I a so sorry that you are having to make this decision, but I know from personal experience, that when the time is right and you have to say good-bye, it will be the kindest act of caring that you can perform. Last year when I held my heart Jesse in my arms and watched him drift peacefully away, I was so sad. My dear vet was crying and I was crying but we both had to do the kindest thing for Jese. He was only 3 years old and I had tried so many things to help him even when the vet thought he might do better in less stressful home..That did not work either so he had to be allowed to not hurt anymore.
I have his pic taped on my puter desk and look at him every few minutes....He is at peace across Rainbow Bridge and is buried under a holly tree in my back woods.
I do have one regret and that relates to what I buried him in. I will use a small water proof container from now on..The cold weather, snow, rain makes me so sad because I don't want him to feel it. He is in a wee wooden box but he is buried with so many of our other pets that I know they are all keeping each other comfortable.
You have the power to make a very kind decision for your little loved one even though it will break your heart.
You will be in my prayers as you struggle with this.. |
