The story of the Rainbow Bridge and my beloved dog in heaven
I create pet memorial items and sell them on Etsy.
For this reason, I have many opportunities to talk with clients about pet loss, and I am always thinking about saying goodbye to a pet.
In this article I will talk about the Rainbow Bridge.
This is a precious photo of me and my now deceased Newfoundland dog, MOOK.
When Mook passed away, a customer told me about a story called “Rainbow Bridge.”
It’s a wonderful story, and after reading the original text and listening to a video recitation, I fell in love with it.
However, every time I visit Mook’s grave, I find myself thinking, “Mook is no longer at the Rainbow Bridge. He’s gone to heaven and is living happily.”
Visiting the grave of my beloved dog Mook
It’s been over 10 years since my beloved dog Mook passed away.
I still visit his grave, but my loneliness has completely healed and I can laugh and reminisce.
When I visit the grave, Mook comes to see me in my heart.
But sometimes he doesn’t come.
When he doesn’t come to see me, I think to myself, “Heaven must be having too much fun for him to come here,” and I feel a little happy.
Mook crossed the Rainbow Bridge
Afterwards, I read The Rainbow Bridge and it said,
“The animals are waiting just before the Rainbow Bridge.”
When I read that,
I felt that Mukku had probably already crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
If I were to meet Mukku again someday, it might be in heaven.
Maybe in my dream tonight.
Maybe under the stars.
I feel that if I ever meet Mook again, it will probably not be Rainbow Bridge.
Because Mook has already gone to heaven…
If it had been right after Mook had died, I would have been too lonely to have these thoughts.I must have wanted to see Mook every day.
However, my sadness has now healed, and I want to think about Mook’s happiness rather than my own loneliness.
Thinking about it that way, I began to think that I didn’t want him to wait for me, but rather that he should go somewhere that he thought would be fun.
