Thank you Mamanyt, it isn't easy to be so alone in the home like this. Not when a furry friend has always been here to keep company. The quietness is so unsettling at times, and when I look around expecting her to 'round a corner looking for food or play, it reminds me what I lost. In time, if...

Thank you for offering such comforting words and kindness. It's weird reflecting on her last moments in my arms. I knew it was the right decision to make, despite being so hard to do. That's an odd feeling for me, that kind of 'knowing'. That is compassion; that's why I did it, because I truly...

Thank you so much for your kind words. I thought I would never be strong enough to hold my girl during her final breaths, but I did it. A kind of peace came with that. She was safely in my arms until the end.

Thank you mrsgreenjeens, for your kinds words and for all the resources you provided. And thanks in general for responding here, it is appreciated more than you know. After reviewing my options, it became clear that going through with a diagnosis, treatment, and recovery for whatever was ailing...

You are right - I do need to find someone to help me work through this process. I acknowledge that I cannot do it alone. Thank you for the kind thoughts!

Thank you for the kind thoughts. What you describe is exactly what's been going on with me for at least the last 4 years or so. Every year I go through this kind of emotional upheaval, each year seemingly worse than the previous, where I am haunted with dread and thoughts of the day I lose Kleo...

Hey all, I've been lurking here for the past couple of weeks due to some health issues my little Kleo has been going through. I need to reach out because I'm going through a really bad time right now and don't know where else or who else to turn to. My Kleo is going on 16 years old; I've had...
