How awful.. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. There is a wonderful website that I hope you have a chance to read which may help to ease the pain a bit:

http://petloss.com/

Here is a poem someone sent me when I lost a pet, and it helped me. I hope it helps you as well:

The Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Oh, I'm so sorry for your family's loss. {{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} I just lost my bulldog in January. He was the bestest dog ever, and I still miss him very much. My hope for you and your kids is that you will work through your pain and be able to enjoy the memories you have of your beloved Peaches.

I'm so sorry.

Sept. 30 is the 2nd anniversary of when we had to put down Nigel, our English Bulldog. He was 9 years old.

(((((((((((((((((((((((winnie))))))))))))))))))))) ))))

Please accept my sympathy. That is by far the hardest thing someone can do for their pet, and I'm sure that Peaches knew you were always good to her.

Do try the pet loss site - it's helped countless people I know. Peaches is playing with her new friends at the Rainbow Bridge, until she's joined by her family. I'll be praying for you.

I truly know how you feel . I had to put my black Lab Shadow down 2 months ago due to age. He was 14. I'm sorry for your loss.
