Preparing for the imminent death of a dear canine friend- [View All]

[hangemhigh]

A very close friend called a few minutes ago-their 15 year old Kirstie's little body has begun to shut down. She is in the advanced stages of diabetes and won't make it much longer. They are in tears and hysterical-not because she is suffering, she's calm and sleeping most of the time, but they are hysterical at the thought of losing her. I have my own thoughts-it's her time, she did for them what she was here to do for them (love, honor and protect them) and that although heartbreaking, it is her time-I feel that it's time to hold her close, love her and let her go peacefully and with dignity. It's probably not necessary at this time to have her put down. I would really appreciate everyone's insight-Not on whether my thoughts are right or wrong, but on how to help my dear friends face up to it- Peace.
