Just stopping by to say that I'm continuing to think of you and Jake everyday. I know how hard it is to bring yourself to even get out of bed most days, and how your whole world has turned upside down.
Thinking of you

Thank you for thinking about me. It's true that it's hard to even get out of bed. And once I do, I'm back in it within an hour or less. Things just aren't the same. It really helps knowing there are others who understand.Originally Posted by babyharley

Awww Tammie
Only true animal lovers understand just how much they mean to us?. Some people can't grasp that when we take an animal into our home they become a member of the family
When I lost Alley, I spent days just crying 24/7 it seems like. I did not care about even getting out of bed to shower, let alone go to work. After that I did ok most of the time, but cried myself to sleep each night for months.
Now, I get through most days ok, and there are things here and there that set me off and I cry like a baby and it feels like just yesterday that it happened.
Don't try to hurry your grief, or feel bad because you aren't "handling it well". You lost an important member of your family and have every right to feel the way you do. Just let things happen in their own time and do whatever you need to do to get through this difficult time.
I'm so very sorry about Jake.
I read through your awe-inspiring thread of Jake's flare ups and your relentless determination to get him better. I know that you did everything in your power, but he is now pain free. He will always be in your heart and his spirit will live on through you.
I know what it is like to lose one who was loved so dearly. Sometimes you wish they could live forever.

I've found over the long weekend that it's better if I go to work. It distracts me a bit. Thanks for sharing and supporting me!Originally Posted by AlleyGirl

Thank you. Yes, I wish he could have been with me at least another 10 years! He was only 6! But I'm confident that I did the right thing. That gives me some comfort.Originally Posted by Duchess15

Jake on your bed with the teddy bears is just precious.
The camera loved your sweet boy.
This album will become one of your fondest treasures.

Peaches is still not wanting to be alone and will all of a sudden start meowing. It's actually more like a wail. It kind of alarms me because her normal meow is just a real soft squeak. My daughter came over with the baby today and Peaches jumped right up in her lap. She never does that either and it surprised Rachel. So I think Peaches is still pretty much grieving. When she starts meowing I just pet her and tell her Buddy's not here, Peach and he can't come home.Originally Posted by Rosiemac

Yesterday was 1 week since Jake has been gone. I cried all night and went to work with sleepy, swollen eyes. ONe of the hard parts is that I made the decission to have Jake pts. I feel responsible and often second guess my decission. I hope Jake has forgiven me.
Oh Tammie, of course Jake forgives you.
Please don't second guess yourself.
You did everything you could for him and did the most loving, selfless thing any one could do. He's not suffering any more and I know he loves you for that.
I'm so sorry. Jake was such a beautiful boy and now he's a beautiful angel in heaven free from any pain and suffering. My heart breaks for you, I hope in time things will get easier for you. Rest in peace now precious Jake, and watch over your mommy.
Don't torture yourself. Relieving your sweet boy from his sick earthly body was the most unselfish thing you could do. I know it's sooooo hard not to play the "what if" game. Jake has nothing to forgive you for.Originally Posted by mzjazz2u
