((((((rhiannon))))) I'm so sorry. Losing these sweet little ones is the worst, but know that you gave her YEARS longer than she would've had without you. She was blessed to have been your shadow and she lived a wonderful life centered in your love.

You're surrounded by love from all of us as you go through the time ahead and adjust to life without Shadow, without watching the clock on when to poke next, without watching her every move. She's released from her broken body now, flying free. Love to both of you . . .

Have had you on my mind all day. Still crying. I'm so glad you seem to be at peace with your decision already. That will help you heal.

Do keep visiting us if you can - your knowledge and experience have helped me so much, I know many others feels the same.

Fly free, dear Shadow, and land softly. :rb_icon:
 
Shadow, May She Rest in Peace. She will send you a sign from the rainbow bridge.

Rhiannon I'm so, so sorry to hear it was Shadow's time to cross. I've barely made it beyond the main health forum recently as life has been hectic so I hadn't seen your last few condos. I am crying for you and Shadow while I type this, but please know that you made the right decision for her and no matter how much it hurts now, you can be safe in the knowledge that you set her free from any more pain. I'm sure she will send you a sign soon to let you know that she's safe and happy. :bighug: :bighug: :bighug:
 
Rhiannon; :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
so much heartache to absorb. Everyone has said what words can express. You and your sweet Shadow are in my heart, and I am sending light and hugs and comfort for this hardest of days, and the difficult ones to come. You and Shadow will never be parted, just on different planes for a while. Flying free from her broken body, she is restored and surrounded by your love and all of those at the bridge, and here. Be good to yourself

Rhiannon, I'm sorry to hear about Shadow. I'm still relatively new here, but your name popped out at me instantly whenI saw it on the forum. You were one of the many that helped me with Chloe's DKA 2 months ago, and I'm so grateful to you for that. My heart breaks for you as I read your above posts, and in fact, it took me a bit to gain some composure to write my condolences. I'm so so sad for you and I can't imagine what you must be feeling. How amazing you were able to be with her in your home during that time you said goodbye. Prayers, and thoughts for you during this extremely difficult time! My heart breaks for you, but I know you will have one amazing reunion someday. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Hugs - Chloe'sMom
 
I tho't I could sit here and start writing her memorial but it's just so painful.
dh made me go out to dinner because I tend to not eat when I get upset. I hadn't eaten all day.
I knew this night would be really hard. This was our best time, after everyone else went to bed.

I had to put her in the freezer , she started to smell quickly and rigor started.
How did they ever leave people on a table for days ? no wonder they pour perfumes and oils on their loved ones.
I had to go out and kiss her frozen little nose before "bedtime" but my heart wanted to open that door and her just
look at me like " why did you put me out here" :(

I don't know if I'm at peace with it yet.
I just know I honored my promise not to prolong it all for her and my faith is strong that she is free, and waiting for me .
Our love is great.

I won't disappear. Helping others was therapeutic for me... as cheering you all on for successes.
We are a special family.
I thank you for all this support.
 
(((Rhiannon))) I am so sorry you had to say good bye to your Shadow. It's so heartbreaking to know it's time in your head, with your heart protesting. I know Chyna and the other GAs have greeted her and will take good care of her. You were both blessed to have eachother, and I have you in my thoughts and prayers.:bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Rhiannon my most hart felt condolences and words do not seem to begin to express the empathy I feel for you.

Norse Legend of the Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge

I'm so so sorry ((((((((Rhiannon)))))))) you were so brave and wonderful to set her free, such love for your precious little girl. It was always so evident but this was the time to show her that your love was so strong that she came first, and she did. I don't know if that makes sense, I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out. So much respect for you. So sad. I will light a candle for your beautiful girl tonight.

RIP Shadow :rb_icon:
 
((((Rhiannon)))) because you and Shadow are such, and always will be, an integral part of our FDMB family, we all are heartbroken for you and I know many tears are being shed for your loss. I wish there was some comfort but when we lose our babies, I find there is no true comfort for a while. But there can be peace and I pray this will be what you feel in your heart. You honored your promise....you love her forever as no one could. She knows this. Because of your bond, I feel she will always be with you. Sending prayers, thoughts, hugs.

Fly free gorgeous Shadow.

Dear ((((Rhiannon)))),
I know that in that moment of passing from one existence into the next your beautiful girl was sending you all of her love, her gratitude, and her knowledge that she will always be with you. Fly free, dear Shadow on your golden wings. All of your friends at the Bridge are giving you a lovely welcome party. They know that your mamabean will be OK because you are looking after her.

Rhiannon, we are grieving with you today. Feel the love. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

In deepest sympathy,

Your words and hugs mean so much to me.
I had a very rough night last night and it looks like tonite won't feel any better.
For some weird reason, i find comfort in having her body.... can still go out and touch her nose....I'm a weirdo, I guess.
so really not looking forward to taking her out to the vet tomorrow morning.
I miss her constant physical presence but I do feel her with me in my heart.
And when I look over under the table, it's dark so it's really like she's still here which hurts because I know she isn't.

My son got a cat about a year ago who has been locked up in the back half of the house.
Shadow would not let her out and I didn't want a youngster threatening Shadow's alpha-ness as most young cats do.
I let her out and she has free roaming now altho' she's pretty timid.
But my dh said hey kitty kitty to her just while ago while I was cooking, like he always did to Shadow and my heart leapt as if he was talking to Shadow. And I keep having those moments.... of , oh.... ( no....)
and a moment or two of doubt, but that's just my heart and head wrestling..... and wishing that she hadn't kept feeling worse.
 
When my special kitty Buzzie passed over 15 ears ago I struggled much as you are. The first week there were several times I "felt" him under the covers snuggled between my knees as he always did and sat up to find the bed empty, which caused more tears. These strong, yet painful memories are a way our GA kitties are letting us know that they are still there in the spirit, and that although we are pained with their passing to another level, we must also rejoice for the happiness and love that was shared with them and by them. Many :bighug::bighug::bighug: and tearful thoughts of healing sent your way!
 
Those of you who really know our story and all our medications should probably have first pick of her medications/supplies....
just let you pay the postage....
 
((((Rhiannon)))) More hugs and prayers for you, I feel your pain, and I was afraid you probably slept like crap last night, and it may not get better anytime soon. I do a lot of late night reading nowadays...I miss test and shot times! It isn't weird to need closure, whatever, or however you can put your mind at ease, just do it!

I know it is so easy to look back and say, if only...But you said yourself, in one your posts awhile back, you were determined to explore all avenues of treatment, to do everything you could for your special girl, that way there could be no regrets. (see, I may not post much but I read most everything!) You fought so hard for Shadow, no one could have done more, in the end, all we can do is our best. I have no doubt in my mind, Shadow knew this and loved you all the more for it. Now I think Shadow was waiting, as Tiger was, for you and I to be okay with the situation, that's much harder to accept that which we cannot change and be okay with it, I know, but I made that promise to Tiger,and now I have to keep that promise...
 
Oh (((((Rhiannon)))))

I am so sorry to hear about your sweet girl. I'm at a loss for words right now and just wish I could reach out and hug you. These darn tuxedo girls sneak into our lives and take over our hearts. Sending prayers of comfort and peace to you and DH.

Fly free, sweet Shadow and land safely at the Rainbow Bridge. Don't forget to check in on your mamabean every once in a while. She'll be missing you something terrible.

Bless you, Rhiannon.
 
(((((Rhiannon)))))
I am so sorry you had to say good-bye to your sweet Shadow.
You have always been so incredibly in tune with her.
Shadow will always be with you even if you can't see her.
Many hugs and prayers......
:bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
(((Rhiannon)))
I'm so sorry to hear it was Shadow's time to leave. My heart and prayers go out to you. It is so hard to lose one of these precious angels, as they give us such unconditional love. You and your sweet girl have such an amazing bond and love. Lots of hugs to you. Fly free sweet Shadow and send your Momma some signs you are okay.
 
oh this is not a good day....
I am filled with what if's today.
answering someone else on the main forum about ibd.... and I think of something else I could have tried.
it's probably triggered a lot since I'm about to take her body to the vet. and just that I have to go thru that phase .
it's going to be the worst day today....
