THE GRIEF JOURNALS TO HELP IN THE LOSS OF A BELOVED DOG OR OTHER PETS—3—very moving
I have blogged the following in the past, but in this series on grief, I thought it appropriate to blog it again. Meredith
A Dog’s Last Will and Testament—Unselfish to the End (Author anonymous)
When humans die they prepare a will in order to leave their home and everything they own to all those they love.
If I were able to write I would also make out such a will:
To a poor lonely full of longing stray I would leave my happy home, my food bowl, my cozy bed,
my soft pillow, my toys, and my beloved lap– The gently stroking hand, the loving voice, the place
I had in someone’s heart, and the love which at the end will help me towards a peaceful painless end
while being held in loving arms.
And when I die then please don’t say:
“Never again will I have a dog the loss is much too painful.”
Find yourself a lonely unloved dog and give it my place in your heart.
That is my bequest. The love I leave behind is all that I have to give.
