A Personal note... At
this season of joy and celebration, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to
everyone who has helped make this place a genuine source of healing for so many
hurting hearts. I thank all of you in this nebulous, yet very real, thing called
cyberspace who take the time to open your hearts to others who have also lost a
beloved pet.
A special thanks to my dear friends
who work so hard to make the Candle Ceremony available to all the online
services and the Chat Room active for those who need live support.
And to the many who find the holiday season full of painful
reminders, I send prayers for your healing and make this promise: When the time
is right, those memories will bring you smiles, not tears.
Love, Light and Healing. EdW

Candle Ceremony
(The Candle Service & list of
names.)
Translations:
On Monday evenings all across the globe we light candles
in memory of our pets. It is a very healing ritual with no adherence to any
religion or creed, just a simple lighting of candles to bring us all together.
The Candle Ceremony is not done on-line. Each of us lights our candles in
our own way, and privately, but since we share a common love and since most of
us do light them at the same time, we are joined in love and in spirit.
Candle lighting times are...
In USA: 10 PM Eastern (Blue column on
World Time Zone Map)
9 PM Central
8 PM Mountain
7 PM Pacific
6 PM Alaska
5 PM Hawaii
In
Europe:
Central Europe - 10:00 PM GMT
UK - 9:00 PM GMT
Australia

We also have online
lists of the pets we honor in the Candle Ceremony.
The Bridgelist for those pets
who have passed on to the Rainbow bridge and the Special Needs list for
those pets who are ill or have special physical needs.
You are invited
to add your pets to these
lists.
In addition to the Bridgelist, you may also request that your
special thoughts about your beloved pet be included in a Tribute.
