Tough Decisions

(((Charmed))),

I am so sorry for your loss (((gentle hugs))). It is so hard when we lose a furbaby. Please take what ever time you need to grieve. The feelings of guilt are a part of the process, we always seem to 'what if' ourselves. There is no doubt that your dog knew how much you loved her, don't ever doubt that. Although she may no longer be here with you physically, she is watching over you and will never leave your heart. Take some comfort in knowing that she has been freed from her ailing body and is now running free.

There is a wonderful board here on iVillage, Pet Bereavement that is run by some wonderful ladies and everyone there has been where you are now. That is how I first came to iVillage and if it were not for the support I received over there I am not sure how I would have made it through. Here is the link:

Please take care of yourself and give extra hugs to the fursibling that was left behind. He is grieving too and understands what you are feeling. Please let us know how you are doing.

(((Hugs of comfort and support))),

Charmed,

I'm so very sorry to hear of your dog passing.  (((hugs)))  Please know that we're hear to give you hugs and support.  Feeling guilty is normal but please know you did all you could.
