Good evening everybody.
Today is a sad day for me as I lost my friend Josephine. She left us this morning at 4 am to join our other beloved pets in heaven. I found out a couple hours later.
She was with a reptile expert vet for surgery that was attempted Monday to correct a cyst that we were told could present serious problems if It were left. The surgery wasn’t successful as we tried the least invasive way first.
Our dear Josephine never woke up from the anesthetic and slipped into a coma. Her heart had been beating as strong as ever while the vet attempted everything to bring her back to us. We were told she didn’t suffer but I am suffering.
Josephine was quite the character and so completely missed- I’m devastated. She was approximately 60-70 years old (I don’t know for sure as she was passed to us from
A family Member). I’m having so much trouble reconciling all the decisions I made while I had her over the last 7 years- including the decision to go ahead with the surgery. My only comfort comes from knowing she didn’t suffer and she’s in heaven with the family member that had her first and the dogs we’ve lost over the years.
I know from all the threads I’ve read grief is tough and everybody says it will get easier but how when you have a yard full
Of Hibiscus that have nobody to enjoy them
Now?
