How horrible an experience for you. At least you know you have a place where you can come that people will not only understand and relate to the deep love you had for Betsy and have for your other babies, they will also know the devastation you are feeling at her loss.
Saying goodbye is never easy and I have to think that Betsy took it upon herself to spare you that. As for the surgery, you were only doing what you thought you could do to make her better. It seems like from the time you first saw her, you were doing that, so please, hard as it is, don't beat yourself up. Betsy wouldn't want it.
Your love and compassion rescued her and gave her a home better than most dogs -- and probably kids, too -- could ever dream of.
I will pray for you and your family that you find healing and peace. Now that you're here, maybe you can join in on some of the other threads. It may help you. |
