 Losing our golden girl, our forever love- How it feels like to lose pure love in life

Rachel shared how it felt like saying goodbye to the sunshine of their house, their pet dog, Sadie. She was a healer, a golden girl, and Rachel’s best friend. It’s like grief knocking on the door every day now!

Peacefully in heaven over the Rainbow Bridge, a forever puppy running her zoomies,
happy & healthy.


I have been avoiding thinking about, looking at pictures or even posting about the eruption in my world. With the election coming up, I’m thinking of take my social media break starting with that. But before I go I want my social media world to think amazing thoughts and send them into the universe of all the amazing things our Sadie Sunshine girl was. I have to more say which I’ll share elsewhere, since I’m a blabber especially when trying to move through tears.

We said goodbye (for now) to our beautiful, strong, fighter Golden Girl, Sadie. We loved her more than we loved anything or anyone in the world including ourselves (judge if you like).

My sister was miraculously steered toward this golden puppy, who was destined to be our families’ new member. Instantly she was anthropomorphized, and become top priority in our lives and us in hers. She was here to mend the hearts and souls of our family. She was our first dog ever, and she was perfect.

10.5 years doesn’t seem like a longtime when losing a great love. The thing with dogs, is they are a part of everything, everything reminds you of them and in the best of way. I just cannot think about Sadie, look at my millions of photos and videos because her loss is so incredibly painful. I never thought I would be saying that anything about 2020 and Covid-19 produced any silver-linings, but it gave me one. Due to isolating and working from home, I got to be with her almost everything minute including her last breathe. While a human should be the pack leader, Sadie was our pack leader, and an emotional support dog. Kind, gentle, fun, (mostly) well behaved, pure of heart and soul. She was Frankie and best-friend, sister, nurse, which she remained so even though she was not ill as well.


Frankie, our lil’ guy. I don’t know how to handle my own grief or what to do with myself, but more so I am not sure how to navigate Frankie’s grief.
