I received the following note on this blog, from a grieving pet parent. This is an important note for all, because we ALL make a choice in how we pass. We decide if we want to pass in the presence of someone or by ourselves. Pets do the same thing -and do not want us to feel guilty for not being there.
THE LETTER:
- My daughters dog just passed yesterday Oct 11th I am feeling guilty on account I feel like I should of taken her back to the vet. But one minute she was bouncing around then the next she didn't look so good. I just didn't think she was going to pass. My daughter let her out and when she came in she went to her bed. She called her and angel never came she died. I am having a hard time with this. She had a heart murmur and was on medication. I am having her cremated and I want to keep her with me so I can hug her urn. I didn't realize how much I really did loved her but its obvious now because the tears won't stop and I can't eat. I just don't know if she suffered and if she's mad at me because she feels I could of did more for her or I should of known she was dying. This is breaking my heart please help.MY RESPONSE
