I can't begin to imagine what you're going through and I'm so sorry for your loss.
Although I haven't lost a dog (but I know this will occur at some stage), I did lose my beautiful cat of 14 years to stomach cancer in 2019. I had to make the decision to have him euthanized and hate myself, often, for not going with him and sending my husband, instead. The reason I didn't go with him is because I didn't want him to be distressed by my distress but now I doubt myself and wonder if he didn't just feel alone in his final moments.
It took me about three years to be able to talk about him without crying. Someone made me a Christmas ornament in his honor and I couldn't even thank them for it because I was so overcome with grief!
I'm really sorry. Sending friendship and hugs to you x |
The point of this post was, hopefully, to show that we all go through doubts regarding our pets and giving them the best life and making decisions we shouldn't have to make...... I hope this brings you some comfort.
Grief can make us feel like we're isolated on an island. I don't want you to feel that way x
