I think you can hold on, as long as they are not suffering, until you see the light start to fade in their eyes. When they look at you & they are ready, you will know. It hurts so very much and I feel for you having to make this decision. Trust your little one and just love on her and tell her how wonderful she is and that when she is ready, you will be too. Tell her that it's okay, when she is ready, you will be with her through the end.
