Athena Bear 🐻🪽🐾 10.11.20 - 07.15.2026

Around 6:30pm today we had to say our final goodbye to my baby athena bear.

My sweet girl. My beautiful big belly bear. I have no words to describe the bear sized hole that has been left in my heart, but I will try…

Since the day I laid my eyes on my baby bear I knew she was everything my heart needed and then some. I have never been so in love with anyone or anything in my entire life. My whole world revolved around being the best mom I could possibly be for you. My heart sang songs for you. My love knew no bounds because all I ever cared about was seeing you happy, healthy, and loved unconditionally.

Every trip, every experience, every kiss, every cuddle, every bite, every laugh, every car ride with the wind in your whiskers, every starbucks date, every holiday, every birthday, every gotcha day - every single second I spent with you was another reason I loved you more. I will hold every single moment so close to me so that maybe one day I am lucky enough to remember them and smile instead of cry.

I hope that heaven treats you with kindness, grace, and a type of peace that this world could not give you. May the absence of love never be felt for I will still love you with every ounce of my being down here until my last breath. You gave me the best 5 1/2 years a broken girl could ever ask for. My baby. I have no words other than I am heartbroken beyond measure. I love you and I will miss you until the day that I die. by @ferretathena

one of the best gifts we gave to athena bear before we said goodbye was the gift of a sweet treat (pup cup) 🍬🍦

no audios because if you listen close enough beyond us sobbing, you can hear her little munching noises because she was enjoying it so much 🥺❤️‍🩹

bear, i miss you soo much. 🩷 by @ferretathena

3 months without you today 💔
it has felt like an eternity.
i wish you could just come home. our home & hearts are empty, and nothing is quite the same without you here. 🙁

i know heaven is kind, pain free, and everything you deserve - but selfishly, mommy & daddy just want one more moment in time with you. i wish i could freeze time to just savor a few more seconds with you. i hope you feel our love every single day from all over. we miss you more than we have words for.

i love you so much, Athena Bear 🐻🥺🐾🪽🩷 by @ferretathena

Happy heavenly 6th Birthday, Athena Bear 🪽🌈🥳🎊🎈🩷

We all miss you soo much. I wish I had the words to say how I feel, but they’re jumbled between wanting to celebrate you so much today, and not knowing how to because you’re supposed to be here with us to celebrate. 🥺

My little libra girl. My beautiful sable baby. Today you would be 6 years old - that’s 6 years that I have gotten to love you unconditionally. 6 years of being the most beautiful bear from the tip of your ears alllll the way to the tip of your tail. 6 years of loving mr ducky and being an army leader. 6 years of loving music like cinnamon girl & rock lobster. 6 years of sleeping on your comfort bear in your tunnel of love. 6 years of all the beautiful, wonderful, silly little things that make you ✨you✨

Selfishly, Isak and I want you down here with us so we can celebrate you and hold you, sing for you, give you our gifts, and do all the things we do every year because we love you SO MUCH. But we know that heaven probably has super special plans for you today, and will celebrate you with the highest honor. 🥹🎉

I hope you feel our love alllll the way from down here - because we are still going to sing for you, we are still going to celebrate you, and we are going to make sure you feel our love so hard even if we can’t see you to celebrate.

I love you and I miss you so so much Athena. Happy Birthday my beautiful baby. 🎈🪽 by @ferretathena

Athena weena bear… 🐻🤍🥺

Recently I have been stumbling over my own thoughts because of how much I have been thinking of you. God knows I won’t ever be able to have the words to describe how much I miss you.

My heart carries the weight of your loss every single day.. I pray for you every single day - I continue to wish for the most beautiful, most wonderful things up in heaven for you. I hope you are reminded of mommy and daddy just as we are so deeply and infinitely reminded of you.

We will never have the words to describe the insurmountable loss we feel without you in our home that we built with you here. But that loss will never stop us from loving the absolute crap out of you because you’re still OUR BABY BEAR. We miss you, and we love you sooo much. I can’t wait to see you again. 🤍 by @ferretathena

Thank you for visiting me in my dreams last night, Athena Bear. 🐻🤍🕊️🪽💭

I had the cutest dream last night, she must’ve known she was heavy in my mind yesterday. We were at the mall at night. Her and I were running through the parking lot in the rain - she was so excited. So spunky. She pineconed & hopped & dooked. For a moment I was worried that she was running in the street, but then I remembered that nothing could hurt her there so I played with her.
We ran around in the rain and I caught her. I got to hold her, kiss her, & hold my soggy little bun.
We got in the car, and she was so excited because even in my dream she knew she’d get to see her dad. We were preparing for a sleepover. One of the happiest days we had was when we all had our first sleepover at his house. 🤍🥺
I miss you beautiful girl. 🩷 by @ferretathena

today is grief awareness day ❤️‍🩹🌈🥺 what a gift it is to not know that today exists.. to those who honor their loved ones with me, i send you extra love. my heart weighs heavy with every day that passes because each day i carry the weight of living without you physically here with me. my heart hurts for those of us who grieve together - all kinds of loss. the bond we are able to make between animals is a gift that i will spend the rest of my life cherishing because i got a glimpse of that perfection in my athena bear. i miss you and love you so much every single day. i will carry the weight of grief every day for the rest of my life because it means that for 5 1/2 years I got to love you more than life itself. I will live for you, and celebrate you, and continue to make you a part of my life every way that I know how to. 🩷🌈🕊️ by @ferretathena
