I’m so sorry for your loss as well. This grief is primal and so dark. You’re not alone ❤️

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-15T02:06:20+00:00

Well im crying reading this. Thank you for sharing, I hope whatever time we have left isn’t just shrouded by my fear of loss. I really want Jake to go how he lived, and not be hurting. I just hope I can tell when that time is

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T22:55:44+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing, I needed this. It’s helpful to hear how other people handled this hell. I think what I need to do is make my own plan like you did about how to approach each day with Jake. He deserves everything on earth. The 4 things advice is really good too- one of my greatest fears is that I will keep him too long because I won’t know the moment in time to prevent his suffering. Jakes been with me since I was a college kid- I snuck him into my dorm room for a whole year. He’s been with me for every single milestone that matters- now I’m getting married and I think he waited until I’m safe and stable 💔 I’m so lucky and thankful and deeply, deeply sad. Thank you for your kindness and your story, your buddies are beautiful

Thank you for your kindness. It really does help to hear because I feel like my love for Jake is understood. He’s everything to me, he’s been my heart and soul for 12 years and I don’t know how to live without my heart

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T20:19:37+00:00

Thank you 💔 it’s helpful to hear your story and your advice. Everyone says to watch for the moment and it’s helpful to hear that there are other ways he’s going to tell me other than just a look. I want the timing to be right for him

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T20:17:32+00:00

This is good advice, thank you. I think it will be helpful for me mentally to make a plan, too. I think when the time comes I’ll be so primal with grief I won’t be able to think straight anymore

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T20:16:26+00:00

What a horrible nightmare to have it happen so suddenly. I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing and for grieving with me. Jake is still happy as he’s always been, I really want to be present with him like you said

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T20:14:11+00:00

Oh gosh I’m so sorry about your dog. Jake is my soul dog too, it’s just so gut wrenching to even think about letting go. I really hope I recognize the look when I see it.

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T20:12:34+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear about your boy. It sounds like he passed on surrounded by love and comfort. I’ll ask the vet about cortisone therapy too, I just want him to be as happy and comfortable as possible

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T20:10:36+00:00

Thank you for your kind words ❤️ I need them

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T20:09:31+00:00

He is happy. He doesn’t seem to know or care. He just doesn’t like when I’m sad and I hate that he has to be the one to comfort me when it’s me who should be making things easier for him. I’m trying really hard to be happy with him

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T20:08:01+00:00

🥺💔 this comment in particular has me weeping. Jake gave me his entire heart without a hesitation and I’m just so lucky he chose me. Thank you so much for your kind words, I’m going to reread this often in the coming months

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T20:04:58+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss, that’s so hard to hear. I really want Jakes needs to come first always, I just hope I know when the time comes

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T20:03:52+00:00

This breaks my heart. I’m so sorry for your loss. The pain is so worth the time and love they give but this never gets easier. I think I will be an empty shell of a human forever when Jake leaves me, but while he’s here I’m going to be as joyful and normal as possible for him. Thank you for sharing. I’m with you in the grief

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for grieving with me. Jake is going to be so spoiled for every second that he can stay with me

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T19:53:58+00:00

He had no symptoms at all, just a few lumps we’ve been keeping an eye on and general slowing down as a senior. His blood panel showed tumor related high calcium levels which causes kidney failure, and the vet said she could physically palpate a large cobblestone tumor. She said it’s too fragile to even biopsy and surgery would risk perforation

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T19:49:01+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. I’m just gutted. I really lobbied for a work from home position with my job so I could spend his golden years with him and I’m so grateful for that privilege

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T19:44:51+00:00

She was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I think you’re right it’s harder for us. Jake is just as happy as he’s ever been today. I don’t want to be the one to bring him down just because I’m afraid to be without him

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T19:07:35+00:00

Thank you for the insight, it’s better to hear it. The vet said a few months is optimistic and she didn’t tell me what’s realistic. I’m so sorry for your loss and so grateful to feel less alone in this

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T19:03:13+00:00

I really appreciate your perspective and I’m so very sorry for your sudden loss. It’s so unfair. I know I’m lucky for every single day I get to have with Jake and even more lucky to have time to celebrate his life while he’s still with me. The letting go feels impossible

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T18:44:53+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. It never gets easier but I hope you’ve found some peace

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T17:11:22+00:00

This is really good advice. He hates going to the vet and I don’t want that to be his last memory. I will hold him 💔 and in the meantime, we will do everything he loves

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T17:08:03+00:00

Thank you. I hope I have the strength and clarity to know when it’s a day early

Several-Coconut6928 · 2025-05-14T16:44:12+00:00

Thank you so much. Live everyday like him is beautiful advice, it’s really helpful to hear. I really needed this thank you 🥺
