Subject: Rainbow Bridge

Here is the story of the Rainbow

Bridge. It sure helped me.

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially

close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our

special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food,

water, and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor;

those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again just as we

remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy

and content, except for one small thing; they miss someone very special to

them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day

comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are

intent; his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group,

flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you

cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses

rain upon your face, your hands again caress the beloved pet, so long gone from

your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow

Bridge together.

For a Dead Kitten by Sara Hay

What was warm is strangely cold When dissolved the little breath? How could

this small body hold So immense a thing as death?

Here is a little something that may give you some comfort.

I'm Free

Don't grieve for me; for now I'm free, I'm following the path God layed for me,

I took his lead when I heard Him call, I turned back and then left it all,

I could not stay another day, To purr, to love, to work, or play, Events

uncompleted must stay that way, I'm found at peace at the close of the day.

If my parting left a void, then fill it with remembered joy, A friendship shared,

a purr, a kiss, Oh yes, these things I, too, will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My

life's been full, I savored much: Good friends, good times, a loved one's

touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief,

Lift up your heart and share with me; God wanted me now, he set me free.

I know every time I read it, it makes me

cry!

There is some absolutely beautiful poetry

online for people getting over the loss of a pet. I think it is more beautiful

than some poems for people. Probably because animals are so

true to themselves, and intimately tied to nature. People sometimes lose

sight of the fact that we are all tied to nature, not separate from it.

When I went through my tragedy of losing

my wonderful cat, no amount of effort or money could save him. It made me

realize that someday something would befall me that I could not defeat. After I

adjusted to this, I developed AIH. What strange timing! I can better accept

what life has in store for me, that if it is nature’s way then I must go

along with it and not be in denial or feel that because I am human that things

like this shouldn’t happen. I threw away my superior attitude! Now I

enjoy each day like it is a gift, even tho I am doing

well, I am not going to take anything for granted anymore.

Thanks ----- that is beautiful. It made me cry

and then I sneezed and pressed a button that

zapped an

empty e-mail.

There have been so many precious animals in my

life --

I hope they are all happy together.

The SUN IS SHINING ---- for days it has been

just

rain,hail and galeforce winds. It's the wind

that

drives me silly ----- it is just SO noisy all the

time.

I would be terrified if I lived where tornados and

hurricanes

happened! If I had that much energy

life would be a whirl!!!????

Hi ,

This is some good advice you have here. About not being superier and living one day at a time. I have a hard time dealing with the disease I have in my liver and I find myself becoming very bitter. I don't like to feel this way. Sometimes I get to feeling what did I do to deserve this? My life has never been an easy road and now that I am older, I am going to have something so horrible to deal with.. Living one day at a time can surely put things in perspective for me.. I truly hope so, for there is not one thing I can do, except take care of myself the best I can and leave the rest up to our Creator.. Hope this doesnt offend anyone. I am not trying to start a religious discussion of any sort.

Hope you and everyone has a nice evening and a very nice Sunday.

Take care,

Lyn in Ark.

Hi ,

I have polycystic liver disease, not AIH. My liver has a defect where it forms liquid filled cysts in it..I havent been told much about this as I dont think much is known. .It has been estimated that no more than 5% of the population have these cysts so badly they have symptoms. Also, one or two cysts in the liver and kidneys is not uncommon. I just had a very large one deroofed in November., that is part of the top was surgically removed and the liquid drained. I had around a quart of fluid in it and another cyst .. But it is coming back. I can feel it. It hasnt been six months.. I was told it could, and possibly would. There is no medicine for it. Severe polycystic liver can be helped by a liver resection , but it is not done much, is risky and then some have to have transplants.From the looks of the cat scan I have too many cysts to do a resection. So, I have been very depressed lately, not looking forward to getting an ultrasound. I will probably get it this next week. So, about you? Are you taking the Prednisone and Imuran ? It is so good to hear your doctor says you will be fine. That is very encouraging. I hope you keep feeling well. Thanks for your reply and enjoy the rest of your Sunday and hope next week is good for you also. Best wishes,

Lyn in Ark.

Dear Lyn,

I hope you don’t have to deal with anything horrible down the road. Do you have AIH too? I don’t really know what will happen to me either. Did the doctors tell you that? I hope you will be OK, other than having this illness, generally I feel well now, but I was just diagnosed three months ago. My doctor says that I will be fine. I hope so.

How are you today?

I know many of you are familiar with this already, but for those of

you who aren't, I think it is a lovely, comforting piece.

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,

that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they

can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm

and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and

vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,

just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they

each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly

stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His

eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying

over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally

meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.

The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the

beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your

pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

The Rainbow Bridge Meditation is the controlled vibrations

of the many states of consciousness of the Human to create a

continuum of awareness from the Outer to the Inner States of

Consciousness; from the Inner States of Consciousness to the

Higher States of Consciousness to bring you to a Super Conscious

Awareness of the Individual Self merging with God in your Body,

Mind and Spirit.

realizes in Meditation as One Visualizes them and feels them

directly. The following are some of the Powers of the colors:

the position of number 6 and 7 as this is the order that occurs

naturally.

The Healing Rainbow Bridge of Light Colors are: Rose Red,

Fire Orange, Sunshine Yellow, Emerald Green, Summer Day Sky Blue,

Indigo (Color of the Midnight sky, a Deep, Deep Purple), Ultra-Violet,

Golden and Pure White Light.

These are just some of the meanings of the colors, there

is much, much more. Should you be interested in learning more

about the Higher States of Awareness and the Esoteric meanings

to situations and things, please inquire about Astral Physics

Courses by contacting us at the address that appears at the beginning

of this book.

You can also contact your local Astral Physics Light Center

or The Church of Revelation. We will be glad to supply you with

more information.

Meditate on the Rainbow Bridge by visualizing the colors

until you perceive the White Light. You than you see yourself

in a perfect state of Beingness, wholeness and Oneness then reverse

the process coming back through the Rainbow Bridge until you

are body conscious.
