Too Busy, Reclaim That Time When

Too Busy, Reclaim That Time When

This morning I was going through my mail and I realized that I missed a heartful moment that was shared with me, I missed it completely in the busyness of the replying moment. Perhaps I didn't want to deal with what that meant to me. We have all done that I am sure at one time in our life. This kind thoughtful lady had just lost her cat of 14 years, probably a cherished friend a very special part of her and perhaps her families life and I had missed the simpliest "oh no, I am sorry".  So I am glad that I got to reflect and correct that oversite and in turn allow myself to feel some of that grief once again that I had for our Gracie who got killed a couple years ago now.

"Dear griefing , reflecting on your loss of your kitty, 14 yrs that is good long life for a cat, I hope we get that much time with our Chaga. You must have  a million memories to cherish. It is amazing how our pets become part of our family and the love we have for them grows so deeply, when I lost our dog Gracie two years ago I was a mess, it still hurts sometimes. I was thinking about your loss this morning and it brought back some memories of my own, it is good for us to reflect. I did some research and  came across this helpful article and the link is below. This lady wrote a wealth of reflections that could be helpful for those that have loss perhaps their most cherished friend. This is the first article in her series, I added a couple extra that I am going to read later.  I have added this to my blog under Grief."

 

Thinking about your loss, I hope you are ok and are on your haling (healing) journey. Thank you for sharing your loss with me, and I am glad you got to have the time to be with your cat at the end, that is very special indeed.

Tim "

 ************

well at least haling is an actual word. I meant to write healing !

haled, hal·ing, hales
1. To compel to go: 
2. Archaic To pull, draw, drag, or hoist.

Synonyms for HALING: pulling, hauling, dragging, towing, tugging, drawing, carrying, lugging; Antonyms of HALING: driving, pushing, propelling, thrusting

hal•er, hal•est.
free from disease or infirmity.

I did not realize the depth of this word, I like the idea of haler, free from disease or infirmity, that is approriate for a kitty  who is no longer in pain and has passed on , no longer with us, yet free , there is some comfort in that, the halest . The definitions do not relate back to a death, but of the living, I can see using it this way. I am not in English class, creative composition perhaps, may I get a passing grade at least. 

The picture I plan to add to the title is of a little memorial of Gracie's collar and dog tag, like a feather, young, here for a brief time, all dogs go to heaven 

In two separate descriptions of the New Heaven and New Earth, the Bible mentions that animals will be present. Isaiah 11:11 says, “The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them.”

This description of peaceful relations between species of animal continues for three more verses, and a similar passage is found in Isaiah 65:25

Not sure what to title this post yet, well, maybe because I was "too busy" to read properly that may be a good direction to take this. 

Now on with the original article and advice to encourage us on our grieving journey ~ TLR

 May we become Good Ol' Men and Good Ol' Women , God continues to work on us

Philippians 1:6 "being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ" New King James Version

"Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart. I am so pleased that you have continued on in this with us, believing and proclaiming God’s Message, from the day you heard it right up to the present. There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears." MSG

  • Reflecting, Chaga was named after the mushroom that grows on Birch trees, Chaga has healing properties and is good for you. The sap from Birch Trees is very good for you, not as sweet as Maple sap, Maple to syrup takes 40 litres of sap to make a litre of maple syrup, Birch ratio is 120 to 1.

    Our Chaga lived up to the meaning of his name indeed

  • Thanks everyone for your kind words and condolences, for some of you he was your buddy, that means a lot, he was a friendly soul, loved to hunt squirrels, chipmunks, birds, bats, and mice of course. He lived to visit Hank and Betty in the morning for a little extra breakfast. I believe he had a heart attack. His death was very sudden about this time yesterday morning, I don't think he suffered, I was there and it was very quick. Just before Christmas KiKi Kitty came into our lives, and Chaga was the tolerant king , took him awhile to befriend her, deep down I know he loved to play with KiKi, KiKi knows he gone, she has been very quiet , grieving for sure. He also played hard with Mercy, will miss those moneys too. Time goes on, life goes on. Benjamin is fairly young, so he is not really aware of the change , if he was older this would have been harder of course, no explanation is required at this time, there will time for that in the future, as parents with pets this will be inevitable. When I grew up I had a petty cemetery, when you manage a pet cemetery you perhaps understand life and death a little bit more, being raised on a farm, the cycle of life is all around. Now Chaga was Megan and my first pet together, we got him as a kitten in the fall of 2017 when we got our first house. There was a lot of living between then and now, some cat drama, a lot of love. Waiting up for your cat to come home, we had a lot of those nights, he would always be there in the morning wanting to get in to have a nap, at least we do not have to endure that pain, his death probably could have happened any time or any place, the wondering the searching would have been hard. RIP Chaga thanks for the memories and the love you gave our family and thanks everyone again for your kind words and thoughts they are very much appreciated. Tim

  • RIP Chaga, sadly we lost you today, you were a wonderful friend and companion to our family and neighbours, we will miss you deeply. 🙏🐈‍⬛🥲❤️

    I think he had a heart attack, I was in the bathroom and I seen him come running out of the room upstairs, twitching uncontrollably, almost like he was having an epileptic seizure, then Chaga fell down the stairs and he was dead at the bottom of the stairs, it was very sudden , all happened within seconds , around 5 this morning, very sad, we miss him, he was a good cat, I will bury him tomorrow morning. It was hard to believe, I held him for a long time, before laying him by the fireplace, those last moments of petting our companion, our black panther, he is missed indeed. It's been awhile since I have lost a cat. Good memories. He didn't suffer , it happened so quickly. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of The Lord.

    Many reached out with their condolences, they they are much appreciated. I already miss making sure he is in for the night.
