Death may be a scary and harsh lesson in life we all need to learn about but really, some don't learn about it till it's too late. This I thik will be a memory forever etched in the hearts of your boys. When I think about it, I think it is a privilege.

I haven't been by in a few days and just found out. We lost a pet bunny (Sadie Sable) a couple of years ago in a very similar manner. I suppose it's a common way for bunnies to leave us. It devastated my oldest but some comfort was found in our memories of her. In the end, it was just a sad time that took a while to get better. I hope it won't be to long before your boys find some comfort in their memories of Brownie too. Susie, I am so sorry to read about Brownie. I haven’t been by in a few days and just found out.

My dad is a fighter, however he has come to terms, I believe, with letting go. I wouldn't even be able to speak these words right now. Our beloved friend Mook (our dog) is also knocking at the door. I have been so lucky up till now with not losing someone soooo close. Hope your little one has gained some understanding of it all, although I don't really believe one can ever do that.

We're struggling with similar issues here today. One of our cats was hit by a car. We found him on the way home from piano class. Dave is digging the hole to bury him right now. Every life is significant. Some carry more weight with us than others because of our attachments, but they are all certainly significant. I think you're right - I think that being there with Brownie was a privilege. It sounds as if your boys are beginning to heal. I'm glad for that. You guys have been on my mind.

I discuss their jobs with them regularly. I often ask inquisitively about the patients in the ICU just to get a glimpse in to what these nurses go through in their daily jobs. I asked one one time why in the world they chose this critical care part of nursing. She told me she likes helping people in to that "next" phase of being...in to death. She said she finds comfort knowing that she is helping them make that "transition" as she called it, not only with the patients, but with the families. She felt honored and privledged to be a part of that with these patients. So, yes, a privledge...any lviing thing needs someone, something there to help them with that tranisition. And, I'm sure Brownie was comforted, just knowing it was your family (and especially YOU, Susie.) that she was with. You know, I often think of the nurses I work with.
