Alex is gone, and my heart is breaking

[Medusa]

It's never easy, to be sure, but you're doing what's best for Alex and that's what counts. It would be selfish to keep him only existing the way he is now. You'll be there to comfort him every step of the way and he'll love you for it as he has loved you for the kindness you've shown him. He'll be waiting for you at the RB as Gary would say, "one fine day". A candle burns for you both.

Blessings,
Mary

Jenn, thank you and bless you for loving this dear dear boy. He won't be at all scared to go to the RB - because he already knows what an angel is like.

Prayers for you and Alex...it is the right time...and you know you have many shoulders here for you.

hugs

This is so sad. I'm so glad you were there for Alex for his last days so he would know love and comfort.

((((HUGS))))

Jenn our prayers go to you and to this wonderful cat.

LES here. I don't know how I missed this whole thread, but I am just seeing it tonight. What an ordeal Alex has been through, but how fortunate for sweet Alex to know love and compainionship in his final days. You are such a kind person to have done all that you have for him.

Godspeed to the RB little Alex. Once there, may you be whole again, and run and play and have no pain. May you see once again.

RIP little one, RIP.

Poor little Alex will be able to run and play at the bridge, just like when he was a kitten.
You already know this....but you are doing (or did) the right thing. And I'm sure Alex thanks you for loving him so much these last days.

Thank you for giving him love in his last days. Thank you for doing the right thing for him when it was time.

RIP Alex. Play hard at the bridge.

Today was just so hard. I came home from work as soon as I could. I wrapped Alex up and sat outside with him because it was so sunny and warm. We rocked on the porch swing, and he just closed his eyes and relaxed. He seemed so at peace and happy like that. I held him there for 2hrs. I came inside once it got cool and we rested on the sofa together. Even driving to the vet was peaceful.

Once we got there it was a little more tense. I think he could smell that we were someplace that wasn't a good thing. I was sitting there crying off and on. Our appt. was for 7pm, but the vet was running late, and we didn't get in to a room until almost 8pm. He was having small seizures (I thought he had been but wasn't certain), and he got really upset when the vet injected the first medicine. I was so upset seeing him upset. I was kneeling down, blowing in his face, and telling him I loved him. He just looked so scared. I felt like I was betraying him. Letting go of him and he was alone. My heart is breaking. I hope he forgives me for letting him go and giving up. I just couldn't handle seeing him in pain and suffering. If I could have held him forever, until he was ready to go, I would have.

I'm so sorry Alex. I love you. I hope you are feeling better now, and are playing with the other kitties from the shelter who crossed before you. I miss you terribly. I will be with you again my brave boy. I love you sweetie. Play hard at the bridge honey till I see you again.
