Your heart will know when it is time. You could google on that question I'm sure you will find many resources to help you sort through your options.
Heart feelings and minds are not often in sync initially. I have faced the decision on whether or not to take a parent off life support. I found my heart needed to hold on to grieve and feel, my brain was busy making rational decisions for or against. When I sat quietly with my Dad, holding his hand, watching him, and just well i guess remembering, looking into his eyes, there was a point in time, when everything in my body eased, and I just knew that now was time to let go. |
My dad is fighting cancer, and heart and lung disease, so unless his current wife is going to make that decision alone, I might have to do that one too. But in some respects when a human being is on life support you are *helping* them die, their body is struggling to let go. With a listless puppy who's health problems are making him unhappy, it's a bit different. I'm so sorry that you had to deal with that for your parent. I'd much rather have to make that decision for a pet than a parent!
