Ash's time has come.....

[caseysmom]

I will pray that Ash will make a sharp turnaround and you can cancel your appointment, but if not you are doing the right thing.

Praying for a miracle here, Carole. What you have to do is really tough but the right thing, as you know. Keep the faythe.

Yes i know I have to do the right thing by him, it is not fair for him to suffer on , and i believe he is now suffering, he was not before,he has had enough i can tell, poor ole guy.

[Taz_Zoee]

I know exactly how you are feeling, as do many of us here. The lump in your throat, the ache in your heart. The doubt of if it is actually the right time and right thing to do. I still have those doubts about Taz and he's been gone for 7 months now. I know I did the right thing, but it doesn't make it any easier.
I am going through those emotions right now with you again. Tears, tight chest, shaking hands.

Hugs to you from this side of the world.

[caseysmom]

I felt that way about my RB gigi for a long long time, I guess its just natural to feel that way. In hindsight now I know I did the right thing.

I am so sorry for your worry and pain. Such a painful decision we have to make for those fur children who love. Sending hugs and hoping that you and Ash find peace together in your love for each other.

[Cataholic]

I am so sorry to hear this. Spend these days loving Ash, and remembering his special ways. Hugs to you.

[Prairie Purrs]

I'm so sorry. I know that horrible knot in the stomach all too well. But when they're ready to say goodbye, we have to honor that, even when it breaks our hearts in pieces.

You and Ash will be in my thoughts.

[Catherinedana]

Praying for a miracle here, Carole.

We all are, Carole. But I think the miracle happened when you and Ash met and he became a part of your life. He will always be with you, you know that. And our hearts are with you too.

Much love,
Cathy

I'm so sorry. I will keep you and your beloved cat Ash in my thoughts.

[phesina]

Oh Carole, I'm so sorry to read this.

You and Ash have been through so much together, shared so much life and love. I know you are cherishing the time you have together with him, as he is doing with you. May God grant you both peace and comfort.

Love and hugs to you and your family, Carole, and gentle pets to dearest Ash,
Pat

[Pinot's Mom]

Carole, I'm so sorry it's come to this decision. Prayers for the both of you.

[kuhio98]

Carole ~ I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm praying for a miracle too.

But, if it's not to be and he has to leave us, I hope that it is a peaceful passing.

Gentle hugs to you all.

[carole]

Thank you. your kind and understanding words do bring me comfort, i had wondered whether to post now or after he went, but i knew in my heart i needed the love and support from you all, so i am glad i did post this thread now.

I am not sure Ash will make it to Saturday, i think i may well have to take him tomorrow,I am finding this very distressing,but i do know i have made the right decision, although the thought still nags at you all the same, but yes it would be cruel for me to let him linger on, and he would be suffering.

I think this is the hardest part and the day i take him, afterwards i probably will find the peace i need,so until then i just have to remember i am doing this because i love him so much.

Decisions like this are the hardest ever but unfortunately it must be made. As I always recite "it's the quality of life that matters." Carole, I'm so sorry that your beloved Ash must make the trip - all too soon. I know what that feels like and for me, almost a month later, it's still very raw.

{{{hugs}}} Carole. We are here for you and are wrapping our thousands of arms and paws around you and Ash at this very difficult time. Please plant a kiss on that furry forehead from me.
