What Happened?, sudden death Options

[Balin's mom]

Two days ago was like any other Sunday with Balin hanging around and being my faithfull companion at home, I remember I saw him looking for a nice place to lay down while he can see me doing chores around the house, all of a sudden he started with vomit and I thought "ok Balin what did you eat? as usual he might found something on the floor or in the back yard" .
In a matter of hours I was rushing to the emergency room because he did not wanted water or food and he didn't make it, he stopped breathing just a block away from the vet's office, and even they try to resucitate him, nothing could be done.
Today I still can't believe he is gone, is so hard to think that he is not at home anymore, he has been with the family since he was 2 months old, he was 10 years old and was my best friend. This two days had been a nightmare because I can't understand what happened, he was a healthy, playfull dog he was the baby of the house and all of a sudden he is gone and I cannot feel a single moment at peace because I can't stop thinking that I should took him earlier to de doctor and he might be here now.
It hurts so much not to have him now.

I MISS YOU BALIN

You poor thing...what an awful shock to have it happen so fast and unexpectedly.

How could you have known that it would be something so serious. I would have thought like you that he ate something that didn't agree with him. My kitty throws up every so often after eating grass usually it helps him get him out a furball.

I'm so sorry you lost Balim. I know how it feels. The only thing that got me through it 3 times in the last two years was focusing on all the love we shared. The love never dies, it always surrounds you and comforts you and when you can think of the happy times even makes you laugh. I believe my lost pets are always near me in spirit and even though I can't see them I try to let myself feel their neverending love and sent mine to them also.

Hugs...

I know just how you are feeling. The shock of sudden death is dreadful. Our little tabby cat got run over and killed just yesterday. We are thinking of you. Hugs from Sid's mum and Dadxx

hi Balins Mum

Please take heart in this as I lost Smokey, my beloved cat( and also my mother in much the same way). It was terrible for me the shock etc..... BUT.... great for my mother and Smokey, no illness, no vets (or doctors) just a very good life that finished very quickley. I think I hope that for myself when the time comes. Remember we are all here for you on your journey.

Hello - I understand exactly how you feel as have spent the last fornight and most especially the last week thinking that I could have noticed something earlier and done something more for Stripey. Sometimes these things are just very sudden with no precursors. You mustn't blame yourself, but focus on the good times.

I'm very good at telling other people to be rational and positive, just not good at telling myself...

My thoughts and sympathies are with you - I really do know how hard it hits.

I'm so sorry!

Please try not to feel guilty---you did everything you could. I am thankful that you were there with him at the time. He took comfort in that, I'm sure.

He's fine in the realm he's in now---no physical or emotional pain, and no sense of the separation from you. You'll join him when it's your time to pass. In the meantime, he would want you to be okay.

The heartache is excruciating, I know.

We're here for you.

Sending you prayers of peace,

Kathy

I understand your guilt, I am the reason my dog got hit by a car. I hear each day gets easier, but I'm not sure yet.
I'm thinking about you.
