The loss of a pet is incredibly painful. Pets are daily companions, who we care for, get affection from, and share our homes with. Often our routines are built around their routines. Saying goodbye is incredibly hard, especially when we have to make the choice to let them go.
Twitter user @LLedgeway shared a story about how her dog passed away on June 20th, just before they planned to bring her to the vets to have her put down. It was devastating, but later that day while she was crying about her loss, she looked up at the sky and saw a cloud formation that reminded her of her late pup:
my dog passed away in my dads arms this morning seconds before setting off to the vets. later in the day we went out to clear our head and i cried to my boyfriend in the seat she died in, just begging for a sign that she’s okay. this is what I was blessed with🥺🐾 pic.twitter.com/4KVPZnDYDp

It’s a touching story, but her tweet started to really go viral when more and more people chimed in to say they had similar experiences after the loss of their pets. Many of them saw a sign from their deceased pet in the sky, just like the original tweet described.
Others found signs in their homes and around them or even in dreams that felt like final goodbye from the pets they’d loved so much. It’s a beautiful idea and comforting in a moment of grief. And after reading this many stories, I’m starting to really believe it:

I was never one for believing in signs but my dog developed cataracts the day before she went to sleep, completely blind according to vets, she came in the room and this was the last photo I got with her. Blind my arse ❤️ RIP to our pooches pic.twitter.com/0azpAMmmit
