My beloved Jazz – we shared 15 years together, both the highs and the lows, and you will forever be in my heart.<\/p><\/div>\n

I founded Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day in 2015, two years after my beloved Ragdoll cat, Mr. Jazz crossed the Rainbow Bridge on August 28, 2013. While perhaps the passing days have softened the pain of his loss, his memory still shines bright in my heart, and I will never forget the life we shared.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My sweet Jazmine who we rescued in 2014 and named in tribute for Jazz has much to do with this. It’s somewhat eerie, but when she carries a plush toy in her mouth the sound she makes brings me back in time. It’s the exact<\/em> sound Jazz made carrying a toy in his mouth and I have to catch myself from calling her Jazz. I like to think it’s his way of letting me know he’s still around and it gives me comfort to “hear” him talking to me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Jazmine back in 2014 – the first time I heard the noise she made carrying a toy stopped me in my tracks, as I truly thought it was Jazz for a minute.<\/p><\/div>\n

Jazz a couple of months before his passing – his similarity to Jazmine is startling.<\/p><\/div>\n

We all try to cope as best we can and I know it’s not always easy to open up and relive memories of loss. Especially for those of us who have losses that are recent, making it all the more difficult to bear. My beloved Zee was taken ill a few weeks back and I was paralyzed with fear his days with us were numbered. Thank God he pulled through, making the moments I share with him and all of my fur family all the more precious.<\/p>\n

Lastly, for any of you either looking for a personal way to help someone through the grieving process, or if you need help yourself with grieving, please consider reading Purr Prints of the Heart \u2013 A Cat\u2019s Tale of Life, Death, and Beyond.<\/em> While clinical, self-help books on grieving serve a great purpose, sometimes a true-life experience that someone can directly relate to is the best way to help a person process their feelings, so they don\u2019t feel so alone in the complex range of emotions they are experiencing. Purr Prints<\/em> is a warm, spirited, and poignant tale written in the meow voice of Mr. Jazz that has touched the hearts of those who have read it. Please visit our books page<\/a> for information on how to order the book, including options for personalization for those who would like the book autographed in tribute to a lost pet.<\/p>\n
