  1. Dear Chet, I am so sorry about Clara. She was and is a beautiful girl. I know the pain you are feeling. I had to let my beloved Abby go on November 28, 2004 and even though I know euthanasia was the right thing for her, she was in end stages of congestive heart failure and her lungs had filled with fluid and blood, it does not take away the pain and longing of needing her in my arms again. The missing her never goes away, you just learn to live with it. I too felt like you in that I wanted to go with Abby. I would have been happiest to have died myself. I prayed to do that very thing. For a long time I was in the depths of despair and depression. It went on for months and months. The thing that finally snapped me out of it was something I wouldn't wish on another but my husband got terribly ill this past December. A whole year after Abby passed and it is the thing that finally brought me up from my depression of losing Abby. My husband is still recovering and may have to have a dangerous surgery as he has other complicated medical problems and some new ones. He is just 56 years old. Abby was the most wonderful little dog. She was so loving and devoted to me. At times I felt as though she were my child and I raised her as such. We had her for 13 years and 3 weeks. She came to us when she was just about 7 weeks old. She was my joy and my life. I lived my life around what would be best for Abby. My whole life was geared to her and her life. I promise things will get better for you. It is too soon yet for you to feel any light in your grief. One day you will be able to think of Clara with a smile on your face and in your heart. The best way to honor her life with you is to let grief take it's course and take care of yourself. She would want that and one day, you will be reunited with her again in that place of wonder and joy we all go to in the Lord. Please take care of yourself. In Christian love, Jwatrlily
  2. This is my first time to post here and I am needing some words of ... something. A year ago on November 28 we had to have our beloved Terrier Mix, Abby pts because of Congestive Heart Failure. My world ended that day. I love my husband and kids and Grandson (who lives to far away for me to see hardly once a year) but Abby was my soul mate, my world. She gave me more of everything that I needed then anyone or anything else in my life. To be honest, I'm surprised I am still alive myself because I was happy and content for God to take me then also....but He didn't. Somehow I have continued on but there are days, many days when I'd be happy yet to go. I believe in Rainbow Bridge and that Abby and I will be together again one day so there are days when I want to go now. I don't know how I'm going to manage the 27th, the night before when we held her in our arms all night to keep her breathing and comfortable, and the 28th, the day the Vet said she was suffering as her lungs had filled with blood and fluid, and put her to sleep. She died in my husbands arms with me holding her sweet precious face in my hands, kissing her head. That was last November and it took until August for me to stop crying and now as I approach her 1 year death anniversary, I am feeling the same pain and heartbreak. Thanks for listening.
