This was really, really well done! Excellent advice. I believe you are spot on. I commented on another recent video you made. At that time we were pre-grieving our dog Paul Peterson’s transition. He passed this past Sept 22. Ours is an incredible story. I may share more at some point. The greater the love, the greater the grief. ❤️
Thank you Tami. This was very powerful for me. I truly know that if my Lula had been asked if she could have one more day with me, what would she do, she'd choose it to be like every other day and that's something I'd have never thought of. It's very comforting ❤
I had to make the decision to euthanise my sweet baby girl Lula on Friday 20th. My 15 year old rescue cat. At this point I don't want to vacuum the carpet, or change the sheets or change anything she touched before she passed. The imprint of her furry little body is still on her beanbag. I can hardly leave the house because when people just casually say how are you it reminds me of how my heart is smashed to pieces and even though I know it was right, I have euthanasia guilt. I hope this helps and my thoughts and best wishes are sent to everyone grieving the loss of a much loved and soul bonded pet. I know it's only her physical body that's gone but it doesn't help right now 🙏
I stayed in the house for a week, just to give myself the freedom to experience the loss. I too went through the euthanasia guilt. I feel compelled to tell you that before she passed, she sent me a dream, essentially expressing to me that she was ready to leave. She even changed her napping spot after the dream, laying by the front door, (a very odd place for her to be but a behavior she has had since she was 6 weeks old). When I figured out that she was communicating with me to make the appointment, I did as she instructed. She chose the time.
I’m so sorry about Lula. I understand not vacuuming, etc. I have done that myself. Honor where you are in this journey. The animals have shared that they are part of their passing. In other words, no mistakes were made. I understand euthanasia guilt. But your sweet, Lula, is grateful for every moment with you. Sending so much love and support.
@@tami.hendrix thank you so much. I just realised today that Lula had been breaking some of our habits for a little while before she passed, like our breakfast and dinner routine, she basically did away with all that and with hindsight I can see she was just where she needed to be at any given moment, I'm grateful that a lot of that time included being held and touched by me, she very actively let me know what she needed. She also spent a lot of time sunning and sleeping in her favourite spots. I understand now that she did have a say in her passing, it's a very comforting thought, I'd never have realised that if it weren't for you. Both times I took her to the vet she was so incredibly calm and peaceful. Thank you for your comforting support 🥰
Some have suggested letting go, as if it were possible to disentangle from that which is inextricably linked, inferring here a sense of essentialism or the impossibly divisible. I gave her my heart and she hers. So, while I feel a sense of loss of the physical, she's not here, she has in fact grown in her presence and that expansion means or is a part of my own expansion.
