Sad day

Here is the poem I wrote and is on her door now and will stay
:(

In Memory of Diamond ...................

A Treasured Friend and my Soule Mate
Blessed was the day you came into my life
I will treasure this day for ever and for always
You accepted me as I accepted you
I trusted you as you trusted me

Together we travelled through fields high and low
The wind in your mane blowing it in my face
I clung to your neck as we ran swiftly through the grass
Your hooves barely making a sound as we were in full flight.

You are as gentle and loving now as you were all those years back
Never been any sort of animosity towards me
You are the perfect companion for me I hope I am the perfect friend for you
You have looked after me through thick and thin
As I now have to look after you in your time of need.
You are so brave despite the pain
You maintain the brightness in your eyes and the will to fight

I am here for you always my love
And always will be for as long as you need me
I will never give up as long as you have the will to live
I have the will to nurse you
I hope and pray
That maybe some day
will see you running free again
Someday soon
Until the time comes to say goodbye

Sadly the time has now come
I have done all I can for you darling
Your pain will soon be over, but mine has begun
You’re a fighter darling big and brave
My world will be an emptier place without you
Trust me darling we will be together again one day
Our ashes will join up in the future
Until then my darling Diamond
Rest and run free over Rainbow Bridge

In honour of Diamond ..... Horse of a lifetime

Oh Leviathan, I am so sorry for you losing your mare, her story has so reminded me of my little welsh/arab!
Like you I tried so hard, but the day came when I knew I had to let him go and if that wasn,t bad enough I then lost my beloved TB seven weeks after!
The pain of this was so unbearable I just wanted to join them, so I really do know just how you are feeling!
My thoughts are with you, it will hurt less in time! x
 
what a lovely clip had not seen it before.

I feel so cold and empty holding on to my bay horse night dress case i was given at 16.
I miss her so much already , so many kind people pm me and on this thread. Hubby does not understand the love I had for her, he is not tactile.

I need to be held so that is why I am cuddling Faloux I used her in the past when I lost my first mare so got her out horse box to use again.

Really pleased you are able to post...and give your hubby a kick up the b***s*** from me...you need a hug! My daughter has a cuddly horsey just like yours that she has in bed with her every night, takes up more room than her but it is better than trying to get her real pony in with her!
I can only imagine how you are feeling, but your horsey is now pain free and probably very grateful you managed to be so strong when she really needed you...so many horses never get such care, your horsey was very lucky to have such a wonderful friend, im sure she wouldnt want you to be sad for long.
 
My Guinea Pig Liquorice is fighting for her life tonight.. has been for 24 hours now, and hasn't been well for a few months now. It's hard when no matter what you do, nature has a way of twisting the knife, just when you think the little lass is winning.
It's tearing me apart, as I love this little lass, she's so affectionate, and friendly, which makes what's happening even harder to digest. I'm probably fighting a loosing battle, but she's surrounded by love, from me and also her sisters.. I can hear her replying to one of them as she hides under the fleece next to the radiator, she's still communicating, and moving about, so all isn't lost yet.
Several times over recent months, i've been in tears, distraught, as one problem after another just seems to dog her. All she wants is a normal life, and I have to be there everyday, to nurse her back to health, when she'd rather I just leave her be..
 
My little Faloux has been comfort to me over the years she is no longer in her 20's in fact she is older than Diamond was (oh i hate that word was) without giving my age away.


Hubby tries he took day off work but thats how he is not a huggy cuddly kissy person.

Hope your wee one turns the corner shadey would put a smilie face but can't smile at moment:(
 
Leviathan I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful horse. I know what you are going through as we lost our childrens first pony last wed. Very very old but much loved pony. Thinking of you.
 
Oh my, sorry just have to post or I will go mad.

expecting her to look at me when i come back in the yard. watching me when i go into house, her stable so dark and eery:(:(:(:(:(.

Oh god I miss my gal have to write down or I will com bust:(:(.
 
So sorry. This poem helped me in A few days a go when it was so kindly posted in my thread when I lost my girl on Sunday , hope it helps you.

If the day should come when I'm in pain,
And you know I won't be well again,
Promise you'll do what must be done,
If this is the battle that can't be won.

It'll break your heart, but please be kind,
Don't let your grieving sway your mind.
For this is when you'll let me see
Just how much you do love me.

Together we've had happy years
The future now can hold no fears.
Please don't let me suffer
so When that days comes, please let me go.

For my usual vet please will you send?
But stay with me until the end.
Hold me steady, speak to me
Till my once bright eyes no longer see

In time I hope you'll come to see
It's the last kindness you'll do for me
One more time please stroke my mane
And know that I'll have no more pain.

And don't be sad that it was you
Who decided this was what to do.
We've been such buddies through the years
Don't let me be the cause of tears.

You'll always see me graze now,
with the sun upon my back
Painful limbs won't tire me now,
however long the hack.

I live now in your heart and mind,
a lovely place to stay.
And what you have in memories,
no one can take away.
 
Leviathan I know what you mean. I had my horse-of-a-lifetime mare put down a month ago and I'm still trying to automatically stop looking into what was her box when I walk past.

They are so much a part of the rhythm of your life that when they aren't there anymore you feel lost. Or is that just me?

Anyway, stay strong, it will get better.
 
Things do get easier, i miss my boy so much but i can think about him and smile now. I am so happy i had the privledge of being his owner and so lucky for all the fab rides we had, all the times hes looked after me hunting and cross country.
I still have dreams were hes there, and hes come looking for me for a cuddle. I hope the dreams never stop as i really miss that face!
Crying and being upset is normal, it just shows how much you loved her and miss her. You did the right thing and shes at peace now. My thoughts are with you xx
 
L, with all due respect, the more you post like that the longer drawn out this will be for you because people will feel obliged to answer you;( same as I'm doing I suppose) and you won't be able to move on. Cherish your fabulous memories but don't be fed by them, that way leads to more heart break which you don't need.
 
Leviathan, I have just seen this thread and I'm so sorry. I know it must be really hard you right know but please take care of yourself ❤❤
