Poe Options

Hi All,

I don't have much to add from what has already been said. My heart is totally broken, and the pain is overwhelming. I actually can't believe how much it hurts, how much pain people can take and still survive.



Love and blessings to anyone else who is experiencing this.

Hi, Suzanne, thank you so very much for sharing with us how you're doing. As I read through your post of 4/23 and Aaron's reply of 4/24, I reaffirm to you the very comforting words our forum friend Aaron has shared with you. There is also another aspect to Aaron's comforting words that I would like to share with you: Although your beloved Poe needed the additional surgery, you need to ask yourself what the cost would have been to him physically as well as to his spirit. For example - - When my beautiful baby girl Abbygayle was diagnosed with advanced Fibrosarcoma on her left hip, she underwent three surgeries to remove the tumors, with the tumors coming back after each surgery. After the first two surgeries she did well in her recovery. I was very concerned about her undergoing the third surgery so soon after recovering from the second one, and I asked her doctor about what she thought it would do to Abbygayle emotionally. My beautiful baby girl let us know - - she was very tired and let both me and her doctors know that she had had enough. The tumors returned quickly after the third surgery, and there was nothing more her doctors or I could do for her except to keep her comfortable and happy until it was time to ease her journey home to the angels. When she had her surgeries the doctor could have amputated her leg, but I am very glad she did not - - for it would not have changed the course of the cancer and the already established hold it had on my baby girl's body.

So you see, Suzanne - - it's not just about having the financial ability to afford the veterinary care - - it's also equally, if not more, important to stay focused on what was truly best for your beloved Poe - - even when it means making the very difficult decision to WITHHOLD invasive medical procedures - - for whatever reason. Your beloved Poe KNOWS you did everything in your power to give him a happy and healthy earthly journey - - and it is the many wonderful memories that you and your beloved Poe share that he wants you to hold in your heart.

Please know we are here for you, Suzanne, to share with you the better days, and to help you through the days you may still feel the very deep sorrow in your heart. I hope today is treating you and your precious James kindly, and that you both will have a peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Poe's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you and your precious James are in my thoughts and prayers, and please let us know how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
