Claire I am so sad for you, but I am sure you can gain a lot of comfort knowing she went in the kindest way, and that she will have had no pain and your voice to the end, you are very brave..
that is so sad but just know that you did the right thing for your horse, it wouldn't have been fair to put her through such uncertain treatment.... time will help to numb the pain but don't try and keep things bottled up...its good to let your emotions out... (((hugs)))
Oh Claire, Im so sorry! I am very lucky to say I met Cappelli, and she was just gorgeous. Remember that day at Cobham?I know just how close you were and know you went though a lot together. Big hugs!
Another here, sat sniffing back tears and failing.
I think you are incredibly brave, and kind.
My Star has had cancer of the eye, and I have decided that if it comes back, then she will lose her eye and after that............ it will be a similar situation.
Heartbreaking for you but the best thing for her.
We lost one to collateral ligament damage and have another who is paddock sound but who knows how long for.
She is out of pain and at peace now and in time you really will feel better - try not to feel guilty - you did the bravest and best thing - and one of the hardest things you will ever do. You were there for her at the end and that will be a comfort in the future. Give yourself time and grieve as you need to.
(((HUGS)))
oh honey that had me in tears as with mrs m i also lost my ,mare 1 year and 3 days ago and it is hard but it does get easier have a big and you done the best by your girl
but well done for making the right decision. I've had to do the same thing earlier this month, it's horrible but it does get better. Hugs (((((())))))) xxx
I'm crying writing this too - you put it into words so eloquently that it took me right back to February when I had to make a similar decision. My guilt hasn't gone, but the pain is generally not as intense - it will get easier. All I can say is make sure that you enjoy the good memorires because that's what gets you through xx
It makes me so sad to read this, you wrote it beautifully though. It also makes me sad you feel guilty etc for doing this. Please don't, you did the best thing for your horse because you loved her and for that you should be proud.
