My goodness. That was a beautiful story to share. Didn’t anticipate crying, alone in the dark, on a Tuesday morning. Those of us that have been there know what a gift pets are in our lives. Can’t imagine being without. We currently have 3 (2 cats and 1 dog).
I’m so sorry for your loss, the end is always heartbreaking but Amy sounds like she made it that little bit easier for you both. I’ve been in the vets today too, pinching my palm so hard & now facing the inevitable with our little dog, thank you for articulating what it feels like 💔
Well that’s broken me 😢. I resonate so much with this article. My cat’s vet said a very similar thing “it’s better to let them go when you’re still wondering if it’s the right thing to do”
This reminds me of my own cat Mog who passed 10 years ago. His ashes still sit on the shelf as I’ve never been able to let him go. Crazy I know but he was such a magnificent beast 😻❤️
Nearly a year since we said goodbye to our darling Smokes. Our vet said he wasn’t a cat that would just go into the garden & pass away. She was right. He held on for so long but suffered a second stroke & we had to make the awful decision. This article resonates with me too. Utterly heartbreaking 🐈⬛💔
Can't quite find the words for this, took me back to a similar situation. The vet even let me out their staff door as I was blubbing so much. Beautifully written and just as powerful... condolences on your loss.
I made it half way through this article and burst into tears. Two years ago I had to put my Precious to sleep. It was, and still is, one of the worst days of my life. I’m sorry for your loss😢
Beautifully written, they are family. Sorry for your loss, thank you for sharing. Brought back memories of when I had to let my first cat go, some 30+ years ago. My current feline companion also adds so much to my life, I hope she will be around a long time and live her best life.

Their last day lasts for months 🥲🥺
"Ain't no sunshine when she's gone" was one of the things I sang after I had to let my old girl go. (And I knew it was Her Time and Her Wish.)
