    Bear Man will cross the bridge at 1:30 p.m. today. His last days have been good ones. He is resting beside his beloved Teddy right now. I am grateful that he is going in comfort, not in pain. The vet is coming to the house, and Bear will be in his own bed when he goes.

    Pat said in her condo today that "LOVE transcends the trials of this Earth plane.....all will be well". Please send vines to Bear Man for a peaceful crossing.

    Linda - I am so sorry - but I also know you make this final gesture for Bear man out of love, and commitment to him. It is truly the kindest gift. You are one incredible bean, Bear Man could not have had anyone finer. Be at peace knowing that you have done well. He will always be with you, always.

    Bear man - my candle is lit for you - I will help guide the way. I will never forget you - and love you forever. ~~ Mannie.

    Dear Bear Man....We love you so....you never said good bye to us all last night.

    You said "Farewell my friends, till we meet again" and you hugged and kissed us all.

    We will miss you terribly...but we know that you will be free of pain and worries...you will be free!
    We cry selfishly because we will be here, without you. But we know that you will be happy when you
    cross the bridge and for that we feel some consolation. Our love goes with you dear one...
    And so, we send you on your way...and we say Farewell, beautiful Bear Man...until we meet again.....
    ((((((((((Bear Man))))))))))


    ((Dear Linda))...we will light a candle for Bear man and send our love to you today....crying for you both....thinking of you...
    We are with you now...bless you for all you have done for him and hugs to you and Teddy and Emily

    The candles in LL will be a beacon to light Bear's way and will challenge the stars for their pure bright light. Thank you for sharing Bear with us. I so value the privilege of having gotten to know your heroic boy. He has persevered so much. This final decision is made with so much love and respect and dignity that you are as much of a hero as your Bear. He will be at the Bridge where he can see the butterflies he will no doubt play with. He will see old friends and new who we cherish dearly and who will be there waiting with him until we join them. He will not be alone and he will be loved and remembered always.

    Your photo of him sitting by the screened window facing the flowers is one that I will keep in my heart.

    ETA: There is one very bright star that has joined the heavens today. Fly free Bear Man. Your work here is done. There is only sunlight and flowers and butterflies and friends that await you.

    Also ETA: Ronnie is at work but wanted you to know her heart is with you. She said to let you know there are tears, love, and comfort being sent your way.

    A candle has been lit.

    We all know that this day will come, for us all, one way or another - the only comfort I ever find in it, for me, is the knowledge that death is just as much a part of life as birth, smiles, tears, good times, bad times...

    Strength to you (all) today...

    I cannot read through all these posts w/o sobbing. Please know that Bearman knows how much you love him and that no one could have loved him more or better than you. And, that he loves you just as much. This final gift you give him is the biggest gift of all, b/c it's all about your love for him and not about what you want.

    Bearman,
    Happy and peaceful crossing to the bridge. Cosmo is always looking for someone to get into trouble with, so I'm sure he'll meet you and show you around.

    love

We will light a candle, to light his way, and keep you all close in thoughts and prayers. Fly free, sweet Bear Man.

    Linda,

    Your love and selfless devotion to Bear Man has been an inspiration to many. I know you received as much from him as you gave, which makes this goodbye all the more painful. Sending you as many caring, sympathetic thoughts as possible for Bear Man's peaceful transition to the next plane, and to you as you grieve this tremendous loss. There are many kitties waiting to greet him, and I hope you have just as much support here, from Teddy, Emily, and some human folk as well.

    I also wanted to share this with you: http://www.pet-loss.net/surviving.shtml
    It was very helpful for me to read and reflect on after losing my beloved Cleo last October. The anniversary of her death is this Sunday, and while the pain can be just as intense as it was one year ago, the many memories of wonderful times with her help more and more every day.

    Take care.

    In deepest sympathy,

    Laura

    I'm just seeing this - and it's so sad to say goodbye to another of our special kitties. So sad.

    What a blessing for him to be able to go peacefully and in his own bed with his special mom holding him. They fight so hard and then sometimes just can't fight anymore.

    My heart goes out to you, Linda, in your sadness - know that many join with you in tears today. And what a group is waiting to welcome your sweet Bear - there will be happiness there as he joins those who we love so much.

    The memories and love will remain with you - holding you in my thoughts and heart.

    I know as I write this he is already gone, to fly with the other sweet angels who flew before him.

    He was such a very brave, very special boy. I will always hold him close in my heart. I hope in time, your wonderful memories of your sweet boy will bring you comfort.

    Our candle has been lite to help guide Bear Man across the bridge. Go peacefully oh wise one. Many many tears are being shed for you tonight. Remember...to live in the hearts of men is not to die. Looking forward to seeing you again, Bear Man.
    We love you and we will miss you.

    And God asked the feline spirit
    Are you ready to come home?
    Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
    And, as a cat, you know I am most able
    To decide anything for myself.

    Are you coming then? asked God.
    Soon, replied the whiskered angel
    But I must come slowly
    For my human friends are troubled
    For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

    But don't they understand? asked God
    That you'll never leave them?
    That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
    That nothing is created or destroyed?
    It just is....forever and ever and ever.

    Eventually they will understand,
    Replied the glorious cat
    For I will whisper into their hearts
    That I am always with them
    I just am....forever and ever and ever.

    I will miss Bear's presence here terribly. It amazes me some times how attached I've become to the FDMB kitties and their beans.

    Bear got to experience OTJ again before he left. How precious is that.

    I read this and my heart fell. I am so sad and so sorry that this day has come. Bear Man has fought the good fight. He was a very courageous boy. It's just time for him to rest now, and be free from anymore pain. You are a great mama to have listened to your boy's heart and done things just perfectly for him. I'm sure he has crossed safely and is in the protection of all of our GA kitties now, watching over you to make sure that you are okay. He will always be with you and he will always be remembered. By everyone on this board for sure.

    I am so sorry for your loss.

    Fly Free Sweet Bear Man wings_cat

    Hugs to you, Linda :YMHUG:

    Linda and Teddy...

    I am so terribly sad that Bear Man had to leave today. He was such a good boy and you and Teddy were amazing care givers. I know that all of our precious GA kitties, guided by the General himself, have met him at the Bridge and shown him around his new home. Bear is now free from pain...he's young and happy and maybe even has his sight.

    You and Teddy and all of us that loved Bear are the ones left to suffer and I so wish that something could take away some of your pain. Please know that my heart, along with many, many others, is broken with sadness for you and that you are in my prayers. Cyberhugs, white light, good vines...anything at all that might ease your pain will be offered.

    You are a wonderful mamabean and you have cared for Bearman with perseverance and so much love. Bear had a great life with you! I'm sure he returned his love to you everyday with purrs... Jojo once said that cats are special but diabetic cats are more special, and it's sooooo true. We heart you Bearman!

    We went out to the grassy field. A somber walk. And layed down on the cool lawn and looked up at the stars
    to wish Bear Man a good night.
    He made it to Heaven ((((LInda))))

    And, he looked down and saw you,
    for the first time
    he saw your light
    your aura
    and it is beautiful.

    (((Linda))). I am just seeing this now. I have been at this place that you are now too recently and reading this post makes me raw. Please know that we love Bear Man and you. I would like to repeat part of Skippy/Birten's post:
    "For I will whisper into their hearts
    That I am always with them
    I just am forever and ever and ever"

    Bear Man will live on in your heart. He (and you) have been a special pArt of LL.

    It is a very clear night here with lots of stars. I am going out tonight to see if I can find Bear Man's star. It should be very bright with all the candles lit for him. I am sure that Latte and Stu and my dear Tuscany were at the Bridge to embrace Bear Man.

    I wish you peace.

    ((((Linda)))),

    I know this is a very difficult day for you. My heart is aching for you. You must surely know that the Bear Man had the very best Mama Bean. He is celebrating his life with you, right now, and he is telling all the other kitties all about you and how much better you made his life. I know Calliope was there for the meet and greet and has made sure Bear Man was introduced around. Bear Man is free from pain and romping around with all of his new friends.

    I know even the visions of Bear Man flying free do not take away the loss and pain you feel right now, but it helped me to picture Calliope that way. I remember when I got Calliope and I knew that she would not outlive me. I thought about how hard it would be to say goodbye to her when the time came, but then I thought of all the joy she would bring to my life and the joy I would bring to hers. As bad as that pain is, none of us would trade the joys to avoid it. We are good people who are willing to care for our kitties in spite of the sadness when they must leave us.

    You, Linda, are one of the BEST of us. You have given so much of yourself and so much love to Bear Man. You gave Bear Man the very best life he could possibly have had. I admire you so much.

    Oh Linda words can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am. I know that your heart is totally broken right now and I wish I could do something to ease your pain . Bear Man was so very special but then of course you know that. How could he not be when he has such a special Mama who did everything and more for him that she could and loves him with all her heart. He will be missed so much. Today on my way to pick up Tori I stopped and bought a candle which hada guardian angel on it. It is lit tonight in Bear Man's honor.

    rb_icon Welcome, Bear Man, to the wonderful land on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. All the kitties here have been waiting to greet you. We are full of joy that you had a safe and peaceful passage, and that so many candles were lit to guide your way. Come and sit at the bar and talk to all of your friends while I whip up a little something in the kitchen for us all to eat. Our community is so greatly enriched by your presence. Here's to you, Bear Man!

    (((((((Linda, Teddy, Miss Emily))))))) It is easier to speak with Stu's voice right now. I know how difficult today must be for you and just wanted you to know that Edward and I grieve with you. Hold Teddy and Emily close and Bear Man will be right there in that embrace. He's flying free. He loves you. You gave him the best life and the best gift at the end of that life. Bear Man was an inspiration to everyone in LL and will live on in our hearts. Thank you for sharing him with us.

    In deepest sympathy,

    I'm crying my eyes out as well. Another huge loss for LL. It's amazing how we "know" Bear Man so well. Gosh, I'm SO sorry, but it was so great to hear that you were able to do it at home. What a nice gift to him and your other kitties. You are an excellent mom always giving the best care possible. Remember, love never dies. You and Bear Man are connected forever. xoxo

    (((Linda))) My heart hurts tonight knowing the pain that is in yours. For you were Bear Man's mama bean and he loved you so. I have not been on the board much lately but had to come and tell you that, without ever having met Bear Man, I grew to love him so much over the last few years that I have been here. You have been, and continue to be my hero, for you never wavered in your devotion to Bear Man and always knew what he needed; even finding the strength to give him a peaceful and loving passing. Bear Man was lucky to have you there for him, and I know he is looking down at you tonight from the stars above and sending you the same love and devotion you have always given to him.

    ((Bear Man)) you sneaked into my heart through your pictures and stories. Oreo and I will miss you, but we know that you are happy with all the kitties and your love will be with us all as we continue on our journeys. Fly free sweet boy!!
