The Rainbow Bridge

This is a poem offering grief-support for when a beloved pet dies. Many years ago, when my beloved chihuahua 'Penny' died, a friend of mine gave me a poem to read, called 'The Rainbow Bridge'. It is with the deepest, dreamiest, dewy-eyed joy that I bring this magical piece to life for Insight Timer.

I like to believe all my loved ones are there, playing, two-legged & four.

Thank you Jac, I remember seeing this years ago, and filed it away for a special time that is right now. My beloved Frankie is preparing to leave and is in her last days after 14 wonderful years by my side. I find great comfort in your words and imagery. Thank you from my heart. 🙏💗🌈

Such a beautiful, reassuring, uplifting reminder. Thank you so much! 🙏💜🕊🐾🐶🐱🌈✝️

Listened to this after saying goodbye to my 13 year old cat today. It made me smile through my tears knowing that she’s in a happy place and that we’ll meet each other again.

Thank you. I've lost my oldest child-fur- and I feel so sad. This was really helpful.

I have this poem on an A3 paper printed out. I truly believe this is true. We will see our furbabies again, and never be separated. Amazing how these little ones have the ability to crawl so very deep into our hearts and every time we lose one and feel the heart wrenching pain of loss, promising ourselves that we will never let another in because of the intense pain, we always end up finding another... Or rather, another always ends up finding us, crawling deep into our hearts again, and again..... Thank you for sharing this. Although I know it almost by heart, it makes my face leak every single time. Love and light. 💕

Thank you💛🌈

Beautiful! Thank you. I’m grieving the loss of my little Abby-cat, who went to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. This was nice. Helped me release some tears. She was with me ten years. I’ll try to remember she’s over the Rainbow Bridge when I find myself expecting her to jump up on my bed, or snuggle right next to me in the bed, or rub my leg when I play guitar, or in the bathroom, or thoroughly enjoy my wire brushing her face and body...
But I feel quite empty without you, Abby. You’ve been with me through so many other losses. You helped me. You helped me. I love 💗 you!!!

So very beautiful

Wonderful recitation of a favorite happy and sad poem that brings the love of one’s loyal dog back and hopes for the future.

Thank you. My beloved Lily died today and this was a comfort.
