I lost my other 13 year old Yorkie, Gizmo this past spring. Left one morning for work and when we came home, he was dead - looked like he died in his sleep (sure hope so). Today is a VERY bad day for us, and i was reaching out for some YT empathy and maybe some hints on how to help Raven. We have a very good vet.
Thanks for listening!!! |
Dear Raven's Mom...........I am going to use my knowledge & Profession here if you don't mind? I am a Palliative Nurse....Yes I do this fulltime and have for years. Trust me, please in knowing........it doesn't matter whether it is a human family member or a canine family member ,LOVING them is the medicine, for as long as you can. A part of Loving them ( are you ready?) is knowing when to give their soul & spirit PEACE..........knowing when they give you the signs ( you will know in your heart when) that its time that they go onwards to do greater things in their life ( spirit). This will be one of the hardest things to do.............but to cross over with dignity, love & respect, and to be painfree is .......I think the greatest love of all to give. I have seen miracles and once in a blue moon I will post this way(this could be my first)...............but I do believe.....there is a greater being than any of us and he/she loves all of God's creations!
Of course you will miss Raven, but you will hold tightly to your heart all the emotions he has taught you & the memories he will give you!
But for today & tomorrow & every day after..........Enjoy every minute you have with him........concentrate on his special qualities..........Love him, caress him.........and hold him. (
" Our Loves unlock our hearts and teach us to love, even more, than we thought we could"
My thoughts and Prayers are with you and Raven at this time.........
I can tell you Love your little boy so much!
The smallest stars ALWAYS shines the Brightest.
Tonight Raven's health is in my prayer
