I understand completely, feeling exactly the same way about my love. It's been 15 days, but it could have been 15 months and 15 minutes all at the same time. Seems so odd, but then again pretty much everything feels off at the moment.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know that intense pain, guilt, and indecision all too well. I finally had to help my sweet Dusty pass on yesterday, perhaps I'll make a post about him when I'm up to it. I may have already said this, but please don't second guess your decision. I think our recent...

Hello! I've read these forums for awhile now, but finally found myself needing to make a post of my own. My 14 year old boy named Dusty had an E-tube placed this afternoon. He wasn't feeling great before, but his lethargy since coming home has been concerning for me. He just lays in the same...
