Dog w/Hermangio, Desperate for Answers

[Linda]

Dearest Marcella, I am thinking of you with such a heavy heart. You trusted that your sweet Emberlee was getting the attention she needed and did what you were told by her vet. You did all this out of the purest, kindest heart and Emberlee knew your love.

So much of what I have learned over the last year, begs questions due to those that have lost their beloved pets. I was almost there myself and have become rather cynical and more trusting of my non-medical gut-knowledge – enough to question assertively anyway. I do not now and don’t think I ever will, apologize for this. I am glad your vet somewhat owned up and helped you financially. But no dollar amount can lessen your pining heart – it is truly, bittersweet.

I know you have and will continue to shed many tears in missing your lovely girl but I so hope that one day you will find peace in knowing that Emberlee knew the kindest hearts ever, yours. You were her shining star and her greatest gift. Your love gave her light and sanctuary, none of which she had known before you.

Thank you for being such a wonderful fur parent. I so wish there were more like you.

I know we keep saying this, but when able, please share your story of Emberlee. It would be a beautiful tribute to her and a helpful for other fur patents to know they are not alone in their pain of loss. And there’s something that happens when their story is told – the hole in your heart is still there, but the knowing that perhaps you have helped someone, helps, ever so slightly, to lesson your own grieving heart.

I think of you both often. I will always remember your Emberlee and the loving heart of her fur mother, you.

Love, Linda

Oh Vally – I sure hope so. Somehow I think so too.

Love and strength to us all,

Dear Marcella

You were such a wonderful Mum to Emberlee & I know you are a kind-hearted, sweet person who loved her girl more than words can say. What a difficult situation this is with the vet. The only good thing to come out of all this is that the vet will be more careful in future with other people’s animals & she must be feeling very guilty. It is a good thing that someone professional can admit to making a mistake. But this doesn’t help you, I know, Marcella. I can’t even imagine how upsetting this has been. You must be feeling very low & I’m sorry this has happened.

Please know I think about you an awful lot. I know your heart is broken & I am glad you have stayed on here with us. We will always be here for you when you need us.

Much love, Sheena

Dear Marcella

I can’t imagine how this news from the vet has made you feel. It sure sounds as though she is feeling very guilty. Somehow, I always respect people who are able to admit a mistake, although I know it will do nothing to ease your pain at the moment.

As Linda said, when you feel able to, and if you want to, please consider sharing Emberlee’s story with us. It will be very painful to do but it can be very healing too, almost like a way of telling the world about her.

I understand your feelings about watching the rain and feeling the tears. I once read that “tears are the purest form of prayer”. Whatever your beliefs, I found that rather moving.

So much love to you Marcella. We are always here if you want to talk.

Hello Dear Marcella.  No need to feel like you have to post, but I wanted you to know that I am thinking about you.

Always in my thoughts and heart, Linda
