Wow my heart breaks for you to think about the pain you must be in to have to part with your dog after all these years. But what you did was give her a gift of wellness and care and for that you should be thankful. As another poster pointed out, some people are forced to leave their animals behind due to financial hardship and some end up with a fate that is much worse. If you had continued to keep her, you might have been in a position of neglecting her medical needs and then would undoubtedly feel much worse than you do right now. You have to do what is right for the dog, and although your situation sounds like it might improve down the road, you unfortunately don't know WHEN that might be.
You asked for "strong advice" so here is mine. Heal your heart and rest your mind - but let the dog have a chance at health and wellness and leave her with the lady who can meet her needs. You have to take care of the other two and focus on getting yourself back on track.
Best wishes.
