Re: (Pet Death) Feeling guilty about not being there when my dog was put to sleep after all these years. - September 13th 2020, 03:58 AM

Hello Dez,

I am sorry that you are going through this.


I too had a very dear dog who died at the age of 13. She accompnied me for 13 years and when she died, I wasn't there for her. I couldn't bear to think that the little white fur ball was dying there without me, my uncle, and aunt. The good thing was that my cousin was there to be with her. It was traumatic to our family. That day, my uncle, aunt, and I cried for a long time. When I was 6, she bit my face when we first met, and that little scar becomes something I remeber her with.

Even though Misty is gone, the fact that you both love each other deeply and you have had plenty of precious memory together will never change. The past cannot be changed, but she can still keep on living in your heart and in your memory forever. She will understand that you couldn't handle it at that time and she'd want you to not be sad as well.
