Hello,
My name is Wendy and I was Jake's mom. He died last Sunday and I still cannot breathe, see, work, sleep etc. Almost all of the posts I've seen here are rather old. Does anyone visit this site?

Wendy,

I am so very sorry for your loss. I read your story and it is obvious that you did everything you could possibly do to save Jake and he knows it. Me and my husband lost our furry baby Scarlett suddenly on July 11th - she was only 7 1/2 years old and we are completely devastated. The weeks following her passing we were drowning in our guilt as well - Speaking to the ER Vet helped us release some of the heaviness we felt in our hearts. The what if's and should have's continue to overwhelm us but we are dealing with our loss one breath at a time and that is all we each can do... breathe, try to stay present and take it one moment at a time.

This site has been incredibly healing for us - what others have written have been of great comfort to us. You will see others will reach out to you, we all understand the depth of grief that comes with losing a furry baby - I am still in deep grief - as I type this tears are streaming down my face but just wanted to let you know I am thinking about you and sending you healing thoughts.

Scarlett's Mom and Dad,
I just read about your loss and I am so sorry. I appreciate your kind words and know the devastation you feel. I've been poking around on the site today and have found nothing but warmth and acceptance. I'm glad you have shared your story and opened the door to help others. This is much harder than I ever could have imagined.

Chimom,

It really is so much harder than words can express, isn't it? They are our babies, our responsibility - I am beginning to understand that the guilt comes from the fact that we take that responsibility seriously. They are angels here on earth and we are the lucky ones to be in their lives. Sending you healing energy.
