My dear friend, I am only 3 minutes into this video, and your vulnerability is admirable. Bane has been your baby for 10 years. So many different seasons of life over the last 10 years. Bane was a constant in the high moments and Bane was a constant in the low moments. You have suffered so much loss within the last year. I think you are a testament that you could be going through so many hard things but choose to look at it through a positive lense. Im so sorry for your and Brady's loss and I love you guys so much. Feel all the feelings and allow God to sit with you while you're feeling them.
I lost my Golden who lived to 18.5 years. She was with me longer than my daughter who graduated when she was 17 and moved out. It's been 15 years but it stays with you. I'm now struggling knowing I'll go through this again soon as my 17 year old Chihuahua has dementia. They are our ❤
Shawnaci, losing an animal is one of the worst heartbreaks. I've lost three in 20 years and it never gets easier. On top of this, you lost your father in less than a year. My heart breaks for you. Sending you hugs and good vibes.❤
The loss of Bane is heartbreaking. Please, you and Brady take the time to grieve a And remember, your sweet boy, he lives on in your hearts and that is so special! ❤ when he crossed that rainbow Bridge he left all his ill health and pain at the other end, and now gets to watch over you both ❤ sending huge hugs to you and Brady ❤
Crying with you at the end of this video. For Bane and for my good boy Max who went to heaven in 2020. Losing a pet is so unfair 💔 This video was a beautiful tribute to your love for Bane.
Awwww I’m so sorry Shawnaci. Bane was your baby. Feel all the feels. You’ve lost 2 important relationships in such a short period of time. Do whatever you need to do to help your heart ♥️ Love you bestie 💜
So sorry for your loss ! Sweet sweet Bane. That's your baby ❤❤❤ our pets are family. I've been through this pain three times. It's hard we appreciate you allowing us into your life. My condolences 🙏 to you and Brady soooo sorry. He had the best parents ever ❤ Your heart is beautiful. Thank you again for sharing with us beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ Much love from Texas. His fur prints will always be stamped on your heart. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing Bane with us; he will always be the furry boy who enjoyed nature, the sunshine, the walks around the house when you was recording and the best boy who picked good vacation books. Sending you virtual hugs
A dog is like your child and friend at the same time. They're like family and will always be remembered through fun memories. Always there for support without the judgement. I am sending you lots of love and peace Shawnaci.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend, Bane. You and your husband gave him the most beautiful life. I'm sure he was grateful. You always lavished him with so much love and found ways to allow him to experience things that brought him joy. We will miss him too....
There are no words that truly help during the loss of a soul you love, but I’m sending all the love and comfort your way. May Bane rest in peace, and hopefully his soul is running free in a beautiful field with my Bella, Ted, and Bowser.
OH, I'm so sorry about your dog. It isn't fair, and don't let anyone say he's just a dog. He's not just a dog to you, he's family. It's ok to mourn him.
I haven't finished the video yet but we brought someone to the house to put our sweet Bella down. She hated going to the vet so we wanted to make it more comfortable for her and it was a beautiful experience. It was so expensive but so worth it. She was so peaceful in my arms 😭. This video is bringing back all of the feels... For some, our dogs are our kids. I don't have kids and Bella was my baby. We loved her soooooo much and I had her since she was 8 weeks old and she made it to over 19. So I consider myself so blessed.... My heart goes out to you. I wish I would wrap you up in my arms and give you a huge hug. Love to you and Brady.
I’m sorry for your loss. Glad you were able to do that at home my mother did that for several of her dogs and it was peaceful. It is so had to let them go the hardest experience. Bless you.
Bane passed over into the rainbow bridge in our backyard too. He was laying on Brady’s chest while I cuddled his back. It was a peaceful experience for him and I’m so grateful for that 🤍🤍
This video made me cry! I have a yellow lab and she is turning 14 this year. I know our time is coming soon where we will be going through these same emotions and it just really resonated with me. I loved all of your beautiful pictures and all the outdoor time you spent together. ❤❤❤
My heart and thoughts go out to you and your hubby. Letting go of our fur babies is never easy. I had to make the difficult choice 3 years ago with my beloved dog Jessie before the tumor over took her and then lost our beloved cat Kit Kat 3 weeks later to a heart attack. They are forever in my heart just like Bane will be with you, You will feel him visit in your most wanted days and he will guard you from up above. They helped us heal and grow and he will forever be thankful for the great life you provided to him. Many Hugs from a Canadian follower and friend. Prayers for your healing heart. 💕💕🙏🙏
I wish I could give you the biggest hug. I just lost my soul dog not even 2 weeks ago so I feel your pain and am grieving along side you ❤ no words really help but someone told me the most beautiful thing, even though they are in our life for a short while..we are in their whole life and that is beautiful. We just have to take comfort in knowing we gave them the most beautiful life and they will always be with us ❤
My sincerest condolences to you and your husband. I am so sorry. ❤ I totally agree that books are like medicine. When I lost my son to a stillbirth, it was the one thing that helped me feel like I would be ok.
My heart just breaks for you, I know the pain you’re in and I’m so sorry. Bane was a gift from God to you all. And I know you will treasure all of the memories.
I am so sorry for your loss. I absolutely understand how you feel and what you are going through. I lost one of my pups in January and now his brother isn’t doing well, so I get it. I am devastated for you. Sending ❤❤ and 🫂🫂🫂. I will keep you and your husband in my prayers.
Oh my gosh I am soooo sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your s/o’s healing during this time 😢 thank you for sharing such a vulnerable moment in your life. We love you!!
Shawnaci, we love you and we love Bane. Please take some time for yourself. Love on Brady and yourself. We completely understand. Sending you love and hugs! ❤
I’m just crying 😭 😭 😭. I’m so sorry for your loss. He will always be with you and I hope that your last week are filled with the best memories and I hope that you can these messages and see all the love that Bane has.
I am so sorry for your loss. It was so nice seeing Bane in your videos. He had great parents. It’s not easy being vulnerable and I know this was not easy for you. Thanks for sharing this with us. By the way, I keep the book cover off. I don’t like leaving finger prints on it.
My heart goes out to you! ❤ Fur babies take up such a special place in our hearts and it is so hard when our time with them is over. We've lost three cats in the past 6 years, each with different ailments that took them away from us so quickly. I pray that the good memories will provide you comfort. 💕 Also, on the hardback cover question, I normally remove them but I took Expiration Dates to the beach with me and used the dust jacket to keep my place. It was nice not worrying about losing a bookmark plus the coverart was just so pretty I wanted to be able to stare at it. 😊
The fundamentals of grieving are the same for everyone but how a person chooses to embrace the feelings are up to them. Creating memories with Bane is a beautiful way to send him to "Rainbow Bridge," and also a testament of the family love shown to him every day. Bane was lucky to have such wonderful humans loving him.
Sending strength and love to you. Your vulnerability is inspiring and I hope you’re able to find comfort in books, your partner, and more small beauties in life. ❤
I can't stop crying. I'm so sorry for your pain and loss Shawnaci 💔💔 Bane was such a great pup! He was in most of your vlogs and it was so sweet watching him enjoy being outside with you while you talked, read and spend time with him. He definitely was a great companion and I can tell he loved you and Brady very much! We will miss him dearly. I will be praying for you and Brady through this time! Sending you guys so much love and prayers!!! 🙏💗🕊💕💐🦋💞🌿💜
Seeing you cry breaks my heart 😭 Bane was truly so amazing. You and Brady gave him such a beautiful life filled with so much love. He will be so missed
I'm grateful that you allowed others to see this video for us. I hope that it'll bring you a bit of comfort in any way as you and Brady are going through this grief. Spend as much time as you need and want during this time. My prayers for your family 🙏🙏🙏.
I’m so sorry Shawnaci. I’m praying over you and Brady so much. I cannot imagine what it must feel like to lose two important pieces of your family so close together. I want to echo Alex’s comment that says to invite God into your grief even if it’s just anger or disappointment and confusion. I love you even just from this side of the screen. Blessings to Bane in heaven and all sending you all my love!💕🙏🏽
Miss Shawnaci, my sincerest and deepest condolences extend to Brady and you. But please know like your dad, Bane knew how much you love him, will carry that love into Heaven, and protect you now and forever more. Book friend, let me implore you to take time for yourself, to process your grief. Affecting a continuous happy demeanor doesn't allow you to be human and can affect your mental health. Take care of you friend. While I enjoy the book recommendations, I watch more for your personality, and right now, I'm alright if you need a break. So please-please-please take some time for yourself.. Much love from Atlanta.
It’s so hard to lose a fur baby. I’m so deeply sorry for this heartbreaking goodbye. I had to say goodbye to my Claire bear (my photo on here to this day) back in 2018. I’ve surrounded myself with her photos, I have her ashes in a necklace I wear daily and in a ring I had made with flowers from my parents funeral as well. I feel so much comfort keeping her so close. I hope you and Brady find comfort in all your good memories and in one another. Thank you for sharing with us and being so vulnerable. Sending you all the love I can!
So sorry for your loss. My heart is breaking for you both and I can’t stop crying. Hugs and love to you both. I have had to go through this many times and it never gets any easier. Take care xx
I am so sorry for your loss 💝 it is so hard to lose your best friend , whose been such an important part of your life . Thank you for sharing this moment with us and just know that we all are with you during this time of grief . I am sending prayers for you during this difficult time in your life ❤
I am so sorry!! I have been through this a couple of times and it’s very hard. But wouldn’t trade it for the world. I totally believe dogs are angels! Take care!❤
I can't stop crying. I know losing your baby Bane is difficult but just know he is no longer in pain. You did what is best for him by providing comfort, support, and showing how much you love him. I'm so sorry for your loss😢.
We love you and Bane so much 🩷🩷🩷 he is so lucky to have you as a fur mama, i can assure you he was grateful everyday to have you. losing a fur baby is a hard pain because they’re your best friend, but Bane will always be with you 🫶🏼
I love you and wish that I could hug you so tight right now. This entire video had me in my feels. Just know that this type of pain I would not wish on anybody. I'm a cat person and had let one go a few years ago, also due to cancer and the way I cried was unrecognizable. Our "pets" are our children, we raise them, we nourish them, we grown with them, and so much more. I normally stay quiet in the comments but I need you to know you and Brady are not alone and every feeling, mood, and emotions that you have are valid. Thank you for being consistent here because you truly are a light that I enjoy to see. This was a tough thing for me to watch because I know how much Bane meant to you both and I'm sure many others ❤❤❤
I am so unbelievably sorry for your loss. You have had more to cope with in this past year than most. I have yet to lose one of my dogs but just thinking about it brings me to tears. You never need to justify your grief and pain. This is your child that you've helped raise and has provided endless emotional support for you. I am so sorry.
I literally cried all through your entire video! I never understood how much we could love our fur babies until I got my “forever puppy,” Brooklyn (we got her at 9 weeks and she’ll be 2 next month). She is not just a 🐶, she is family as Bane is to you and yours. We are only blessed with them for a short time, but their impact lasts forever! I can’t imagine what you and your husband are going through and my heart breaks for you both. I’m praying for you guys. We love you Bane! Rest peacefully buddy! 🐾
“Books to me are like medicine.” My exact sentiment! 💕 I’m so sorry you guys had to say goodbye to Bane. I love that you put this video together as a way to comfort yourself and have a beautiful sentimental video to look back on. 🙏🏽
Shawnaci, I pray for your strength and that you find so much joy in the memories of your father, and of Bane on the other side of your sorrow. They will always be with you and you with them. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing Bane with us. I have had my puppy for 2 years now. She is family, the baby of the family. It was not until I got her that I realize how much fur babies are really our babies. Thank you for sharing your process and showing us how much Bane was loved. God bless you and your husband abundantly. May God comfort you, give you peace and joy beyond understanding.
I stopped reading for years, I use to read a lot, one of the reasons I got back into reading late last year was after my senior dog passed away. It was just an escape, and insanely healing. You are STRONG! And thank you so much for sharing this vulnerable moment with us ❤
Shawnaci, I am so sorry about Bane. It’s so difficult to let go of a pet who has been an important part of your life. My dog that I had from 5th grade to my junior year of college had cancer. He started to internally bleed and we very quickly lost him. To this day, I still miss him and that was almost 8 years ago. But the pain does transform as time goes on and it won’t feel like this forever. Just remember to honor your feelings now so they don’t explode later. I want to thank you for being vulnerable! It’s so difficult to express negative emotions because you may not want to be judged or make anyone else upset. But you are helping so many people who may struggle with sharing their emotions, whether you feel that way or not. I’m glad books and this channel are a source of comfort for you. Life is unpredictable, and there are hard moments. There are also glorious and beautiful moments, and you capture them in every video you post 💜 take care of yourself
😢 This video made me do the ugly cry... I Can totally relate.. We lost our miniature schnauzer of 10 years named Iverson in 2016. This was the only dog my kids ever knew. I still miss him terribly. I just admire your vulnerability and being able to be so transparent with us that's why your channel is just more than books although I do love the books you're so authentic. That's what makes your channel so unique.
Sending you and Brady LOTS of hugs!!! You both will get through this! Felt this deeply my hubs and I feel the same about our dog Ruby, you are in our thoughts 💕😘
So sorry for your loss. I am so happy and grateful you have your husband. He feels so supportive. You are so strong and it gives me hope. I have been grieving some things and struggles ALOT lately and seeing ways to help to cope helps and seeing others pushing through hard things also helps. gives you the biggest hugs!! I love your content and also love what beautiful people you both are. It is a blessing you had bane for so long to give you all the love and memories and I know it is so hard to go through this. We all send love and good energy while you heal
Sending all the comfort and love during such a difficult time. Seeing Bane in your videos was always the best, and having lost a pet, I know how utterly heartbreaking this time is. We're all here for whatever you need! ♥
Shawnaci,my heart is aching as you share (knowing also that you had to watch it back as you edit and most likely cried all over again…) and being so transparent. Thank you for sharing all that you decide to post and for sharing your sweet boy with us in all your videos , including this one. Sending you the sweetest and peaceful vibes. Also, I admire you!
The way this video broke my heart 💔😭 I’m so sorry. I lost my heart dog, Nick 2 years ago this month and I’m not kidding you it was the hardest loss I’ve ever experienced. I cried nonstop for weeks on end. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 and he would not leave my side as I went through that. He always knew when I wasn’t feeling well and he would stay close. My heart goes out to you. 🫶🏼🥺
I’m so sorry. I know exactly what you are going through. I was there last year. I lost both of my Yorkie babies within 3 months of each other unexpectedly. I had them for 12 years. Will sure be thinking about you.
Such a tough time. I’m dreading the day when I’ll have to say goodbye to my rescued baby. You’ve exposed us to a valuable period and it’s horrible if people have mean words. The people here to support will stand out the most.
This hands down made me cry, seeing all the different difficult emotions you and Brady are going through breaks my heart, losing a pet is 100% the hardest things to ever experience, Bane was the sweetest little guy and I know he's grateful to have you and Brady and I hope you and Brady can take all the time you need, I know that all of your viewers and followers are here for you and Brady, all three of you are so so so strong, and losing my cat 2 years ago was the toughest loss / death I went through and you sharing how difficult it is and even sharing the little things like crying until you throat is so tight made me feel like the feelings of grief that I went through after losing several people and especially my cat made me feel like grief is valid, and your grief is so valid, take all the time you need and I hope everyone can respect your boundaries
I’m so sorry ❤️😪 I’ve had to do this two times myself and it never gets easier. You had me crying at the end of the video. I appreciate your vulnerability.
Losing a pet you had for years and made so many memories is like losing your own kid but he is probably suffering with having cancer and you tried to fight it with him. We had a dog with cancer when I was a kid/ young teen when we had to put him down. Just stay positive that he will no longer be suffering and you guys loved him so much! My heart is with you guys as you go through this process. You can never replace a dog but you can still love another one if you decide to. So many dogs in the shelters. Please take time away from videos of you need time to process things. We will all still be here regardless. Stay strong and positive. ❤
Shawnaci, you are so strong and courageous for showing us what your grief looks like! You are allowing us to see that you are looking through a positive lens, that’s such an amazing thing!! Allow God to take away some of the pain, He is always there with you. I’m sorry you and Brady lost Bane, he was your baby.
I had to stop the video and come back 😢 I am so sorry for your and Brady’s loss. My hurt hearts for you guys. And you are so right, ppl who don’t have a dog will never understand. They are our children, our family, our heart. I am sending you guys prayers for comfort and healing. Take care of each other 🙏🏾
My heart goes out to you and Brady. It's an undescribable feeling. My Ash has been gone for almost 4 months and I still have his food, meds, clothes and toys. New grief does trigger older grief. Saying a prayer for your comfort & peace.❤❤🙏🏾🐕🦺🌈
I’m so sorry for your loss shawnaci. Bane will forever be a part of your guys family. I lost my poodle max from cancer when I was 21. It sucks seeying them in so much pain but also cherishing those moments you have with them makes you so grateful to have them before there passing. Take all the time you need to heal ❤
So sorry for your lost. 😢 Thank you for sharing your story. I lost my beloved Q some years ago and I know exactly how you're feeling. I love the part when you said others would not understand if they do not have a dog. I remember being at work and every time I thought of the name or just thought of her I would just break out in tears at work and every everyone would be making smirky comments like it’s just a dog. That hurt me so much because she was more than just a dog.😭😭 I loved her so much. And still miss her very much. Her memories will be with me forever. ❤
I had to come back to this video because I wasn't ready to watch it when you posted it. Now here I am and I am crying anyway 😢 I am so so sorry you had to say goodbye to Bane. It is so painful. I would like to give you the biggest hug possible. ❤ this video broke my heart but Bane can rest in peace now and it is beautiful that he was loved soooo much.
What a sweet boy. It’s obvious how much he was loved ❤ y’all gave him such a great life. I know that doesn’t make it easier to say goodbye, I just lost my dog in January so I know the pain. But I hope you are brought comfort in all of the good memories you have with Bane. Rest in peace sweet Bane!
My heart hurts for you, I am a pretty new subscriber, but never the less I feel for you, I have been down this road a few times, and our furbabies are like our babies… my thoughts and prayers are with you 💔💔💔 Watching you with your Bane, I know that feeling trying to capture the memories and take it all in… 🥲
Awww love I just want to hug you through the screen. I can’t imagine the pain you are feeling. We have a dog (the longest dog we’ve ever had…almost 8 yrs) and couldn’t imagine our lives without her. Sending you lots of love to you❤
I'm so sorry for your loss! I just cried watching this I'm a huge dogs lover I have 2 of my own a chiweenie and a chow mixed and my chiweenie is 14 years old she is my first every baby that I ever own and I'm not ready for her to go and I understand how you feel I'm praying for you guys 🙏❤️
Sending so much love to you. We loved Bane as well and he will be missed. Giving you the most strength right now. Take all the time you need. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ condolences to you and your family ❤️🥹
I’m so sorry that you lost your dog. You are truly amazing for showing us your all your life and being so true to yourself. I lost my dog too so I understand how hard it is, thank you for all your amazing videos and letting us into your life ❤❤❤
My dear friend, I am only 3 minutes into this video, and your vulnerability is admirable. Bane has been your baby for 10 years. So many different seasons of life over the last 10 years.

I think you are a testament that you could be going through so many hard things but choose to look at it through a positive lense. Im so sorry for your and Brady's loss and I love you guys so much. Feel all the feelings and allow God to sit with you while you're feeling them.
Not you making me ugly cry again 😭😭 love you
I lost my Golden who lived to 18.5 years. She was with me longer than my daughter who graduated when she was 17 and moved out. It's been 15 years but it stays with you. I'm now struggling knowing I'll go through this again soon as my 17 year old Chihuahua has dementia. They are our ❤
Sending you so so much love ♥️♥️🫂🫂
Shawnaci, losing an animal is one of the worst heartbreaks. I've lost three in 20 years and it never gets easier. On top of this, you lost your father in less than a year. My heart breaks for you. Sending you hugs and good vibes.❤
❤️❤️
It has been such a tough few months. So grateful for this community and the safe space you’ve created here for me to share. 🫶🏽🤍
The loss of Bane is heartbreaking. Please, you and Brady take the time to grieve a
And remember, your sweet boy, he lives on in your hearts and that is so special! ❤ when he crossed that rainbow Bridge he left all his ill health and pain at the other end, and now gets to watch over you both ❤ sending huge hugs to you and Brady ❤
Crying with you at the end of this video. For Bane and for my good boy Max who went to heaven in 2020. Losing a pet is so unfair 💔 This video was a beautiful tribute to your love for Bane.

Love you right back 🤍🤍

A dog is like your child and friend at the same time. They're like family and will always be remembered through fun memories. Always there for support without the judgement. I am sending you lots of love and peace Shawnaci.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend, Bane. You and your husband gave him the most beautiful life. I'm sure he was grateful. You always lavished him with so much love and found ways to allow him to experience things that brought him joy. We will miss him too....
There are no words that truly help during the loss of a soul you love, but I’m sending all the love and comfort your way. May Bane rest in peace, and hopefully his soul is running free in a beautiful field with my Bella, Ted, and Bowser.
OH, I'm so sorry about your dog. It isn't fair, and don't let anyone say he's just a dog. He's not just a dog to you, he's family. It's ok to mourn him.
😭 Thank you for sharing Bane with us. So very sorry for your loss.
So sorry that you and your husband are going through this. Your pet can be as dear to you as a child can be.

I am so heartbroken with you. Sending prayers to you and your husband. Thank you for sharing Bane with us.
You are such a beautiful human being, with your empathy and compassion! I’m sending you healing and happiness to come soon love❤❤❤
What an amazing journey from 10 weeks to 10 years you 3 got to share together. If you are sad, it means you have known love which is a blessing 💓
So so true 🤍
Shawnaci, we love you and we love Bane. Please take some time for yourself. Love on Brady and yourself. We completely understand. Sending you love and hugs! ❤
I am so sorry for your loss
I’m just crying 😭 😭 😭. I’m so sorry for your loss. He will always be with you and I hope that your last week are filled with the best memories and I hope that you can these messages and see all the love that Bane has.
I am so sorry for your loss. It was so nice seeing Bane in your videos. He had great parents. It’s not easy being vulnerable and I know this was not easy for you. Thanks for sharing this with us. By the way, I keep the book cover off. I don’t like leaving finger prints on it.
My heart goes out to you! ❤ Fur babies take up such a special place in our hearts and it is so hard when our time with them is over. We've lost three cats in the past 6 years, each with different ailments that took them away from us so quickly. I pray that the good memories will provide you comfort. 💕 Also, on the hardback cover question, I normally remove them but I took Expiration Dates to the beach with me and used the dust jacket to keep my place. It was nice not worrying about losing a bookmark plus the coverart was just so pretty I wanted to be able to stare at it. 😊
How lucky he was to be loved by you guys. My heart breaks for you both
The fundamentals of grieving are the same for everyone but how a person chooses to embrace the feelings are up to them. Creating memories with Bane is a beautiful way to send him to "Rainbow Bridge," and also a testament of the family love shown to him every day. Bane was lucky to have such wonderful humans loving him.
Sending strength and love to you. Your vulnerability is inspiring and I hope you’re able to find comfort in books, your partner, and more small beauties in life. ❤
I hope so too 🤍🤍
I can't stop crying. I'm so sorry for your pain and loss Shawnaci 💔💔 Bane was such a great pup! He was in most of your vlogs and it was so sweet watching him enjoy being outside with you while you talked, read and spend time with him. He definitely was a great companion and I can tell he loved you and Brady very much! We will miss him dearly. I will be praying for you and Brady through this time! Sending you guys so much love and prayers!!! 🙏💗🕊💕💐🦋💞🌿💜
Seeing you cry breaks my heart 😭 Bane was truly so amazing. You and Brady gave him such a beautiful life filled with so much love. He will be so missed
I'm grateful that you allowed others to see this video for us. I hope that it'll bring you a bit of comfort in any way as you and Brady are going through this grief. Spend as much time as you need and want during this time. My prayers for your family 🙏🙏🙏.
I’m so sorry Shawnaci. I’m praying over you and Brady so much. I cannot imagine what it must feel like to lose two important pieces of your family so close together. I want to echo Alex’s comment that says to invite God into your grief even if it’s just anger or disappointment and confusion. I love you even just from this side of the screen. Blessings to Bane in heaven and all sending you all my love!💕🙏🏽
We love you! Thanks so much for being a piece of sunshine even when we may be going through a tough time. I hope we can be that for you. 🥹❤️
Miss Shawnaci, my sincerest and deepest condolences extend to Brady and you. But please know like your dad, Bane knew how much you love him, will carry that love into Heaven, and protect you now and forever more. Book friend, let me implore you to take time for yourself, to process your grief. Affecting a continuous happy demeanor doesn't allow you to be human and can affect your mental health. Take care of you friend. While I enjoy the book recommendations, I watch more for your personality, and right now, I'm alright if you need a break. So please-please-please take some time for yourself.. Much love from Atlanta.
It’s so hard to lose a fur baby. I’m so deeply sorry for this heartbreaking goodbye. I had to say goodbye to my Claire bear (my photo on here to this day) back in 2018. I’ve surrounded myself with her photos, I have her ashes in a necklace I wear daily and in a ring I had made with flowers from my parents funeral as well. I feel so much comfort keeping her so close. I hope you and Brady find comfort in all your good memories and in one another. Thank you for sharing with us and being so vulnerable. Sending you all the love I can!
So sorry for your loss. My heart is breaking for you both and I can’t stop crying. Hugs and love to you both. I have had to go through this many times and it never gets any easier. Take care xx
I am so sorry for your loss 💝 it is so hard to lose your best friend , whose been such an important part of your life . Thank you for sharing this moment with us and just know that we all are with you during this time of grief . I am sending prayers for you during this difficult time in your life ❤
I am so sorry!! I have been through this a couple of times and it’s very hard. But wouldn’t trade it for the world. I totally believe dogs are angels! Take care!❤
I can't stop crying. I know losing your baby Bane is difficult but just know he is no longer in pain. You did what is best for him by providing comfort, support, and showing how much you love him. I'm so sorry for your loss😢.
We love you and Bane so much 🩷🩷🩷 he is so lucky to have you as a fur mama, i can assure you he was grateful everyday to have you. losing a fur baby is a hard pain because they’re your best friend, but Bane will always be with you 🫶🏼
I’m so sorry for your loss. I felt like I knew Bane. He was such a sweet dog. 🙏🏽
I love hard back books the best. 🤎
I love you and wish that I could hug you so tight right now. This entire video had me in my feels. Just know that this type of pain I would not wish on anybody. I'm a cat person and had let one go a few years ago, also due to cancer and the way I cried was unrecognizable. Our "pets" are our children, we raise them, we nourish them, we grown with them, and so much more. I normally stay quiet in the comments but I need you to know you and Brady are not alone and every feeling, mood, and emotions that you have are valid. Thank you for being consistent here because you truly are a light that I enjoy to see. This was a tough thing for me to watch because I know how much Bane meant to you both and I'm sure many others ❤❤❤
Aww so sorry love. Praying for and Brady. Bane is so loved
I am so unbelievably sorry for your loss. You have had more to cope with in this past year than most. I have yet to lose one of my dogs but just thinking about it brings me to tears. You never need to justify your grief and pain. This is your child that you've helped raise and has provided endless emotional support for you. I am so sorry.
Sending you and Brady so so so much love during this hard time. ❤
Thank you 🤍🤍
What a beautiful tribute for your beautiful dog. He was a lucky boy. I barely got through that video. God bless you both with peace and comfort❤
I literally cried all through your entire video! I never understood how much we could love our fur babies until I got my “forever puppy,” Brooklyn (we got her at 9 weeks and she’ll be 2 next month). She is not just a 🐶, she is family as Bane is to you and yours. We are only blessed with them for a short time, but their impact lasts forever! I can’t imagine what you and your husband are going through and my heart breaks for you both. I’m praying for you guys. We love you Bane! Rest peacefully buddy! 🐾
“Books to me are like medicine.” My exact sentiment! 💕 I’m so sorry you guys had to say goodbye to Bane. I love that you put this video together as a way to comfort yourself and have a beautiful sentimental video to look back on. 🙏🏽
😭😭Ugh not me crying at the end. Sending love and hugs 🙏🏽🫶🏽
Shawnaci, I pray for your strength and that you find so much joy in the memories of your father, and of Bane on the other side of your sorrow. They will always be with you and you with them. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing Bane with us. I have had my puppy for 2 years now. She is family, the baby of the family. It was not until I got her that I realize how much fur babies are really our babies. Thank you for sharing your process and showing us how much Bane was loved. God bless you and your husband abundantly. May God comfort you, give you peace and joy beyond understanding.
I stopped reading for years, I use to read a lot, one of the reasons I got back into reading late last year was after my senior dog passed away. It was just an escape, and insanely healing. You are STRONG! And thank you so much for sharing this vulnerable moment with us ❤
Shawnaci, I am so sorry about Bane. It’s so difficult to let go of a pet who has been an important part of your life. My dog that I had from 5th grade to my junior year of college had cancer. He started to internally bleed and we very quickly lost him. To this day, I still miss him and that was almost 8 years ago. But the pain does transform as time goes on and it won’t feel like this forever. Just remember to honor your feelings now so they don’t explode later.
I want to thank you for being vulnerable! It’s so difficult to express negative emotions because you may not want to be judged or make anyone else upset. But you are helping so many people who may struggle with sharing their emotions, whether you feel that way or not. I’m glad books and this channel are a source of comfort for you. Life is unpredictable, and there are hard moments. There are also glorious and beautiful moments, and you capture them in every video you post 💜 take care of yourself
😢 This video made me do the ugly cry... I Can totally relate.. We lost our miniature schnauzer of 10 years named Iverson in 2016. This was the only dog my kids ever knew. I still miss him terribly. I just admire your vulnerability and being able to be so transparent with us that's why your channel is just more than books although I do love the books you're so authentic. That's what makes your channel so unique.
Wow the montage at the end has me sobbing, what a beautiful life you gave him ❤
Sending you and Brady LOTS of hugs!!! You both will get through this! Felt this deeply my hubs and I feel the same about our dog Ruby, you are in our thoughts 💕😘
Thank you so much
Sending you so much love ❤ I’m grieving the loss of my dog as well. There are no words right now but know you’re not alone.
So sorry for your loss. I am so happy and grateful you have your husband. He feels so supportive. You are so strong and it gives me hope. I have been grieving some things and struggles ALOT lately and seeing ways to help to cope helps and seeing others pushing through hard things also helps. gives you the biggest hugs!! I love your content and also love what beautiful people you both are. It is a blessing you had bane for so long to give you all the love and memories and I know it is so hard to go through this. We all send love and good energy while you heal
I'm sorry for your loss, there's nothing worst than losing someone you love. He's okay now, and it's loving you in heaven 🌿
💙💙💙 Bane so beautiful, your big undeniable presence. I will miss you 🙏🏾
Sending positive healing and comforting prayers ❤
Sending all the comfort and love during such a difficult time. Seeing Bane in your videos was always the best, and having lost a pet, I know how utterly heartbreaking this time is. We're all here for whatever you need! ♥
Thank you so much
Pet grief is so challenging, sending you and your husband love and prayers ❤
Thank you so much
I'm so sorry about Bane. ❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😢
Shawnaci,my heart is aching as you share (knowing also that you had to watch it back as you edit and most likely cried all over again…) and being so transparent. Thank you for sharing all that you decide to post and for sharing your sweet boy with us in all your videos , including this one. Sending you the sweetest and peaceful vibes. Also, I admire you!
The way this video broke my heart 💔😭 I’m so sorry. I lost my heart dog, Nick 2 years ago this month and I’m not kidding you it was the hardest loss I’ve ever experienced. I cried nonstop for weeks on end. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 and he would not leave my side as I went through that. He always knew when I wasn’t feeling well and he would stay close. My heart goes out to you. 🫶🏼🥺
I’m so sorry. I know exactly what you are going through. I was there last year. I lost both of my Yorkie babies within 3 months of each other unexpectedly. I had them for 12 years. Will sure be thinking about you.
Such a tough time. I’m dreading the day when I’ll have to say goodbye to my rescued baby. You’ve exposed us to a valuable period and it’s horrible if people have mean words. The people here to support will stand out the most.
Crying over here as well. 😢😢😢 I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤❤❤
This hands down made me cry, seeing all the different difficult emotions you and Brady are going through breaks my heart, losing a pet is 100% the hardest things to ever experience, Bane was the sweetest little guy and I know he's grateful to have you and Brady and I hope you and Brady can take all the time you need, I know that all of your viewers and followers are here for you and Brady, all three of you are so so so strong, and losing my cat 2 years ago was the toughest loss / death I went through and you sharing how difficult it is and even sharing the little things like crying until you throat is so tight made me feel like the feelings of grief that I went through after losing several people and especially my cat made me feel like grief is valid, and your grief is so valid, take all the time you need and I hope everyone can respect your boundaries
I’m so sorry ❤️😪 I’ve had to do this two times myself and it never gets easier. You had me crying at the end of the video. I appreciate your vulnerability.
Losing a pet you had for years and made so many memories is like losing your own kid but he is probably suffering with having cancer and you tried to fight it with him. We had a dog with cancer when I was a kid/ young teen when we had to put him down. Just stay positive that he will no longer be suffering and you guys loved him so much! My heart is with you guys as you go through this process. You can never replace a dog but you can still love another one if you decide to. So many dogs in the shelters. Please take time away from videos of you need time to process things. We will all still be here regardless. Stay strong and positive. ❤
Shawnaci, you are so strong and courageous for showing us what your grief looks like! You are allowing us to see that you are looking through a positive lens, that’s such an amazing thing!! Allow God to take away some of the pain, He is always there with you. I’m sorry you and Brady lost Bane, he was your baby.
I had to stop the video and come back 😢 I am so sorry for your and Brady’s loss. My hurt hearts for you guys. And you are so right, ppl who don’t have a dog will never understand. They are our children, our family, our heart. I am sending you guys prayers for comfort and healing. Take care of each other 🙏🏾
sending you so much light and love!! deepest condolences for your baby boy🤍
I’m so sorry to hear about Bane. My thoughts, hugs and prayers for you and Brady.
This was so beautiful. Thank you sincerely for sharing your life and sweet Bane with us. ❤
You are so welcome
My heart goes out to you and Brady. It's an undescribable feeling. My Ash has been gone for almost 4 months and I still have his food, meds, clothes and toys. New grief does trigger older grief. Saying a prayer for your comfort & peace.❤❤🙏🏾🐕🦺🌈
I’m so sorry for your loss shawnaci. Bane will forever be a part of your guys family. I lost my poodle max from cancer when I was 21. It sucks seeying them in so much pain but also cherishing those moments you have with them makes you so grateful to have them before there passing. Take all the time you need to heal ❤
So sorry for your lost. 😢 Thank you for sharing your story. I lost my beloved Q some years ago and I know exactly how you're feeling. I love the part when you said others would not understand if they do not have a dog. I remember being at work and every time I thought of the name or just thought of her I would just break out in tears at work and every everyone would be making smirky comments like it’s just a dog. That hurt me so much because she was more than just a dog.😭😭 I loved her so much. And still miss her very much. Her memories will be with me forever. ❤
I had to come back to this video because I wasn't ready to watch it when you posted it. Now here I am and I am crying anyway 😢 I am so so sorry you had to say goodbye to Bane. It is so painful. I would like to give you the biggest hug possible. ❤ this video broke my heart but Bane can rest in peace now and it is beautiful that he was loved soooo much.
What a sweet boy. It’s obvious how much he was loved ❤ y’all gave him such a great life. I know that doesn’t make it easier to say goodbye, I just lost my dog in January so I know the pain. But I hope you are brought comfort in all of the good memories you have with Bane. Rest in peace sweet Bane!
My heart hurts for you, I am a pretty new subscriber, but never the less I feel for you, I have been down this road a few times, and our furbabies are like our babies… my thoughts and prayers are with you 💔💔💔
Watching you with your Bane, I know that feeling trying to capture the memories and take it all in… 🥲
Thank you so much for your prayers 🤍🤍
Awww love I just want to hug you through the screen. I can’t imagine the pain you are feeling. We have a dog (the longest dog we’ve ever had…almost 8 yrs) and couldn’t imagine our lives without her. Sending you lots of love to you❤
Awww I’m so sorry Shawnaci about Bane take all the time you need prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm so sorry for your loss! I just cried watching this I'm a huge dogs lover I have 2 of my own a chiweenie and a chow mixed and my chiweenie is 14 years old she is my first every baby that I ever own and I'm not ready for her to go and I understand how you feel I'm praying for you guys 🙏❤️
Sending so much love to you. We loved Bane as well and he will be missed. Giving you the most strength right now. Take all the time you need. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ condolences to you and your family ❤️🥹
I’m so sorry that you lost your dog. You are truly amazing for showing us your all your life and being so true to yourself. I lost my dog too so I understand how hard it is, thank you for all your amazing videos and letting us into your life ❤❤❤
