    I lost my girl 2 months ago. She was just 5 year 11 month old. She died because of overdose of injections. I feel guilty for my wrong decisions of taking her to government hospital for drooling problem. I couldn't save her, in fact she died because of my wrong decisions. I wish i have done something different. If i didn't took her to hospital for 2nd or 3rd day for injections, she were with me today. I failed her. 💔

      It breaks my heart that you have this guilt and grief. You did nothing wrong. You took her to the hospital for care. The government hospital decided the treatment and administered the injections which ended her life. You are in my prayers for strength and comfort in your grief.

      Hello Eleanor. Please accept my condolences. No matter the love, medical screening, and care we give our loved ones, we cannot save them from death.Terminal illness, terminal injury, accidents, and silent killers, like cancer, are hazards of life for us all. Guilt has no place, but I have been where you are - more than once. We should have done something differently, we tell ourselves. Grief is a symptom of deep, undying love. He has left the physical world for the spiritual, and your loving relationship continues. Love is eternal. I'm happy you found the video helpful. Thank you for watching. ~ Julia

    People say that to make it okay to be carnivorous but GOD created animals first and were meant to be more companions than beasts of burdens, food, or pets. They are companions with their own minds and hearts and should be respected that way not as some surrogate kid who never ages or the main part of your main course when dining. Animals are our friends not food. Pals, not pets, pet is how we show them affection. Level up!!

    “Sweetheart” you are SO mistaken! We are living in the end times! I don’t know about you but I most definitely do Not want to be left behind🥹Do obviously want to be tortured for eternity by Satan. He is already at work. I whole heartedly wish you would open your eyes and ears and realize that everything happening around us are ALL indicated in The Bible!!! This is everyone’s second chance because when The Lord comes again and disbelievers feel His Power and Love you will cry in agony because it will be too late!!! People won’t even be able to commit suicide to try and escape the horror because Satan ain’t giving you up!😱There will be NO escape from him and that “sweetheart” really should make you start listening and not laughing. I would love to chat with you but if all you are going to do is bash Our Lord then I will “dust off my shoes and walk the other way.” This is a paraphrase from - yes - THE BIBLE! I won’t wish you luck because it doesn’t exist. GOD IS fully in control but HE has given all of us free will to make our own decisions - please stop and think about what I have just said. My mother has always been wonderful and the greatest gift she bestowed on my siblings and me is that we KNEW GOD! Thank you is not enough to say❤️🤗

Mother Mary didn’t have enough blankets to keep Our Lord warm in the manger BUT a LAMB came and snuggled up to HIM and he wasn’t cold anymore! I would love to chat with this lady who posted this little video. I think we will have MUCH in common😉🐻

  • @Tammy-n8e

    Heaven won’t be Heaven without all my furry friends. Animals were created BEFORE man by GOD! AND HE LOVED THEM!! They were NEVER meant to be tortured, hunted, eaten, worn or nailed to a wall for “decor”😢NO WAY!! We - humans - started this all after the fall. Sigfreid (sp-?) & Roy always said, “The animal kingdom will always strive without humans - humans (unfortunately) have made it that WE can’t exist without them.” Animals aren’t our whole world BUT they MAKE our world whole!! J. PHOENIX IS an awesome person. All should google what he said when he accepted his G. Award for the movie JOKER! His speech was absolutely one of the most profound and memorable I have ever heard!!! He ended by saying, “RUN TO THE RESCUE AND PEACE AND LOVE WILL FOLLOW!” I don’t give a crap about what others think, GOD created animals and so they ALL WILL BE IN HEAVEN because they are truly innocent! There ARE A COUPLE OF passages in The Bible that prove this! My favourite is Isaiah 40:11 “In HIS ARM HE WILL gather the Lambs.” Yes, we are lambs in HIS flock but so are the animals. WHY would GOD have a pair of each animal go into Noah’s Ark? Don’t kid yourselves - all animals have souls and deserve to go to Heaven whereas 100% of man DOES NOT!!! If your church is discouraging you to believe then find another one. St. Martin de Porres could talk to fish- he is regarded as the Saint for all animals along with St. Francis’s of Assisi! EVERYTHING GOD DOES HAS A PURPOSE AND HE IS A FAITH AND AWESOME GOD! HE MAKES NO MISTAKES!!! GOB BLESS THE BEAST AND THE CHILDREN!!!❤️😉Keep your belief and never let ANYONE take it from you! Hold strong!!! Amen 🤗

      I understand the grief that you feel at the death of your 16-year-old Lab. In this life, we hope to be loved unconditionally. Usually, the unconditional and nonjudgmental love comes from our animal companions. Such a loss is devastating. 16 years old is a long life for a Lab. That tells me you nurtured, loved, cared for and protected her in the most perfect way. Her life was full of love, affection and happiness with you. Though she is no longer in this physical world, that love does not die. Would she not want you to celebrate your love? Fond memories. When you are ready, perhaps fostering or adopting a homeless Lab to celebrate her memory.

    My cat died a month ago. The grief is so deep. He was my soulmate. No one ever loved him like I did. He had been abandoned by my nephew in 2014. His congestive heart failure came on him in less than a week. Even the vet didn't detect it. He was 19. I can't get the image of him being euthanized out of my head. I feel we robbed him of his life, even though he was breathing so hard and it was scaring him. I just made him a Christmas stocking. Now I am truly all alone. This grief is like when I lost my parents.

      So sorry for your loss. I just suddenly lost my soulcat two weeks ago and my grief is overwhelming. I dont even know what she died of . She seemed fine, stopped eating for two days, and was dying by the time we got her to the vet. She was only 10. I just wanted to say that it sounds like you absolutely did the right thing by minimising his suffering time. You loved him and he was fortunate to be adopted by you. I wish I had taken my girl in the day before. Cats are masters at hiding their pain. I have been watching videos of Karen Anderson pet communicator who talks about the gratitude the animals have when they are helped to cross over. She is very knowledgeable in her field and has helped me feel a bit of relief. Know you are not alone . I wish you healing. 💜

The Christian Bible in Ecclesiastes 3:19 reads, "Mans fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; man has no advantage over the animal." It suggests that humans and animals have the same death experience.

    My cat's two lovely kittens were killed by a stray male cat. The third fell off the stairs and left us. The male cat attacked them on two different occasions and killed one at a time. One was a month old and the other 2 months old when he passed away. It's been a month since the death of the second one, we gave our cat away because of the dangers of our neighbourhood (she used to be a stray cat too but we started feeding and taking care of her). Now our home feels too empty, I felt so guilty. What if I shut that window that evening? Would my baby still be alive? I was and am furious at the male cat who killed them but more so at myself. I felt like i failed my cat and gave her false hope of safety. Today was especially bad and I've been crying all day, couldnt stop thinking about how they were so cute, active and just wanted to explore the world but that one moment changed everything. Im sorry this was so long... i feel like i have no one in my family who cares as much as i do, and im carrying all this pain by myself.

    Thank you so much for this video. I buried my Buster earlier today and I’ve been blaming myself everyday since he passed on Monday. He was just 3 months to his 15 birthday. I feel like I botched his kidney problem completely and wasn’t as attentive to his health as to when he was young. I went a long time not taking him to the vet just because I was selfish and lazy. Buster was such an amazing dog and I feel like I took him for granted until it was too late. I keep thinking that he could have easily lived to 16 or 17, if I were more responsible. I apologized to him on Monday and today at the cemetery before his burial. I hope that he forgives me. I love and miss him very much. May G-d also forgive me.

    • @PETLOSSBOOK
      @PETLOSSBOOK ปีที่แล้ว

      Fifteen years is a long life...Buster was well cared for. You gave him a life full of love. The fact that you made amends to Buster tells that you have the best intentions for him. When a loved one dies, we ask, "what if" or "what could I have done differently?" Often, no amount of extraordinary care can stop the progression of disease. God, and Buster, know your heart and intentions. Helping another animal - such as volunteering at a local animal shelter - can help coping with grief and be a beautiful way to celebrate Buster's memory. You are in my prayers.

    I wrote this poem below when the sun came up after I did an all-nighter recently thinking about my cat. After thousands of dollars and 3 emergency room trips I finally had to put my old cat to sleep a few months ago. I still think of her every day. She was an unselfish friend. The other animals all want treats or the window opened but Misty just wanted to love and be loved. I still think of her every day. I called her Dr. Misty Medicine Kitty because she always came around when I was depressed or stressed to chill me out. When I got done with this poem and read it, I thought, people will think I wrote this for a person that died, and I did. I Miss You When I'm alone you come to mind Across infinite space and time And again I find myself deep in regret All the things I wish I'd said Thoughts trapped in my head And I wish I could have one more chance To share how I feel To express it for real And share my love again with you Killing time to make it through the day I know now what I'd say Things I should have let you know then How very special you were to me Sharing your love unselfishly You were such a beautiful friend We go through our lives taking love for granted My dreams have all become disenchanted But never my memories of you I look back with remorse On unshared discourse Wishing I had just loved you more You were always there when I was down You always knew when to come around And your love had a healing power There is not a single day Where my mind does not stray Back to a time when I had you Your love melted away the stress Words can't possibly express How important you were in my life I miss you baby, every day My life is less in every way I'm nothing without you

    I almost wonder if mine had bladder cancer. I had to buy pee pads too. I'm feeling horrid guilt myself for choosing euthanasia so closely after her 18th birthday. I could have taken her one more time for a check up to see if we could fix her latest ailment but I gave up on her due to fears about her quality of life with CKD and blindness and house soiling. I feel I was confused and rushed into my decision. So regret is enormous. I want her back, I want more time. I wish so bad that I had done more for her. Even her procedure was not as I had hoped, she yelped, vomited and had twitched violently. Not peaceful for her at all. I'm traumatized.

      My heart goes out to you, Eyani, especially since her procedure seems to have been done incorrectly. There should be no yelping, vomiting or twitching if the medications are administered correctly. What's important is that you were by her side. Your presence comforted her. You provided her love, affection and care to her old age of 18 years. Many domestic animals do not live that long. It sounds to me that you have done everything right -- in her best interest. To stop the suffering of a loved one is a gift of love that should have no guilt. You are in my prayers.

      @@fae137 I did not state that the euthanasia was done incorrectly. I wrote, "There should be no yelping, vomiting or twitching if the medications are administered correctly." There is no way I could know if the procedure was done correctly or not. I recommend that you call the veterinarian who performed the euthanasia to ask why she had that reaction.

      Hello Maria. Love is divine, and it is so powerful that death and time cannot destroy it. Grief is a symptom of love when our loved ones leave us in this physical world to thrive in the spiritual world. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you when the heartache and crying will stop. Grief cannot be cured. Time does not heal it. We learn to live with grief, but coping is easier as we cherish the memories and find ways to celebrate the love. Many people create photo albums, plant a memorial garden, or volunteer at an animal shelter as a way to cope. Your angel would want you to continue living the best life possible in loving memory. You are in my prayers for strength and comfort during this mourning.

    Could you please tell us which version of the Bible did you read those passages? My version does not seem to mention beasts in the same way as yours. Thank you.

    • @PETLOSSBOOK
      @PETLOSSBOOK ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Kassy. Which version do you use? I reference several bible versions. See below: Berean Standard Bible For the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other-they all have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile. King James Bible For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. New King James Version For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity. New American Standard Bible For the fate of the sons of mankind and the fate of animals is the same. As one dies, so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath, and there is no advantage for mankind over animals, for all is futility.

    I've had to make the decision to have my cat of 14 years put to sleep tomorrow. Really thought some treatment would help her, but some terrible mass was found in her mouth that seems to have come so sudden. She is suffering and the guilt that I didn't know she was suffering so horribly before we knew is so raw and painful. I cannot bear the thought of her not here, she has been my loyal companion through difficult times, and she often would give me her comfort, and still is now, the day before in her own suffering. Such heart break and like you'll cry and miss forever. Just looking at her now, knowing she won't be here soon is such torment in many ways. God bless her, she's been the sweetest kindest friend, the pain is immense for her suffering now and life without her. Thank you for making this video, to try to make sense of the pain.

      Katy, my heart breaks for you. Many health conditions, like tumors, are silent and undetectable until large. Many are fast growing. Your best efforts to care for your cat don't change that fact. Please do not feel guilt over something you could not possibly control. You have given your cat a life full of unconditional love, affection and companionship. Though she is suffering with the tumor, no doubt she is comforted by your love and attention. The decision to have a beloved animal put to sleep is difficult, yet it is the greatest act of love to end a loved one's suffering. You are in my prayers for strength and comfort.

      @@PETLOSSBOOK Thank you for your kind comforting words. I keep reflecting back what you are saying for comfort, but the grief is so raw, it's incapacitated me. All I can think is no one understands, yet i also know that's not true, yet so many think it was just a cat. I started to write this just before the appointment and had to leave it. It's now 2 days and I feel I'll cry and shake forever. The vet was wonderful, but I'm frightened of the memory of the process and how she would have felt, did she know what was happening etc. She climbed into my lap from the table after being given sedation and I'm struggling with that, confused maybe idk. I 100% know she couldn't have gone on like this, it was horrible for her, but her presence in the home I feel I took for granted, she was nearly always with me while i worked. Right now I need her to comfort me from the loss of her, she knew my suffering in other ways currently and I wish she didn't have to leave me. Sorry if I'm going on, I just needed to write this out. Thank you so so much for taking the time to write this x

What a beautiful, loving moment -- you were there by her side as her suffering ended and she passed to the spiritual world. Your crying and reactions are normal.
