Where is Debby?

Debby, We don't really feel horrible for those we lose to the grim reaper, they are beyond pain and struggle. We feel horrible for ourselves, OUR loss. Glad you have found some peace, and are back in our world here at SF.
 

Debby, your post just reconfirms to me what a thoughtful and loving person you are. Your horses were so lucky to have you! I've been through this four times and I know all too well how cruelly it breaks your heart. Just give yourself time, know that we are here for you, and take care. :love_heart:

Tease! ;)

And you're right Jim, we do mourn for ourselves don't we, when somebody whom we love has suffered and then is beyond that but we still miss them.

I've always said to my kids when they're whining about something, 'life is hard.....and then you die'....and then it gets good again!' Not sure if they understood that when they were young, but I'm pretty sure it will have made Mom memorable to them! Maybe later they'll remember that and they'll smile. You think?
 
Oh Debby I'm sooo sorry to hear you had to have your adored and adoring Horses PTS...It's just so heartbreaking when we have no other choice but to put our animals out of their misery..happy place for them if they've been in Pain but a dark place for us...they put such trust in us and one always feel as though one has betrayed that trust .

I absolutely can empathise with the place you've been and will be for a while yet...but it's nice to see you back. ((hugs))

Hi folks, thanks for your concern and all. I haven't been on my computer much lately because as I mentioned to Jim just a couple hours ago in response to a PM he sent, I had to call the vet to euthanize my two old horses a week or so ago and it's kind of messed with my head. They've been part of our family for twenty years but due to age and health problems that only get worse in summer, it became the kindest thing to do......but I still feel like crap because like I have always promised them, mine was the last face they saw after a great meal and a lovely day in the sunshine. So I haven't been much in the mood for anything other than staring at the TV (that's mindless and takes no effort) and I did peek at SF a couple times, but didn't have much heart to say anything.

But thank you all for asking how I'm doing and I'll get over it soon enough. So all of you lovely folks, take care in the meantime.

Debby, I'm so sorry to hear that, my heart goes out to you...hugs, my friend.
 
Thanks so much SeaBreeze. I'm feeling better now. Most of us have experienced losses like this and that's the price we pay for sharing our lives with our furred and feathered friends isn't it? Hurts now, but so worthwhile for the joy we had in the time with them.
 
Thanks Pappy. Do you have any pictures of Sassy still out to remind you? I've got a pen/ink/watercolor portrait of our little Lucy (a five pound long haired chihuahua) hanging in the hall. I think of all the dogs we've had, she is my all time love (as mutties go that is). She passed on about five years ago and like you, I still get a little catch in my throat when I think about her and the sweet, silly things she got into :love_heart:

Yesterday I talked to my mom (who has no pets) and without elaborating had to say that Ambra and Sierra were gone and she began to justify never having had pets, how you have to suffer with the loss when that time comes, blah, blah, blah and I just kind of changed the subject. But later I thought, you might not have to feel their loss, but you also won't have all those lovely memories that make life richer you know.

Like one thing I think about with Lucy every time is how I used to dump out the clean clothes basket onto the carpeted bedroom floor to sort and fold it, and she'd always come bouncing in, land on the top of the pile with her little pink tongue hanging out in a little doggy grin and I'd gather up a bunch of the clothes, roll her up in them and tumble her gently in the pile. She absolutely loved that and was so adorable! I'll bet you've got a memory or two like that as do all us pet 'momma's and papa's'.
