Candle Ceremony 2025 ~ In Loving Memory

[MimzMum]

Hello friends.
I usually start this thread a bit earlier and this year I waited to see if someone else might want to. As there appears to be no post in Rainbow Bridge so far, I'll begin.

On these pages please leave memories of any beloved friend or family member, human or animal, and a tribute, photos, words or candles. Let us all remember the joy it was to love them here on Earth with you.

For myself, never have I been as devastated as losing Ebon this year. My silly old bear...I continue to miss you and send you love every moment of every day. C misses you too, more than I ever expected she would...I don't think she realized how much it would affect her.



I know you're in Paradise with Jenna, Sully and all our other family members. I will see you all once again, someday.

I also found, quite by accident, that my birth mom passed away back.in October of this year. We did not have a good relationship and weren't on speaking terms. However there's nothing that pulls you up hard as the loss of a mom, no matter how you get on. It's given me great pause.
I hope she is free from pain and age and it's detriment. She had a hard life and it showed. Sleep peacefully, mom.

Sending you the biggest hug MM, and to anyone else who has had losses this year, or from previous years xx
I am remembering my beautiful boy, George, who I had to let go in April, nothing could have prepared me for the pain and loss, but I truly believe he had a paw in bringing Flora to me, who has brought me so much joy .

My George

I also think the pain of grieving never goes away, but that we adapt more and become more accepting to the feeling as time goes on.

Sending hugs to those who need them. This festive season is actually not festive for many and this can can be one of the hardest times of the year

I lost my beautiful hen, Rusty, in November. She has left such a large hole in my heart. No, she definitely wasn't just a hen. She was special.

Sending lots of love to everyone.

Remembering our beautiful Phillip, who we lost in April. It certainly felt strange this Christmas, as it was the first year we've not had to worry about the tree or lights being nibbled!

A hug for everyone. I'm sorry this new year couldn't be enjoyed by all

I'm sending everyone who would like one a big hug. Those are lovely photos of Ebon, George, and Phillip

I'd like to add my three sweeties, Sophie, Casper, and Saar:



Thank you for a life full of the cutest head binkies, Sophie, and for teaching me it's okay and important to let people know your boundaries. We went through a lot of life together, and you were the most wonderful friend through it all



Thank you for being the best little buddy I could have ever wished for, Casper, and for trusting me with your sensitive heart. Your happy zoomies and dances were so worth the many, many books you disfigured over the years



Saar, I wish I could've known you for longer, but you brought such joy to my and Casper's lives, and I hope I did the same for you. Thank you for being part of our little family and the most trusty pair of secateurs

This is my Edie, the best dog I ever knew. She cared for us all, people and animals, and she died from inoperable cancer on 8th December . I have tears in my eyes and can write no more.

Big hugs to all who lost their beautiful friends this year, you can feel so much love from each of your posts

Edie sounds like she was a wonderful soul, redmal I'm sending you a big hug, too, if you would like one.

Remembering my Beautiful Sunnee Sunshine who we had to say goodbye to on 30/12/25. She was 18yrs & 9 months and had ongoing kidney issues. But she still managed to boss us around and be the prima donna that she always was right up until the end. She leaves such a big hole in our family, and Milo (who she always just tolerated) is missing her terribly

 

[Pets mum]

So sorry bunniemum, she was a beautiful kitty, that's a really good age too. Sweet dreams little girl x

 

[bunniemum]

Thank you Pets mum x

 

[MimzMum]

Oh what a lovely kitty. I'm so sorry she has gone. I'm particularly fond of Siamese. Sending hugs to you. xxxx

For everyone who has posted, I'm sending hugs and comforting vibes for your losses. xxxx

 

[bunniemum]

Thank you MimzMum, and thank you for starting this lovely thread.

Also sending love and hugs to those who have posted, and to those who have lost but feel unable to post at this time. xx

We lost Daisy in April 25, last of the downstairs house bunnies, last of the former outdoor trio. Best friend to Prince, one of our cats.
Very weird not having to worry about light cables for the Christmas tree, no more hearing the bells that were placed for her to play with jingling
