Pet loss and grief resources

I know what it's like to feel like a part of your soul has gone at the same time as the loss of your beloved pet.

So that no one goes through this process alone, I have created the first Romanian Facebook group "Dincolo de curcubeu" (Beyond the Rainbow) for pet loss. Here you can find an understanding community, a group with empathy and kindness, a space for animal stories, memories, tears and healing.

JOIN THE GROUP

Grief after losing a pet can often leave us feeling confused or helpless. Because the right information can sometimes restore some of our strength or confidence, we have created a series of materials:

Why

"Dincolo de curcubeu - Beyond the rainbow"?

The group's name is inspired by a story that has brought comfort to millions. It was written out of longing for a beloved furry friend. "Rainbow Bridge" came to life in 1959, when a 19-year-old Scottish girl, Edna Clyne-Rekhy, heartbroken by the loss of her dog, Major, penned a few lines that have brought hope and light to many grieving souls.

Below I have translated the original text into Romanian:

"Over there, just before the sky, is a place called the Rainbow Bridge."
When an animal dies, leaving behind a loved one, its soul goes there.
There are fields and hills where our friends can run and play together.
There is plenty of light, clean water and plenty of food, and their days are clear and calm.

All who were sick or old become healthy and full of strength again,
all those who have been wounded become whole and strong,
as we know them from our memories.
They are happy, but they are bound by a longing... each has left behind someone they love dearly.

They run and play together, but one day comes when one of them stops.
He looks into the distance, his eyes shining, his body trembling with emotion.
Suddenly he starts running, faster and faster, across the grass, until
you and your beloved friend meet again.
You hug each other in a hug that never lets go.
Tears and joy mix, and his gaze, in which you had so much trust,
it tells you that it never truly left your heart.

Then, together, cross the Rainbow Bridge.”
—Edna Clyne-Rekhy, 1959
