I am having the hardest time coping with this. I had to have her put to sleep 2 days ago and cannot bear the pain from losing her. I feel like I have lost my child. She had hydrocephalus and the fluid build up on her brain became too much for her. I have bottle fed her and took care of her from the time she was born(Jan. 3rd). She got sick Monday night and her appetite deminished. Tuesday morning it was the same thing very little appetite. Of course, with her condition she couldnt walk or get around and ended up messing on herself so I went to bathe her and clean her up and she started throwing up. I rushed her immediately to the vet. They did a sonogram of her head to see how bad her condition was and there was very little brain there and the fluid had basically squished what little brain she did have. She had no since of balance which was making her sick. The vet and all the employees recommended me put her to sleep. I didnt want to see her suffer but I just cant bare the loss. Please help! How do I cope and move on from here??

This is a pic of her that was taken on the 11th, the day before she got sick.
Here is a pic of the box she was buried in. My daughter colored the angels on top for me.

I too am sorry for your loss. You didn't let her down, you gave her what life she did have for her short time here, and a very comfortable and loving life, but when you can't make life that way any longer....you did what you had to do. You ask how do you cope with this loss...by doing exactly what your doing now. Reaching out, allowing yourself time to grieve, and accepting the love and prayers to comfort you through this time. She was a lucky one to have you.
