   Yes I can share one .At the age of 9 I had my first pet. He was a cuddly puppy. I just about loved him to the extreme. Because there were no other children in the house. He was many things to me.
   So I gave my puppy a bath and he jump out the water some one came to the door in the dead of winter he ran out in the cold and snow. When he was found he had pneumonia
   His lungs and nose was closing up we tried everything to save him. My first time I really e perience death of something I loved deeply.
   I cried for a week ! I grieved like I could not bare it. My mom knew this was hurting me so bad she shared this story with her coworkers
   And a good friend came and told me he would come and take me to an animal shelter and pick a new pet. I was not so sure.but he did just as he promised. I picked a cockpoo !
   Cockerspanial poodle mix. He was just gorgeously curly black with 1 streak of white on his chest. I named him charlie ! Charlie lived very old until he was all grey .Amazing
   how I was not there this time when he died but he lived with my mom after I got married
   Pets were not allowed where we lived.
   I truly understand how death can effect our emotions from the heart.
   That is just one reason I have learned as a
   JW that death is not natural we all want to live and what we love we want to live. I am so happy to share this comfort written
   
   Re 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
   
   Yes death will end in the future but not a long waite anymore.

   Hi. I don't really have a story to tell. I can tell you that we all experience loss. Even as grown women with years of experience, death sucks. I too believe it's not natural. We can learn how to cope and find ways to carry on. I still cry when one of our pets die. I hope you find comfort.
