Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 1:19 pm Post subject: So sad here
After my recent post about my lab, Nala, having been diagnosed with cancer, the day came today that we had to have her put down. I am overwraught with grief here. We said goodbye, I took Nero, our black lab, upstairs whilst the vet put her to sleep then brought him down to see her. He didn't really take much notice - not sure when he will realise.
Seeing her aftwards was so awful, so final. I now wish I had just said goodbye and not seen her afterwards - that image will stay with me.
Just had to put this down - thought it might help me.
Just wanted to say that I am so very sorry, you did a wonderful kind thing for Nala allowing her to pass in the comfort of her own home rather than the vets.
My thoughts are with you...not much I can say as you will miss her dreafully but you did what was right for her...
although you wish you never saw her after her pts believe me later on you will think back and say you are glad you did..
my tessa had to be pts whilst she was under anesthetic due to cancer and my husband drove me straight up to the vets to see her very very heartbreaking but im glad i did,, i dont think i could of forgiven myself for not saying my goodbyes
What an awful thing to have to happen, but you know you made the right decision at the right time. At the end she was in the place where she had been loved and cherished.
My heart goes out to you, if there was something I could say to make you feel better, I would. I know there are all the cliches like 'time's a great healer' etc but at the moment you need to give yourself time to mourn, she will have been a big part of your life.
Thinking about you xxx
