Susan, Sorry to be so late on this. I was out for the day and eve.
I am so sorry you are having a sad day. I know how hard it is to lose a pet that you love. I have lost both my cat and my dog. I also have an aging mother who I love dearly. She is the sweetest soul and she has demitia. I always fear the day that I go to visit and she won't know me. You have so much to deal with right now but be proud of you son......he did step up to the plate. Maybe it was a little struggle but he did it. Take comfort in the fact that this will pass and you will feel better again.
Some days it is just more than we can take. Like Marle said it's okay to be sad sometimes. I'm sending you a prayer that a nun prayed with me when I had my knee surgery last year. It applies to a lot of things in life. I hope it will make you feel a little better.
Lord, be with me so that I might
not look forward in fear to the
changes in life. I am your very
own and I believe that you will
lead me safely through all things.
When I cannot stand it, you will
carry me in your arms. May I not
fear what will happen tomorrow.
You are my everlasting Parent
who cares for me today and every day.
Either you will shield me from
suffering or give me the unfailing
strength to bear it. May I be at
peace and put aside all anxious
thoughts and imaginations.
Much love...........Lois
