When the time is right, Sherpa's gonna send you a wonderful companion to fill that back seat - not to replace him, but for you to share all the love and kindness you have in your heart.
I agree. Some day a little friend will come along and you will know. Many if us have been there. From time to time I see a movement out of the corner of his eye, there is nothing there but I know it is my Sammy, just checking up on us.
My Allie Boo did that. Now my Tuck is almost 8 years old. My luck is she sent me an orange tabby. I needed a wierdo.
We are here for you, Jamie ❤
@@joannacurran8475 You are wording my experience as well; I hear a sound, see a shape, and know it's my doggos keeping an eye out for me, and somehow it is very comforting. I know what Jamie is going through, and my heart bleeds for him, but it will get mellower over time.
guys, too soon for this.
when you lose a friend of over a decade, you don't just go find a replacement.
please give jamie the time he needs to mourn his friend before encouraging him to move on to another pup.
please. 🥀
Jamie you have to stop feeling bad about grieving, he was an integral part of your family. Those of us that have lost both pets and humans know exactly how you feel. He will always be right by your side protecting you. That he loves you is completely obvious in all the work you have done with sherpa. ❤❤❤
❤
I'm starting to cry again. I've felt that horrible gut wrenching pain.
So very very true!!❤
It's the worst.
But the years of love and friendship are the best.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sherpa was sitting on a cloud saying to you " dad, I loved my garden. I loved patrolling it, laying in the shelter and watching you doing some gardening. I love you dad 💙"
Well said.
❤
💖
You made me tear up!
Definitely
When my Husky died in November of 2023, I couldn't even go into her backyard for 6 months. Take your time, Jamie.
@@Robert-hn3gq this made me cry, when my dog passed away my mum had to hang up the laundry in the backyard for months I couldn't go there. It took me months to find the strength to go there and it's now over ten years since we said goodbye to that girl and my mother has passed away since then too three years ago.....
After I put Champ down after 13 years with him, I couldn't walk around the neighborhood without him. 😥
@@winterblommetjie 😢Remember your girl is now in heaven with your mom and they visit you. On day when the time is right you will meet again ❤
When I lost my dog I dug him a grave and buried him in the woods well away from my house. While I was digging it started to rain and I got all muddy. Finally I had him in his resting place and went to the house. I took my muddy boots off and left them on the front stoop. I had a bottle of wine and slept. Woke up the next day and went to the kitchen without my glasses on and saw something dark on the stoop through the window and opened the door to let Max in, and saw my muddy boots and remembered he was gone. Very tough morning. Hang tough Jamie, Sherpa wants you to have happy memories and not regrets.
It's brutal & there's no way to avoid those sudden harsh reminders. I remember finding a whisker stuck in one of my jumpers not long after I lost my 19 year old cat & just breaking down howling over it. Just have to be as kind to yourself as possible, I agree & think on the happy times.
Jamie - there is no right and there is no wrong to grief. Let it take you. It is meant to be painful but it is a healing pain so just go with it. Follow your instincts. Know that through the pain is love. ❤
Thank you for sharing. Those of us who've been there understand.
Yes, it is very sad :(
Don't tidy the van until you're ready. There's no time limit on grief 💔😔
That's good advice
Yes, no hurries.
I came here to say exactly that. The van could be pristine, but it isn’t going to change how you are feeling. Sherpa will always be in your heart xxx
@@christinaneeparker absolutely 💙🙏
Absolutely. Grief will stay for ever even though it lessens.
You gave him a wonderful retirement home to live out his last days ❤
The Best!! Jaime gave our beloved best boy Lord Sherpa the best life. Truly. I'm still carrying around a bag of onions since he passed. 🌰 😢
@@TheeCuteness me too. I have to sop cutting the onions. My heart is breaking for Jamie, With time I hope he can heal.
@@TheeCuteness me too. How loved was that beautiful boy!
There's no timeline for grieving, and losing a pet hurts more than losing a person. Pets give us unconditional love, unlike people.
Absolutely ❤
Worse than losing your child?
Thank god…someone else gets this. I’ve said the exact same thing before and been berated for saying it.
@@AnnieBananie-nm8yn We love our children and we love our fur babies and it is excruciating to lose both.
@@starlodear2987 We love our children and we love our fur babies, it is excruciating to lose both.
He's around. The first dog we had used to sleep in our bed. When we had to say goodbye, I was in bed trying to sleep. All of a sudden I felt something jump on the bed. I looked back and nothing was there. I know it was our pup letting us know he was ok.🐾❤️🐾❤️
That's happened to me at least 50 times or more with all the pets I've had over the years that have passed away.....💛💛
Jamie it's not wrong to take care of the garden Sherpy loved so much. You honor him by keeping it beautiful
I'm a grown man- an outdoorsman, and ex-infantryman, and I am sitting here crying with you again. I'm so glad you mowed Sherpa's "toilet" into the lawn. As that beautiful garden grows, it grows as a monument to Sherpa, and to you, and the love you shared. Give yourself time, there is no rush at all to tidying up; it was one of the hardest things I had to do when my Soul Dog passed. We mourn with you Jamie, and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for sharing Sherpa and your life with us.
Well said, straight from the heart ❤️🩹
You sound like a dear strong man, bless you. ❤️🙏🕊️
I’m weeping again due to these beautiful sentiments. Sending my love and prayers to aid you in returning to full strength, along with our Jamie. Warm hearted gentlemen both. Teresa
You had the right words, as if you had read my mind. 😢
Oh man! Just reading your comment has got me going again 😢 Beautifully written ❤❤
It will always be Sherpa's garden regardless how many times the grass is mowed. His spirit and love will always remain...
Beautiful said!❤
It's 46 years since I lost my beloved horse - he was so sweet, like a big dog. You eventually stop crying but you never stop missing them ❤
Beautiful said. You honor your love by sharing, thank you. 🙏🐺
Sherpa is always doing his patrol. The smell of the farts is his way of saying that he is ok. Love and hugs Jamie.
Don’t feel bad or apologize for grieving Sherpa. At some point he will send you a new friend to care for and love as you do Sherpa. He’ll always be in your heart.., that love never goes away.
Smelling his farts is his way of letting you know that he is there with you always Jamie we love you
That's exactly what I said ❤! It's Sherpa's way of saying, "Dad, I'm here with you, I'll always be here at your side."
I thought i won't cry.. I was so wrong ..😭. I missed Sherpa.
R.I.P. Sherpa.
same
Same🖐❤
Hope you find a wife and make a family ❤
Ditto
Same,,missed very much,,love Sherpa. This is wrong....😦〰️〰️❤😢〰️〰️🌅❤
I find it comforting that you’ve left Sherpa’s bowl out in the shelter,it’s like he can come back for a drink at any time.
yes ,I agree , I have left much of my baby girls things out , it helps a lot, not for everyone I know but for me it is reassuring to see boo's things around claire
@@veganvocalist4782 ITA 💯 my heart passed Feb, 2020 and I still have her blankies on the corner of the sofa, where she loved to sit. I don't think, I'll ever put them away.
could this happen? what happens to the "soul" or animus of a pet anyway? where does it go and can it linger a time before "passing on"?
He has left the world, respect it... Do you want people to suffer after you leave?
Dear Jamie. As everyone has said, there is no time limit on grief. There is nothing you are required to do or say. Sherpa was a huge part of your life. His loss is a great one. I don't know if this will give you comfort, but Buddhists believe in reincarnation after 49 days. The mourning period is 49 days. On the 100th day, people are assured that their loved one has been reborn. Sherpa is with you. He will always be with you. Don't push yourself to move forward. It will happen. Do not feel bad about breaking down. Your grief is your love.
The places that Sherpa used to go, patrol & sleep will always be Sherpa places even if you do mow the grass or move Sherpa's things. Life without your bestie will be weird for a while - just remember he's still with you in spirit.
I'm so sorry Jamie, everything's going to remind you of Sherpa , he will never truly leave you.
I agree, its the happy memories that emerge in time 🕰️
Yup, first it's just pain, lowering over time. Then it's happy memories.
@@ritasworld6345 Sometimes the pain will never leave! But the pain get's a bit lesser over time.
@@ritasworld6345 agreed.
😢
It is clear Sherpa loved his house and garden so I'm sure he's still there in his favourite spots watching over you. Those we love never leave they're all around you and especially in your heart ❤️
❤
Please don’t feel badly about getting emotional, Jamie. Heck, I am still crying over Sherpa-you are more than entitled to do so, too! It is always so hard to put their things away. I packed up my Suzi’s little outfits and leads and stuff and it was so painful. But her ashes are next to me as I work, with her collar and her photo. She is there with the ashes of her siblings that passed before her, and their collars and photos. I miss each of them every day. But what blessings they brought to my life, just as Sherpa did to yours. Love and hugs, Carmel. 💜💜💜
Me 2 i love Sherpa and i had book in my Book
I agree! I know many of us are still crying, myself included.
Right??? That's when the onions hit me again. 😭😭😭
❤
Am with you, as am still crying over Sherps :(
Matter is transformed but not destroyed. Sherpa’s energy is still very much here with us.
He's with you, he's watching over you and he will always love you just like you will always love him. You will feel his presence everywhere.
Dear sweet Jaime, it takes time to learn to live without them. It's never an easy transition. You'll get there.
That's so true. I needed to read that myself as I am trying to transition from not having my BFF.
@@CelticAngel2530 I'm so sorry honey. Loss is never easy and everyone deals with it differently . I really hope you'll be ok. I lost both parents, both brothers, a BFF and all 3 of our dogs in the last 15 years. I get it. It just sucks!! You're in my thoughts and prayers
Sherpa had the best life and dad
Sherpa is chewing on chicken balls wagging his tail in heaven. You can be proud that he had a wonderful life Jamie. He will always be with you in spirit mate. Take good care of yourself….
Hang on Jamie, a door to the future is going to open, and Sherpa will always be with you. There’s no time limit on love! You may just have to ask yourself, “What would Sherpa want for his Daddy?” Someday your heart will swell even bigger❣️🥰😍 Thank you Sherpa for being a loyal friend, dog, child, to Jamie. You taught him well, angel!
Jamie.. You have so much love to give.
I fully understand that it's too early to go and get a new dog, but with all the love you have to give, and with your love for going on walks.. please concider visiting your local shelter and take one of the unfortunate doggo's there out for a walk. They could really use the excess love you have.
You could even tell them about Sherpa.
Sitting alone with all the grief isn't healthy. Give an unfortunate doggo some attention and share your grief, and they will help you in return.
He's walking beside you always.
Tears are falling here in the US
Big time! 😢😢❤
Jamie, I lost my guy after 14 years start of June. I was devastated and still am. A good friend of mine suggested leaving items of his around the house as a gentle reminder. I couldn't bear to cleanse my life of him. I keep his blanket on my bed. His stuffed bear remains on the floor where he left it. He will always be with you. Our beloved animals really become part of us. It's hard to let go. You have a worldwide ring or friendship, likely many dog parents too! We're here and Sherpa will always be there, every step of the way. Big hugs from across the pond friend.
I still have my Snoopy's toys 🧸 all around the house 🏠 ❤
You never get over loosing someone so special, you learn to live with the loss.....but you never forget ❤
That's the honest truth.
Jamie, making that final decision is the last gift we can give our dogs,even though the grief tears us apart. Your love for Sherpa and the bond between the two of you shines through in every video. Sherpa will always be in your heart, and ours. ❤
Jaimie, I lost my 17 year old doxie, Buddy, May 13th. His remains will be scattered with mine. Right now, they are in his bed next to my desk with a toy. There are toys all over the house, and I will keep his favorite clothes. I talk to him every day. I have no idea when the tears stop. But this weekend, I am going to start dog sitting. I think it will help. Buddy and I used to watch your and Sherpa's videos together ❤️. Bless you, Sweet Man. He will be with you forever.
I think when you get his ashes you should plant a tree in your garden dedicate to Sherpa. That way you can see him all the time.
What a lovely idea
I love this idea 👍👍👍
Good idea. My sister had her cat buried under their oak tree in the yard because he always played with and chased the squirrels around its base and up the trunk.
Yes, ashes will give the tree a good healthy transition into the garden. How lovely its growth will be.
On the other hand: my hubby did a rebellish thing, instead of that he buried his father's last beloved dog in the garden of the house where that lovely dog lived his happy life, my hubby eventually buried the ashes in his owners grave, near the gravestone. (You aren't excatly supposed to that...) And a good decision was that, because the graveyard is still open, but the house with garden by and by was sold, because the relatives wanted it sold for the money they could get and share. Sold to the highest bidder, no relation. There the ashes are under a lovely rosebush on a stem from the garden of said house.
Our beloved Sherpa is everywhere. Even in our hearts. Which are broken! 😭😭💔💔❤❤
😭💔
Jamie, I sent this before but in case you didn’t see it- Sherpas always in front of you to guide your path, always behind, to never lose sight of you, and sits by your side until the day you’re together again. ❤🌈❤️I believe this with all my heart for any of us that has lost our babies.
❤
@@c_larsen❤ That's beautiful and thoughtful for Jamie and Sherpa 🐺.
Only people who truly love their animals like their own kids and treat them like their family would understand the pain and the grief you’re going through. Am broken hearted for you 😢 Sherpa was a huge character and not seeing him anymore in your videos is truly awful. The silence and the emptiness are so huge. Nothing and no one could ever replace,your beloved dog. Thank you for sharing beautiful Sherpa with us 💔
When they die, part of you dies with them.The wound will heal, but the scars remain❤❤❤❤
Grief is hard, you were the best Dad to Sherpa, you gave him everything, he is no longer suffering, it takes time and you will heal.
When my once-in-a-lifetime kitty died, I was devastated. It took me 10 years to get another cat, but when I did, I sorely regretted waiting so long. Nothing will ever fill that void, but having something to care for and continue the legacy sure does help. You're doing so well. ❤
Well said! 🙏
My Tinker cat was that perfect mesh of souls for me. I met her just a few months into my marriage, and I realize now that she's gone, I'd kept track of how many years I'd been married by how old she was. And now, I figure it out by 17 plus how many years she's been gone. For me, she was my perfect match. I have always been able to bond with non-human souls on some level or other, wild or domesticated, but Tink was... that was a once-in-a-lifetime bond. Soul deep. I lost part of myself when she left me. And I'm crying again, as I have often lately. 5 years later. I still love you, Tinker bug. Always.
Jamie, you gave him a rich, full, beautiful life.
Keep a dream journal by your bed. Write down the dreams you remember when you wake up. Sherpa will find away to visit you in your dreams.
Yes, lovely advice. ❤
Beautiful advice ❤
Jaime, we all grieve on our own time-lines. Just take a day at a time. Memories will startle you. You'll hear their collar jingle, their bark, their feet click on tile. Remember the good times and the love. ❤
Jamie, when my first dog passed away in 2019, I was devastated. My mum insisted I was depressed and paid for me to see a counselor. I told her what happened and how I felt and what was going on, and she said, " You are grieving. It looks like this. It is different every time, and it is different for every person. " I didn't want food, or another dog, or anything at all except to hold Oliver in my arms again. After a few months, I realized I needed another dog in my life, to help me be my best so I could continue to look after my cats. When the time was right, I adopted my current pup. I thought I'd feel sad forever, and I still miss Oliver, and I still think of him when I pass the place where he collapsed, or where we just sat when he was tired, but I'm sharing our favourite places with Wheeler now, and my heart feels mostly just love for them both. The pain of the loss eases over time. Sending love and strength ❤✊️
💙💙💙💜💜💜💜 Thank you so much for checking in with us so regularly, it's essential for me personally to know you're any semblance of okay but are still getting by.
absolutely we need to keep checking in with Jamie because we love him too ❤
Hey Jamie, try to look at it this way. By cutting the grass you're redistributing all the Sherpa goodness back into his garden that he loved so much.
Jamie please go volunteer at an animal shelter. I think it would bring you joy 🎉❤Sherpa always loved never forgot ❤❤❤
Yes, or maybe foster dogs in his lovely home.
Jamie, I was going to suggest doing something similar volunteering in someway, not necessarily with animals if that might be a little hard, but maybe doing some voluntary work in another capacity. This may get you out of the house and meeting people and just passing the time and getting your mind off Sherper. It just may help and maybe worth a try. Best wishes. ❤❤❤🙌🏻
I think breed rescue fostering might be good
Husky are hard to place and need people who can work with them
But he needs a break and time
I think sometimes years between animals
Fostering is hard as well.. ibhavent done it but a friend who does says it is intense
I have fostered dogs in the past - always ended up adopting. It is a good way to see if there is a fit. I love the idea of you volunteering at an animal shelter. You would be among like minded individuals. Even introverts need other human interaction occasionally. 🥰
Please, let him mourn in pease. When he's ready, he will take a step in a direction that suits him.
I miss seeing Sherpa lying in the backyard when you pan around. I keep thinking I'd catch a glimpse of him patrolling the perimeter or relaxing by the door 😢. The Polaroids and the bottle fluff are both priceless to you as well as his millions of fans.
Jamie you definitely have a lot of love to give another buddy. You will be surprised how another dog will help heal your heart and loneliness
Absolutely it takes me 2 years and I will never forget my boy but what a comfort to have my new Friend. Missing you Sherpa.🙏💔
Sherpa was a part of my, and many people's, daily life and thank you for still uploading videos of him. Lord Sherpa is still with us in spirit.
Hang in there Jamie, 😢 we dog people are all saddened by your lost .
*pet owners... I don't believe that there's a difference between dogs, cats and other companion pets.
And kitty people too. I've lost a couple in my life.
I'm a cat, dog, spider lady and I empathize with him. I love all animals ❤
Jamie do what I did. Adopt 2 cats of the same litter. Sit and watch them play. I did it. Grieving will be easier for you. CATS are healing animals. Don't go get another dog. You're too sensitive. It's time to take care of YOURSELF JAMIE ! YOURE still young and handsome. Time flies. Im 72 y.o. It seems like I was 30 yesterday. May God be with you on that quest of yourself ! He's got a plan for you. Sincerely Johanne from Canada.
@johannebernier3089 yes, sometimes I think it's best, when you lose an animal, to get one of another species. Doesn't feel like you're replacing your baby, but you still get companionship and get to give a great life to a babe
Sherpy will always be patrolling his garden and accompanying you on outings! His spirit is bonded with you forever! 🕊️🐶❤️
Please visit and volunteer at a local Dog shelter Jamie.. There are so many dogs that needs a dad like you ❤
I know how lonely you are and how much you miss Sherpa. He’s definitely around you and watching over you. I remember the first time I cleaned my car after my pup had passed away. The most difficult thing was cleaning The inside passenger window because that’s where she stood and looked out the window. She left “nose art” on that window. In fact, I left it there for a few washings of the car before I could bring myself to clean it off. I’ve vacuumed the car many many times, and there’s still Josie hair in the carpet. She will ride with me until this car is gone, take care and know that we are all thinking about you.
So hard to lose a fluff-maker, even when it means gaining a guardian angel. I'm sure he still patrols his garden and walks beside his dad.
Baby steps... You're grieving. It's OK! Keep moving. Keep talking. We're here; listening! 🤗🌼🌟
❤
He's there in spirit, if you can smell his farts ❤
You're doing OK, Jamie
1 day at a time. You're still getting up in the morning, eating, doing chores. 1 day at a time.
Cry if you need too. We're ok with it.
Thanks for the walk to the old stone keep the other day. It was interesting and pleasurable.
A new adventure.
1 day at a time, you're doing well.
Took me more than one year to grieve my cat Halley. Now I am okay. Believe it or not she has reincarnated and is back with me, slightly different look but same energy and same eyes, I recognized her immediately and my mum recognized her too. I send you love, light and courage ❤
Jamie, please do not apologize for your grief. It's a natural human, with a heart, reaction. We pet parents understand. It's lonely to go home and it's empty. When you smell Sherpies sent (good or not so sweet), or when you think you feel something brush against you, I think that is their way of letting you know they are still with you. I'm feel quite certain, that, if you felt like you wanted to reach out to any of us to chat or vent, it would be perfectly fine. We're all here for you.
❤
Sherpa's spirit is always with you. Look for the signs. You may dream about him, feel his presence or even smell him. He will never leave you. He loves you as much as you love him. One day he will send you another pup to love. RIP Sherpa ❤️🙏
I believe Jamie will one day show off his new fluffy companion. I think he needs it more than ever...
Yes, Sherpa is just training him to be a good boy, then he'll send him to Jamie.
My heart aches, too, Jamie.
I'm crying right along with you. My heart hurts so much for you. Sherpa will always be a part of your life❤❤❤ love and hugs
Don't let Sherpa passing prevent you from obtaining another pet, if they lived forever we would never have the chance to love more than one!
Jamie, when you were outside and said "Sherpie, where are you, Buddy?" He did answer you ...inside the house when you smelt his fart! You knew it was him! Sherpa 🐺 will always be at your side or patrolling his garden. So, keep talking to him. ❤
He will make himself known when you least expect it (even farts).❤❤
Jamie, when you’re ready, there’s another baby out there who needs a great daddy like you. Sherp would want that. Be good to yourself. Still will always watch your channel. Much love to you.
Oh Jaime, you are not alone in your grief. I really, really wish i could give you a hug. But we are very thankful that you are still letting us come along in your journey. Godspeed! 🙏💚
I lost my pup five years ago
She is still alive to me in my memories
A once in a lifetime pup is always loved and missed
Sherpa lives through you and your memories
Jamie love, you have no idea what Sherpa has meant to me for the last several years. I have metastatic ovarian cancer and for years I’d sit and watch your videos while getting chemo and radiation treatments. My team of chemo nurses and even some of the oncologists would sit and we went on all yours and Sherpa’s trips around the world and now my heart is so broken for you over losing your best friend. I’m grieving right along with you Jamie and that boy of yours is forever in your heart, his fluff around the yard and even his 💩 poop will bring life to Mother Earth and this is the circle of life as we know it. I live in the 🇺🇸 USA in a small sea coastal town called, Westerly, RI. I am 70 years young my dear and today is my 21st Cancerversary of my diagnosis of Ovarian cancer. It is because of Sherpie i am still here. I have come close to death a few times but im still here Jamie and it’s because of Divine Intervention and great doctors. I loved Sherpa and if you would allow it, may I send you a small gift I’m making just for you? Chin up mate, we all love you and you are never alone. 🤎🤍🩶
When you have mourned, please get another dog. You're too much of a wonderful owner not to get another dog. Do it for us, for you, and Sherpa's memory
and do it for the dog that will have the best life ever. it'd be like winning the lottery.
Give him time folks. It might take quite a while when you've lost the best dog ever. It took me two years before I could say my dog's name without crying.
Yes by all means get a new pet ONLY when you’re ready!!! You were a wonderful pet owner & Sherpa would want you to dote on another
Yes, please ❤
@@gaileverettGail it took us two years also between our beautiful pups ….. ❤
I've never met Sherpa, but he has a hold on my heart that can not be described. I can't imagine the heartache you're feeling, Jamie. We will always be here for you and to walk down memory lane together thinking of sweet Sherpa. 🙏❤️
Jamie, you have every right in the world to still be grieving! Sherpa will ALWAYS BE YOUR BEST FRIEND!! You spent 13 WONDERFUL years together, adventuring, and then made a beautiful home & gorgeous garden for him! I LOVE the little bottles of his fluff! Larry will definitely appreciate you giving him one. I truly believe Sherpa is still with you and always will be. Your friend from the 🇺🇲
R.I.P PRECIOUS SHERPA 🐾🐕🦺💔🌈🕊😘💖
My son lost his best friend 5 years ago, and his brother came to him one day with a puppy. He's been living with that puppy for 5 years now, and Bucky is the best friend of all of us now. Be patient. The dogs we get to love come into our lives by God..❤❤❤🐾🐾
❤️❤️
After we lost our dog, we swore that we could never get another. We have two now. You can never ever replace Sherpa. All that you can do is love another. Give it a bit more time. Sherpa wouldn’t want you to be without another dog to love. You will be able to talk to the new dog about Sherpa and all the places that you went and did together. It will feel like it’s the three of you.
My nephew had to 'release' his big Labrador from pain, 6-7 years ago. He said he couldn't, wouldn't...... but I just got a group text from him an hour ago. A big silly pit or Rottie mix showed up a few days ago. He took him to the dog shelter with the choice to take the dog back if owners don't show up. Seven days later, the dog is playing in HIS creek now then zooming all over the place, and slobbering on my nephew. I guess this beastie knew he was needed there.
Lovely words Ember Teddy.❤
Jamie sherpa is supervising you cutting his big green bed and thinking please look after my garden so I can see what you are doing. Please continue to upload videos
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 the Rainbow Bridge together.
Sherpa’s spirit is with you, Jamie. He was everything to you & everything you did was for him. Let yourself grieve. Don’t ever feel bad for taking your time with it. Are you going to bury his ashes in his garden?
When I lost my furbaby, my friends tried to distract me, changing the subject when I said I missed her so much.They thought it was better not to dwell on it. But I needed to talk about my grief, and remember the good times with her. That awful pain did slowly pass, leaving a sadness mixed with gratitude to have had her for 11 years, and knowing I gave her a good life. I did the "never again" speech to everyone, too much pain, but 10 months later I rescued another sweet girl. Not a substitute, but wonderful in her own way. Bottom line for me-I like and need a dog in my life. Love you, Jamie!
I am the same, My Madge came to me about 4 months after my beloved Charlie dog of 12 years went over the rainbow bridge. I could not be without a dog in my home, and she is the only reason I go out of the house, when we walk in nature. I miss my Charlie dog every day, and always will do, but Madge is a new dog, in her own right, and a new dog to love. xxx
Me too , our beloved bulldog Nina passed away and me and my husband couldn't bear the thought of another dog , falling in love with and then going through terrible grief so we said never again........9 months later we got our rescue Winnie !!! Another bulldog and she's the light of our lives.....farts too !.Keep safe Jamie ❤
Many people have just the same crappy self-protecting attitude, when you have lost any love in your life, be it a parent, lover, child, spouse, or a dog or a cat or any pet that was a part of your soul and of everyday life. May we all be understanding that grief takes time, and deep love is for ever, and loss hurts, even if you lose a partner that you loved in divorce, and there's really no getting over it, only learning to live with it and learning to grow new space in the heart for other loves to move in, in due time, which is totally individual. You can get a new furry friend and still go on processing the loss of the earlier pet for ages. It is good to be clear about one's feelings and motives, so that the words of callous people don't rattle you too much, cause what do they know, actually???
@@DNA350ppm Very well said DNA. We carry them in our hearts forever, and the lost ones will always be with us. xxx
The hurt never goes away, it just lessens. When you least expect it you will remember something about Sherpa, and then realize you haven’t thought about him for a minute, and then feel guilty because you haven’t thought about him for a minute. PLEASE just take your time and know you have a whole community behind you wishing you well.
So very true. We are here across the many miles!❤
Jamie, I know how hard it is when your best friend is gone… everything reminds you of him. Don’t be afraid to find a new friend! 😊 Sherpa wouldn’t want you to be sad or lonely. ❤❤❤
Bless you Jamie. Grief is hard. You were a wonderful Dad to dear Sherpa. One day, in the fullness of time, you will be a wonderful dad to another wonderful dog. Be kind to yourself.
Jamie, you could not have known. Poor Sherpa did his very best, but given the vet's findings he would have suffered. It is a small comfort for you. keep the bits of his fluff.... put it onto a frame with his photo. Yes, he is there, with you. You will hear him, feel a gentle nudge. He loved his garden, and he would want you to enjoy it too. It is a great place to put the pieces back together. sending a hug. ❤️🐾❤️🙏🏻🕯🙏🏻❤️🐾❤️
Jamie, don't rush the grieving, nor the deep cleaning. Just take every day as it is. Maybe some volunteering at a shelter, or a quick escapade alone, some training, or a new wood project. But don't feel bad for being emotional. Heck, most of us come here and shed some tears, so you are super entitled to be sad. But also do something nice for you. Go watch a movie. Go eat somewhere fancy. Go swim and dive. You have every right to be sad but you also deserve to be happy. ❤ Hugs from Argentina.
One day at a time, dearheart, one day at a time. Time doesn't heals all wounds, but dulls the sharpness of the pain.
So true 😢💔
Amen!
So true,.....so very, very true💔😥
Here’s an idea I did for my pup that passed away of old age: I did a shadow box and put all of her belongings in it. And she had a baby blanket all of her life and I folded it and put it under the shadow box. Rip shep! We missed you! Your family is hanging in there.
That's what I did with my girl. Her collar and a footprint and a picture and a poem on a brass plate are in there! I get to see it every day♥
Lovely
I did one for my great Pyrenees after she died. We put a photo of her and piece of her fluff and braided it
I don't think that anyone is suggesting for a moment thatJamie could ever replace Sherpie, I am up to fur babies 6 and 7 - none of them are replacements and never could be, but my home and my heart are so much happier and healthier when I share them with my seniors. When Jamie's heart is ready, Sherpie will send a little friend to help heal. ❤❤❤
When I lost my best friend, she had chewed a water bottle the day before she died and I was annoyed having to clean the mess. When I had to let her go, I drove back home and took the biggest bit of water bottle from the trash and I held on to it for weeks.
You mentioned that it made you sad you were never going to pick up his poo again. It's not weird, Jamie, it's grief. May you heal well ❤
Hi Jamie we are all with you.. sending you hugs and love ❤ we all miss Sherpa he is with you for sure I am crying again 😢
You are definitely not alone!
We are all here for you Jamie, loving and supporting you. Please keep in touch with us. I have cried so much since hearing the sad news of Sherpa. He will forever be loved and missed. Such an amazing, wonderful boy. Sherpa knew how much you loved him Jamie (and always will love him). Take care, stay strong - we are all with you xx
❤❤❤❤❤ for the dog the whole world loved.
How is grieving for your furry best friend, family member, any different from grieving for a human? It's all about love no matter how you look at it. I'm still crying about Sherpy. Don't ever feel embarrassed by your emotions in regards to Sherpa, you were together a long time. ❤
It is much worse grieving for a pet. They only ever were good to you, no bad memories, unlike humans.
It is so terribly hard to get over the death of our fur babies, I still cry over my fur babies, even though you cleaned up his Pooh his memory will never leave Jamie. Like I said one of these day’s God is going to send an animal your way with Sherpa’s blessing, and you need to accept it with loving arms, you see that’s how God works, in mysterious ways and we never know why, we just trust his judgement 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰
We had to make the impossible decision 15 years ago with our Schnauzer who had cancer. I stayed in the room with him for an hour after he passed. The vet said and I’ve read this since the only 10% of people stay in the room because it’s so hard. Jamie you were and did everything for Sherpa and gave all of us the chance to love him too. He knew he had the best Dad ever which helped him be the best boy ever. I’m still upset thinking about my boy 15 years later and I have two new pups five and seven that I adore. These videos both before and after Sherpa passed have really helped me. You never need to apologize for being emotional about this. If anything it makes you a great human and Dad. Thanks for it all and I’ll keep watching even if it’s all the years of videos. Your love for Sherpa and hard work sharing it with us has been wonderful for our family. Be well you deserve the best. I hope Sarah is feeling well too.
Every dog is different. A new four legged will never replace Sherpa but will help you heal. I know it's too soon. Most of us out here know your pain. My dog is 21.
I was thinking maybe a rescue next time, whenever that is. Sherpa’s garden is perfect for that too.
Loosing a pet is the hardest thing! They will send you message that they are still around… even if it a smell of fart.
We are all here for you Jamie has you grieve that loss of that amazing boy
He's still there patrolling his garden watching over you
“I had a truly wonderful life, see all the evidence of this fact? I left it here for you to remind you of what an absolutely wonderful dog owner you are. Love, Sherpa”
Beautiful & Perfect 💜🤗💜
Jamie, you don’t need to rush your grieving. Everyone goes through it differently. There’s no wrong or right way to grieve. It’s a personal thing.
