Saying goodbye to JoeBunny

JOEBunny

I am having a very hard time saying goodbye to Joe.  I have to take him at 3:00 to be put to sleep.  I know it is time, but I can't help but feel terrible.  My DH is no help because he just thinks because Joe is 13 years old, he has had a good life, and I should be fine with it. 

I just want to curl up and cry all day :-(

I'm sorry.  That is so hard.  Just spend some extra time hugging and cuddling him and know that he did have a good life and will be out of his misery soon.  ((HUGS)).

I am so sorry.  This is a big deal.  I would feel the same way.  Just let yourself cry and mourn this loss.  I can't imagine putting a pet down after having him for 13 years.

I am so sorry=(  I hate when people say stuff like "they've had a good life" in reference to death.  It still is saying goodbye to someone you love.  Take the time to grieve.

Thank you for your kindness. I am sure that being pregnant is making me even more emotional about it.  It is good to hear that I am not crazy.  A lot of people think because it is "just" a rabbit, that he doesn't matter, but he is not just any rabbit, he is the best rabbit ever and he behaves a lot more like a dog than a rabbit (except for the barking).

I totally understand how you're feeling; i lost Abby and Penny @ 14 & 15 years of age and that doesn't make it easier. ?

I'm so sorry.  It's hard to lose a good friend like that.

Of course you want to curl up and cry all day. ?This post is bringing tears to my eyes and I don't even know him. ?

Does it give you any comfort knowing that you are doing a truly good and selfless thing for him? ?(((hugs))) You are both in my thoughts today. ?

Oh sweetie - it's more than OK to feel sad about saying goodbye to JoeBunny.  Honestly, I'd be more worried about you if this was simply "no big deal b/c he's lived a good life."  Your selfless, compassionate decision to help him when he's suffering truly honors him and sends a clear message about how much you care about your companion - now, and always.  Give yourself permission to grieve your loss, even if others place judgment on your need to do so - be gentle with yourself and allow the tears to come - honor JoeBunny in that way.

Thinking of you during this difficult time...   (((hugs)))

I'm so, so sorry. I took my 14 year old dog yesterday.  One of the hardest things I have ever had to do.  I'm not sure this helps, but going in and then leaving were the only parts that were very hard - the death itself was peaceful and the vet staff was great.  And now that I'm home, it's weird to not have her here, but it's also nice to not see her just laying there, with that "I wish I felt better" look in her eyes.  I cried a lot yesterday, but I feel better than I thought I would today.  Big hugs to you...
