Related: About this forumi'm helping mira cross the rainbow bridge in a few hours
i want to thank everyone for their advice and support in my thread the other night. as always, the du family was there for me when i needed it most.
we spent a few hours of family time in the yard yesterday so that she could enjoy the sun and grass and i kept her by my side all last night.
i'm having her cremated and will leave some of her with fat cat when i visit home in a few weeks, something neither of them will be terribly pleased about but is how it should be.
you were my shadow for so long, little one, and i will miss you so very much. thank you, my sweet girl, for loving me when i didn't even like myself.

(18,641 posts)I have too many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears.
Be thankful for our wonderful years.
I gave to you my love, you can only guess . . .
how much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you have shown,
but now it's time I travelled on alone.
So grieve a while for me if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a time that we must part,
so bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me call, and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear.
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must pass this way alone,
I'll greet you with a purr and say "Welcome Home!"

(3,266 posts)decision and carrying it out are the most heartbreaking, love-filled, sorrowful, gut-churning and bittersweet. Just the effing worst. My heart goes out to you.

(7,768 posts)but I did so out of respect for you and your precious Mira.
And yes, I got the expected lump in my throat.
May your memories of your sweet 'Shadow' always bring smiles and happiness and your tears of grief fewer and less often.

(12,383 posts)at night, right before you fall asleep. I felt my departed cats do that several weeks after leaving me. I guess they wanted to make sure id be ok before they took off to play with friends.

(34,376 posts)I'm in tears reading this and seeing your beautiful Mira enjoying the sunshine one last time. The only time they are ever capable of breaking our hearts is when it's time for them to leave us. Again, I'm so very sorry.

(37,648 posts)I recently lost my precocious Cocker Spaniel, and am left with a broken heart, so I feel for you right now. At least you had some final moments. It comforted me to think there really was a Rainbow Bridge...I couldn't bear it otherwise. Who knows.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
