Losing someone we love may very well be one of the hardest things many of us have to go through. We’re only given a short amount of time on Earth and in that time, we’ve all come to know and love someone that has or will pass away – it’s inevitable.
The lesson that we can learn from death, however, is the realization that the pain we feel is merely present because we loved someone so much. It is this love that makes our time on Earth so wonderful but it is also the love that causes us immense heartache.

It’s safe to say that there is no easy way to love but that we should do it anyway, because it makes us a better and more humanized individual. And this notion isn’t just applicable to humans – animals have the ability to love and feel heartache too – something that is evident in this devastating video.
A man named Wagner de Lima of Brazil passed away tragically after losing control of his motorbike. His death brought about sadness and tears among all of his friends and family – as well as his horse, Sereno. It was said that de Lima and Sereno had a very close bond – one so strong that it caused this adorable horse to cry quietly beside de Lima’s casket.

In an interview with de Lima’s brother he said, “This horse was everything to Wagner, it was as if the horse knew what was happening and wanted to say goodbye. All the way to the cemetery he was whimpering and stomping on the ground,” while a close friend added, “It was an unbelievable thing to see the way the horse behaved. If I hadn’t been there I wouldn’t have believed it myself.”

They continued to say, “As we brought the coffin out at the beginning of the funeral, (Sereno) sounded like he was crying and as if he recognized that his owner was finally leaving him. He pounded the ground with his hooves and kept on whinnying. It was very sad.”
Now, Sereno will live with de Lima’s brother, despite many in the community offering to buy him. He said, “Wagner will stay with our family forever.” In this way, the saddened friends and family can remember De Lima fondly with the sight of his beautiful horse, Sereno.
