A few hours ago I did the most humane thing I knew how to do. Storm, our 14 year old feline had advanced stages of cancer. My partner and I decided to be in the room together until the end.
I thought that it wouldn't bother me as much as it is now. I know I did the right thing, I know it is for the best, but I feel so empty. So lonely. I miss her so much. Her sister keeps walking around the house looking for her. It just doesn't seem fair. It doesn't seem real. Just wanted to share. Ray |

Dear Ray,
I'm so sorry for your loss of Storm. Shiloh, my dog, also had cancer. I had to make the same decision for her 6 months ago that you made for Storm today. Something that someone here said to me helped ease the pain of that decision..."We took on their pain so they could be pain free." Even though the pain your feeling right now is immeasurable, Storm is pain free. Storm is chasing birds and butterflies and having a great time. You gave her a great gift for which she will be eternally grateful. You're in my thoughts. Kathleen -------------------- Shiloh and Hobbie, you're both gone from my arms, but forever in my heart.

Dear Ray,
I'm so sorry about your loss of Storm. I helped my 16 year old cat jupiter die a month ago, and it's the saddest thing that has ever happened to me. I knew it was time, and am so grateful that i could help him, still the pain and loss is agonizing and i just miss his physical presence so much- i know the lonely and empty feelings. sending you my support. |

Hi Ray, I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Storm. Even when we have to help our babies out of their pain it just hurts so much. Sometimes the people on the outside world just can't understand the pain it causes. But everyone here understands how you feel.
Both of my girls I lost had cancer too, and my daughter's kitty has cancer. He gets a Vetalog shot every month and so far has lived 6 months longer that expected. It may not seem possible that later down the road the tears will ever stop but the pain will lessen after a while to where you will be able to live with it. It just hurts so much and many of us are ok for a while but then the tears rush in again. I believe there will always be some pain for the rest of our lives until we can be with them again. Ann -------------------- My girls went to the Rainbow Bridge 6 weeks and 3 days apart. Snookie had cushing's disease, and later developed diabetes. Both had cancer, Snookie had cancer of the liver, and Chili Bean had cancer of the pallet. Chili Bean was our son's chihuahua but we kept her often throughout her life and she stayed with us for the last 9 months of her life. Chili Bean also had asthma and heart failure. We will see you in Heaven my precious darlings. Snookie Lynn Howard 2-04-94 - 12-26-04 Senorita Chili Bean Bubbles Howard 11-05-94 - 11-11-04 |

Dear Ray,
I'm sorry for the loss of your beloved Storm. You did the right thing to end her suffering and yes, your house will feel empty. Our little pals sure leave big holes in our hearts when they leave. You will feel better. It just takes time. Coming here also will help, as we all understand how you're feeling. Thinking of you, Lynn -------------------- Rusty, I will always love you and never forget you. Thank you for more than 7 wonderful years.

Dear Ray,
I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to let them go. I also lost my best friend Bubba to cancer dec 22. He was 14 1/2. It hurts so bad to see them suffering. You freed Storm from his pain and he is no longer suffering from the cancer that was hurting him so much. Storm is now with you in spirit. Kim |

Dear Ray,
I am sorry about Storm. I too lost my dog Sasha to cancer and she also had to be put to sleep 7 weeks ago. I know it is not easy, but you know in your heart as I did that it is the best thing you can do for them. My Sasha could hardly breathe and I could not stand to see her suffer. I felt as you did sad and angry that my baby was only 11 and was taken from me. The first week is the hardest. I am deeply sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you. Just think that Storm is free from pain now. You will see her again at the Rainbow Bridge. Nancy |

Dear Ray,
The decision you made was an extremely hard one, but the right one. I know just how painful it is, regardless of the knowledge that it was the best possible thing you could do for Storm... I did the same think for Inky in February and it's heartbreaking. We're here for you to try to help you get through this at every step of the way. Hugs, Pat -------------------- INKY November 26, 1991-February 5, 2005

Ray, I am sorry about the loss of your beloved Storm. My husband and I had our lab Lucy euthanised in our bedroom, where she always felt the most comfortable. The vet came to us, and she was wonderful. It was probably the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I cried, screamed, wept some more, but in the end, I am glad we chose to do it that way. It was an incredibly sad, but beautiful experience. I am sure your Storm felt very much at peace...
Thinking of you, Caroline |
