Hi Gary,

Thank you for accepting my different suggestions

“Thank you for caring for and Loving me. Every moment I was with you I felt cared for…. Life is very fragile and every moment is a gift”

“If I were a human being I would hug you and tell you I never once blamed any one or any thing. Believe it or not I passed with Love in my Heart and a smile on my face”

“I’m eternally grateful for the care you gave to me. So many scarier things happen to us birds out in the wild you know. Little boys randomly shoot us with bb guns and many times we birds misjudge a cars speed and die on the hot asphalt. I was in your grace when I passed. Could I have asked for more…nobody wants to die alone ya know? :)”

These are very important things for me to hear, that I can consider them both deeply and for a long time to come.
Thank You maitri2all – whoever you really are.
Somewhat cautious about any possible imbalance, I also. today, have come to consider:

“We were getting on so very well, loving together. I was only 3 weeks old. Now I will never know what it would have been like to finish growing up with you, soaring through the skies, then always coming back to land on your shoulder, to peck at the hairs on the back of your neck – again! If only we could have had just a litle longer together, even one season, loving and caring.”

I feel your pain 10000%, me soul is tortured as to what I have done. On October 13, 2024 a beautiful little sweet mourning dove walked I to my house and basically did want to leave, even though she could fly away She would come back. I keep hear in the house because She did not want to be in a cage.. so she basically was roaming about the house as she pleased, she just wanted to be near my mother and I always. I would constantly put her up in high places for fear of my dog getting hear or of us stepping on her. And well Unfortunately this past Saturday
December 21st I was doing things in the house getting ready for the Holidays and the sweet angel was in the kitchen on the Christmas mat I have to stand on to do dishes and I went to the sink to wash my hands and I had no idea the beautiful sweet soul was laying right there ! Right on the mat.!!! ! accidentally steped on her ! I hear her sweet little bones crack; I was in a state of shock!! I picked the beautiful soul up and she looked at me with her beautiful little black eye one last time and then her little head just dropped into my hands and I knew it was over ! The guilt I feel is overwhelming! I simply adored this sweet love and I was so honered to have has her come into my life. She was the sweetest little soul l ever met. I will miss her presence and I don’t think I am forgive myself for being so careless and not have her in a cage. It will haunt me forever

Dear Kristen:

I am so sorry to read about the tragic loss of your sweet mourning dove. I can feel the immense pain and guilt you’re experiencing, and my heart goes out to you during this difficult time.

It’s evident how much you adored her and how honored you felt to have her in your life. She clearly brought a lot of love and joy to your home, and you provided her with a sense of freedom and companionship that she cherished.

Accidents can happen, even when we’re being as careful as possible. It’s important to remember that you gave her a loving home and did your best to protect her. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, unforeseen things happen, and it’s not a reflection of our care or intentions.

Please be kind to yourself. The guilt you feel is a natural response to such a heartbreaking event, but it doesn’t diminish the love and care you provided. Try to focus on the beautiful moments you shared with her and the happiness she brought into your life.

If it’s helpful, consider creating a small memorial for her or dedicating some time to reflect on the joy she brought you. This might help in finding a way to honor her memory and the special bond you shared.

Grieving is a process, and it’s okay to take the time you need to heal. Surround yourself with supportive people who understand and empathize with your feelings.

Sending you strength and comfort.
