I had to help my beloved Sophie cross the bridge last year, she was 13. The vet told me we always wish for them to just go to sleep, but it usually doesn't happen. Actually, helping them allows us to hold them, talk with them as they cross over, instead of passing by themselves. That would make me very sad. The guilt? It is always there because we think we should have done something more, or if they had, etc.
Take care and bless you for helping your beloved Beau. Warmly, Deborah |
