Horrible day

[Karen]

Take comfort in knowing that likely little miss coon's only encounter with humans was you, and she could tell you were kind enough to help her. I am sure you will see her again one day at the Rainbow Bridge.

Thank you Karen. I do so hope that she had some comfort in my arms. Had she not been injured I would have taken her home, raised her and then released her in the wild, but alas her little body was too hurt.
Amazing how such a small creature can forever live in your heart even if the encounter was brief.
I shall not forget her.

Marigold, I think you were the baby raccoons angel today. We all have them looking out for us.

Marigold,
You didn't let this little sweetheart down, you helped her. I don't know her age, but it sounds like she was pretty small and maybe still needing her mommy. Had you not picked her up, held her with love, and went to every place you could think of to find a vet for help, how much longer might she have suffered in pain and fear? You did what was best for her but broke your heart in the process.
She doesn't hurt anymore and just maybe she found her mommy waiting for her at the Bridge.
Because of you, this special little being knew that humans give comfort and love. Bless you for that and bless you for caring enough to help

You absolutely did the right thing. That poor baby would have suffered and you just helped her along.

RIP Baby Coon

Oh the poor little sweetie. Just think of what would have happened had you not come along to help her, Monica. She would've died a long and painful death. This way, at least, you were able to give her some comfort and end her pain and suffering. Animal rescue has its rewards but it also has its heartbreak, doesn't it? Although it's painful to think about, you can know in your heart that you did the right thing. She's now at peace and is feeling no pain.

First, here's your hug (((((HUG)))))
It brought tears to my eyes just listening to your story. Better she passes than be in that kind of pain.
You were her angel.

I agree. Here's another one, (((Hug)))

You did everything and the only compassionate thing you could do. Most importantly, she did not die alone.

As to work? It will seem overwhelming...eventually it will be like second nature.
