I feel my heart minced into those million little pieces. The unconditional love of our animals is like no other. This kind of heartbreak that has yet to be named. (in English anyway) May Oscar be running around with new and old friends. Feisty and Fierce. And spreading his doggie love all over!

They sure do teach us, and on THEIR terms.

My kitty Stella saved me when my daughter passed away. There was something so primal and comforting about laying our bodies next to each other, and hearing our mutual heartbeats. It reminded me that life goes on. It made me listen to our oneness (despite the difference in cat and human heart rates.) Holding my Stella gave me a window into the power of the life force, without words; without anything else, but two heartbeats melting into one.

Suleika, may you feel the heartbeat of a million others, knowing you are not alone. May you feel held and loved through this loss with no name.
