As others have said make sure to take care of yourself through this time, caregivers often forget that part, but a few moments a day just to regroup does help.<br /><br />All the best to you and your mom.Dionnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790236600329504315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137468577960463024.post-55608201370131974432010-10-13T07:02:21.334-07:002010-10-13T07:02:21.334-07:00I'm so sorry my friend...

I speak for all pet lovers everywhere, thank you for going to take your mother's pets, I never understand why people want to put down otherwise healthy animals down just because they don't want to take care of them.... You are kind beyond words and now I need to go and get a kleenex, because I am weeping a little on your behalf... Even if you don't ask for it, I am still giving this to you "big cyber hugs".. you are a wonderful caring person and your mother raised an incredibly strong woman... xxxoooAverage Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171277050030497007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137468577960463024.post-58809873545571701862010-10-09T16:35:41.167-07:002010-10-09T16:35:41.167-07:00Mutter sorry to hear the agony you are going throu...Mutter sorry to hear the agony you are going through.

Good people should always just pass peacefully in their sleep. There should be no suffering, and old age should be a pleasant time to enjoy looking back on life. My father-in-law who is like a father to me was just admitted today into the hospital because of bleeding. He has late stage prostate cancer and we are all terribly worried about him. We run around trying to be diligent, getting him to the best doctors we can find. In the end, I am afraid, there will be only so much any of us can do. That is the cruel truth we are going to have to accept somehow. It is very difficult to imagine life without him.<br /><br />And just why, pray tell, am I "full of beans?"Dan Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130079803891606515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137468577960463024.post-38174444493681836592010-10-09T15:12:45.383-07:002010-10-09T15:12:45.383-07:00This is me, dear MM, giving you the largest bear h...This is me, dear MM, giving you the largest bear hug I can possibly manage.

I believe in doing the best we can for pets, they depend on us and they deserve all the love we can give, and I think you have lots to give. As for family, I went through that when dad died. My two sisters were talking about who should get the house and things in it, and mom was still alive and living in it. Family can be so cruel at times. I feel for you, and wish you strength and love in the days to come.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506141901518297798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137468577960463024.post-55954177859980838432010-10-09T06:39:47.846-07:002010-10-09T06:39:47.846-07:00This will be a tough time.
