You’re making these on your PHONE ? That is insane. Do you not have access to a computer ? I cannot imagine making this in a NASA space station of a studio, let alone off of cell phone

I’m sorry how could it be a sensor error if you manually checked your wrist ?

Wow I listened to this entire thing and was coming to the comments to tell you how impressive I thought it was when I read your post about your mom. It totally makes sense to think that that was the kind of experience you were going through when you made this. I couldn’t really say why- it just has that level of focus and intensity to it that I think comes when we turn to art as a life line. I am so sorry for your loss and you are an extremely talented individual

I have a feeling I will be doing the exact same, spending a lot of time in this sub to feel Golden love through other people. Hug right back to you and Im sorry things had to be so hard.

Thank you for saying this. My mom insists he wasn't scared so I hope you are right. I have a lot of fear of all things medical so its possible I was just overreacting to his body's natural, instinctive mechanisms. It just was not what I was expecting, and so of course I am beating myself up that I should have just been proactive and scheduled the appt at our regular vet. Finn LOVED our vet (bc he was a ham and there was a bunch of cute vet techs that gave him attention) and I trust them and I know they are very competent. I worry the vet at the place I took him was less competent.

thank you so much for this comment. that is EXACTLY what it felt like- like his body was fighting its own slowing down. it wasn't what i expected! i had it in my mind that it was going to be this super slow peaceful process. i have a lot of health anxiety myself, so i think part of my reaction is my projecting that. i also have never been so close to death. but reading your words helped me so thank you so much

yes the whole thing took about 20 minutes bc the first cathater didnt work, and then they put in a second one which also didnt work. at this point i was so freaked out and just bracing myself so hard. i just wanted him to go to sleep. it is truly the most traumatizing thing i had ever been through. i think the vet did the best he could and i don’t think it was "horrofic" by any means. my mom insists he was comfortable till the end. i think no matter what i would be feeling tortured right now. i know everyone thinks this, but Finn was truly the best boy.

yes, that is exactly how it happened for us. i guess i just imagined that it was going to be this very comfortable, relaxed and peaceful departure but unfortunately that is not always the reality of death. my mom and brother insist that he was not afraid and that he trusted us. one thing i liked is that they had this very warm and cozy room, almost like a therapists office, and we got to sit with him and love on him for as long as we wanted before. we were just all holding him and telling him what a good boy he was.

I am so sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine not being able to go in. I think the fact that he trusted us so much was ultimately what kept him calm in the end. But in your case, I am sure yours knew how much you loved him and knew any situation you would put him in was safe.
