Have you ever wondered if the Rainbow Bridge truly exists?
In 2020, I had to say goodbye to my beloved cat.
It was one of the most painful moments of my life—and in that moment, I told a little lie.
“Marochan, you don’t have to wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge.
Go ahead to heaven and enjoy yourself.”
I believe that heaven is a beautiful place.
There are delicious meals and tasty treats, lots of friendly animals, and kind gods who gently stroke pets’ fur.
I want my cat—and all our beloved pets—to enjoy that place freely, without worrying about us.
As someone who creates custom memorial gifts for pets, I often hear from people grieving the loss of a furry companion.
Many of them talk about the Rainbow Bridge and say things like:
“I want my pet to wait for me there.”
“But I don’t know if I can truly believe it’s real.”
Over time, I’ve come to notice something about those who struggle to believe in the Rainbow Bridge.
They’re often the ones who miss their pet so deeply, who long to see them again—but also feel torn, thinking, “What if it’s just a fantasy? What if I never get to see them again?”
They carry a quiet fear: What if I can’t reunite with my pet when I die?
What if my pet doesn’t remember me or won’t be waiting?
For those still lost in grief, maybe they’re simply not ready to believe in the Rainbow Bridge yet.
But sometimes, something small can shift their hearts.
One customer who ordered a memorial gift told me:
“It feels like my pet came back from the Rainbow Bridge.”
“With this handmade piece, I can see them anytime.”
Maybe, deep down, they truly wanted to believe in the Rainbow Bridge all along.
The Rainbow Bridge is in your heart
Over time, as I’ve spoken with more grieving pet owners, I’ve come to believe that the Rainbow Bridge isn’t just a place—it lives within our hearts.
Right now, you might still feel guilt or regret about your pet’s passing.
Maybe your beloved companion hasn’t reached the Rainbow Bridge yet.
Perhaps they’re still running toward it, waiting for your heart to heal.
But as time passes, the pain softens.
Little by little, the joyful memories begin to shine brighter than the sorrow.
Eventually, those happy moments take center stage—and I believe that’s when our pets finally arrive at the Rainbow Bridge, ready to live peacefully among their friends, full of joy and love.
It’s this story that gives us hope.
It helps us believe that one day, when our time comes, we’ll see my pet again.
Until that day, the Rainbow Bridge remains a gentle comfort—a reminder that the love we shared lives on, and that our hearts are forever connected.
Something to Look Forward To: A Reunion at the Rainbow Bridge
Doesn’t the idea of the Rainbow Bridge as a meeting place with your pet make the future feel a little brighter?
I’ve lost both dogs and cats myself.
But thinking that they might be waiting for me—just like we’ve arranged to meet somewhere—gives me comfort.
What should I wear when I see them again?
What stories will we share?
I want to tell them all my favorite memories.
I want to bring them lots of little gifts.
When I imagine that day, I find myself looking forward to it.
And somehow, it makes me feel like our hearts are still connected, even now.
For Those Who Couldn’t Believe in the Rainbow Bridge
Some of my customers have told me:
“I always thought the Rainbow Bridge was just a made-up story.”
This feeling is especially common among people who are practical, emotionally strong, or who tend to keep their true feelings hidden.
But when they lost their own beloved pet, many said they were surprised by how deeply the grief hit them—and how much comfort the Rainbow Bridge story brought them.
In that moment, something changed.
They began to believe in the Rainbow Bridge—or at least, they could feel it in their hearts.
Of course, not everyone receives this story in the same way.
We all have different beliefs, different experiences, and different ways of saying goodbye.
That’s completely natural.
Even if the story doesn’t fully resonate with you right now—even if you’re not ready to believe or accept it—it may bring comfort when your heart is ready to heal.
Right after a loss, everything hurts.
But if you come back to the Rainbow Bridge story sometime later, when things have calmed just a little, you might find yourself embracing it in a whole new way.
I’ve Experienced Pet Loss, Too
I’ve also gone through the pain of losing a beloved pet.
In my case, I’ve always hoped that my pets would move on from me and journey to a distant, happy place “heaven” where they could be free and at peace.
But one day, a friend gave me a copy of The Rainbow Bridge book.
I already knew the story and what it was about, but reading it again—this time as a heartfelt gift—brought me unexpected comfort.
It wasn’t just the words that touched me, but the kindness behind them.
Our hearts can change.
Sometimes they shift with a single word.
Sometimes, they soften because of a thoughtful gesture—like the book I received.
Even the people I mentioned earlier—the ones who once said, “I don’t want to believe in the Rainbow Bridge”—often smile when they receive a memorial gift for their pet.
Some have even said, “It feels like my pet came back to me.”
Deep down, maybe they never stopped wanting to see their pet again.
For some, that quiet longing is eased by the idea of the Rainbow Bridge.
For others, it’s a handcrafted memorial gift that brings comfort.
Each of us finds healing in different ways—and that’s okay.
