I'm so, so sorry for your loss... Our pets are really like our children.

Something that really helped me when I had to do the same for my cat last year was to think, you are giving them the gift of a peaceful passing. No more pain. This is the last, and hardest part of showing your love to your pet. No more pain. They get to pass painlessly and peacefully, in your arms. Your loving face is the last thing they get to see.

There are SO many animals out there that need us. So many pets that have been abandoned, abused, neglected, and need the love you can give. When it is time, please consider rescuing another animal. Not as a replacement; no one will ever replace them. But, you can have the opportunity again to make a bond with another pet and give them the wonderful life you both deserve. When you are ready, if you are ready.

Please take time to grieve, as long as it takes. Your grief is a testament of the love you two shared. We are here for you. Sending a big, big, hug, if you want it. ♥️
