I just saw your update on IG and realized I must have missed a blog post, as I thought Baba was doing better. I see her time is near and my heart is breaking. Thank you for sharing Baba with us. It has been an honor to hear stories of her over the years and see the beauty and warmth she inspired in you. It's going to be hard to let her go. Yet such a love exists beyond time and space. It's okay that it hurts. "What is grief is not love persevering?" -- WandaVision
Tears of joy and sorrow all at once for you, my dear. Joy that you have known the ineffable love of your Baba girl. Sorrow at the grief I know you feel now and will continue to feel during this transition. Holding you deep in my heart, and Baba, too.
Although I am no longer a cat person, I love reading your stories about Baba. I have an elderly little dog who came into my life by accident at the age of ten years. She is the love of my life. I feel your pain and your joy. Sending you lots of love and support. I am originally from England but now live in the States.
Dearest Susannah and Baba, My heart is with you in these days...thank you so very much for sharing the beauty and transcendence of Baba and your relationship with her...you both have uplifted and blessed my life in these treasured years of her presence...such a sacred love you have shared together and with us. With deepest gratitude and honoring, I will continue to light candles for you in this time, Love Always to you both, JoRene
Thank you Susannah - your words came just as I needed them (as your words often do!) I found myself going through one of those transition doors unexpectedly, remembering and aching for those previous ones that have closed behind me and worrying about future ones.
Perspective and time are wonderful things
Thank you and Baba - sending you both loads of love
I find it so powerful to write future letters to myself--and also to make room for my inner child to come into the room and onto my lap and listen to her and soothe her. Thank you for this beautiful piece and my deep sympathy on your sweet Baba. May these times with her be full of peace and love.
Sending you tenderness and love and heartfelt support in this time. It's so hard to say goodbye to our animal companions, even when the time has to be chosen and you can't delay any longer, it still hurts, and the grief is massive. She will be with you in spirit <3
Susannah this is truly beautiful! Your wise older Self ushering you through a difficult time. Thank you so much for sharing this profound message of grace and love. ❤️
Oh Susannah, I’m in tears reading this, thinking of my own experiences of grieving my beloved animal soulmates. We are forever changed by loving them. I’m holding you and Baba in my heart, sending so much love and strength to you both. I love her from afar, as I’m sure your whole community does. Please give her a kiss for me ❤️
This is so beautiful and I feel this so much with you. Baba has brought a lot of magic to everyone around her. Love that she‘s getting kisses through time. 😻
Thankyou for sharing Baba with us, we all feel like we know a little piece of her and your relationship. I’m travelling a similar path with my beautiful dog right now, looking for signs of the end becoming very near every day. Much love to you both.
