having lost much loved family, friends and pets. Try to use Christmas as a time for positive rememberance and focus on the good times and memories you shared at this time of year. Europe has a much better way of managing death and that is that they keep the memories very much alive (all saints day as an example...literally queues to get into the cemetery)

Every year, I get out the last Christmas card my stepfather painted and sent me. It's me raising a glass and saying I still remember, miss and love you.

Thinking of my lovely Red, two years this Jan!!!!!

Lady Rascasse remember they never really leave us, they are in our hearts and at dusk if you stand in the field and listen hard you can here their hooves as they gallop all over it!!
 
Bless all of you that have lost family or horses, I hope you can manage to find a little bit of Christmas cheer sending you all a huge (((hug)))

Oh Ester don't you make me cry more I lost Joe Sept 11 but he was an old boy and a case of when was right. These two were only 12 when they died. Jazz was kicked and it caused a compressed vertebra in her neck she headshook to an unmanageable level and just stopped living in the end despite our best efforts and Jack fractured his pedal bone and suffered neurological damage whilst on loan (he had been gone 4 months) . 3 in 3 years :(
 
Such a sad post. I've just like to send best wishes and sympathy to all who have lost loved ones at Christmas, it's hard at any time of year but Christmas when everyone is supposed to be feeling jolly just makes it feel all the worse.

The only solace I can offer is that the first Christmas after a loss is awful but after that it does slowly start to get better.

Grieving can be a long process, I'm still missing my little shettie who went over the bridge in June, whoever said that they never really leave us is absolutely right. Sometimes I still talk out loud to him telling him that he's not really gone because he'll be in my heart forever.
 
((HUGS)) to everyone who has suffered losses at Christmas or facing their first without loved ones. It is difficult to focus on the positive at times however, to pinch a quote "it is but to have loved than to have never loved at all". Happy memories everyone. X

This brought a lump to my throat . . . thinking of all those who have lost their beautiful equine friends . . .

I lost Jasper in August, the day after my Mum's funeral. I dare not think how Christmas will be without them both.

Here's Jasper in August 2010, just after he was diagnosed with Polyneuritis Equi. His tail was paralysed, so I had to cut it short to help prevent injury. He was only given a few weeks to live, but he was a fighter and made a decent recovery against his illness, until it came back with a vengeance this year.

The love of horses knows not its own depth til the hour of separation.
