My heart cries for you.

Thank you, Sharlene...you have been such a comfort to me, along with everyone else. I found all of you when I needed your knowledge and kindness. Now it is the bond we all share for the love of our pets that I have. I don't know what I would have done without all of you these past few months.

You and Lena are both in our hearts and always will be. This has been a really horrible beginning to 2016 with the losses of such sweet beloved furbabies.
We do a share a bond, all of us because we walk the same paths.

Thank you, Kathy. I picture her with all of those who went before her and how happy they must be together again.

Godspeed sweet Lena.

Thank you, I hope that is true. Every time I closed my eyes today she was there. That was so much more bearable than opening them and not seeing her.

I am so very, very sorry you weren't there with her, but please be kind to yourself.

Sail on fast and free precious Lena.

Thank you, Renee...I thought you would all know if I didn't post at all, so I knew you would be there when I was ready. You have all been such good friends to me and I can't thank you enough for all the help, guidance and emotional support that I received.

You did not need to be physically present for Lena to feel cradled in your love. You made the decision that was best for her, at your own expense. Precious, precious little girl. She has always been your angel, and now she has truly earned her angel wings.

Sending you hugs of peace and comfort,
Marianne

Thank you, Marianne...it has certainly been one of my worst days, but knowing that you would be here to comfort me has helped me all day. I knew once I posted that the love and support would give me some peace, which it has. I am going to have a lot of rough days, but I know that my sisters in Cushing's will be there for me, as I will be there for all of you as well.

I love all of my pets, but Lena was my heart and soul...as my son told everyone on Facebook, she was my third child.

Thank you, Glynda. I really want to believe that, it would ease my pain and guilt to know.

Oh Joan,

I am so terribly sorry for your loss of dear Lena and my heart goes out to you at this very difficult time. We do understand the pain you are feeling so please know we are here for you, always.

With Heartfelt Sympathy, Lori

Yep, they are just like having another child. One you love and nurture and take care of, making sure their world is okay.
It leaves a big hole in our heart and lives when they aren't there for us to love and take care of any longer.

I know that Lori and I am truly grateful and feel blessed to have found this site in time. I don't know how I could have dealt with the last couple of days, not to mention the last couple of months, without all the support I found here.
