utterley heartbroken...my best friend pokey is dead

I am so terribly upset for you, if I could take your pain away then I sincerely would.

Pokey was taken from you at such a young age, so Im sending you this poem which is very apt ...

"I'll lend you for a little while, my Grandest Foal." God said,
"For you to love while he's alive, and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be one, or twenty years.
Or days or months, you see.
But will you 'till I take him back,
take care of him for me?
He'll bring you charms to gladden you,
and should his stay be brief,
You'll have those treasured memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught on earth
I want this foal to learn.
I've looked the whole world over
in my search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
with trust I've selected you.
Now, will you give him all your love,
nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come
to take him home again?
I know you'll give him tenderness,
and love will bloom each day,
And for the happiness you've known,
you will forever grateful stay.
But should I come and call for him
much sooner than you planned,
You'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and maybe understand."
 
So very sorry, you must be devestated

RIP Pokey.x
 
Let yourself cry. Let yourself grieve, don't hold back.. cry, scream, shout, let it all out.
It's not fair. Life isn't fair.. you will feel like a huge, huge part of you has been torn away- it's understandable. But Pokey would of been so, so happy before she went- you gave her an amazing, loving home.
Time is the best healer. We live in such a dark, cruel world.
I am truely sorry for your loss, I really am. Lots of people here have been in the same situation as you- I hope we can help you come to terms with your loss.

RIP Pokey, never to be forgotten. xxx

Can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through.
I have had to read all the posts at intervals because I'm at work and the tears keep coming. I'm so overwhelmed with sadness for you.

So sorry, brings me near to tears just reading this as can completely identify with the shock and loss you are feeling having lost my mare and best friend 8 years ago at far too young an age.

RIP Pokey.
