Rhemus

Recommended Posts

I have been putting off posting about Rhem's passing because I've been so numb. But I want to say see-you-later to him here on GT, where someone can understand, and remember him with me.

 

The last three days of my boy's life were not good ones. I put him through three days of hospitalization and tests and IV fluids. Days when I wasn't with him, except in my heart, where I'll always be with him, and he with me. I hope he can forgive me those three days of utter selfishness when I thought I could save him. I hope he can understand how much I wanted--needed--to keep him here on this earth with me.

 

I think he knows how much I love him.

 

To my boy, my love, my life. I will miss you every minute until we're together again.

I'm so sorry, Laurie. You can't be blamed for doing everything you could. I'm sure you loved each other very, very much. :grouphug:grouphug:grouphug

You weren't being selfish - you were still putting him in front. When you realized that it wasn't going to work, you gave him your final gift of love. There is no fault with that. You loved him, he loved you. I am so very sorry that you are feeling guilt, too. May we all act out of love. May you find peace.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. You know, we're in a no win situation most of the time. We feel bad if we don't think we've done enough and we feel selfish if we do too much. All we can do is our best and love them. Godspeed Rhemus.

You did all you could. I went through the same second-guessing with my boy Thane - days of tests. We cling to a hope that there's any easy fix we've overlooked. Love makes us do it. If we didn't try we'd never forgive ourselves.

I did the same thing with Misty, and Judy is so right, we are in a no win situation.

We owe them so much and do not want to give up too soon, and don't want it to be too late so their last days are days of suffering.

 

I do believe that they truly know how very much we love them and would give the world to make them well. In this respect, I think our friends are way ahead of us on the understanding level.

 

God speed handsome boy, run with all the Angels knowing how very much you are loved. And continue to watch over your mom, she will need you in the days ahead

Hope you find some peace in these words. I remember reading somewhere that the love animals give is so great, so pure and unconditional that our love must be stronger than our grief and impending sense of loss. Their reward for befriending us and healing us whenever we needed it must be mercy.

 

You gave him every chance to live.....and was strong when you needed to be.

 

Run pain free Rhemus :gh_run

Run free our beloved Sir Snowy, Pip, Queenie, Sadie, Tess & Rosie until we meet again......I would rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose

I know Rhem totally understood. As hard of a time he had before you adopted him, I know he appreciated every day he got to spend with you. There are so many people that wouldn't have understood his issues and loved him even more because of it. He found the perfect, forever home with you and I know he loved you just as much as you loved him.

 

Mimi was probably waiting for him with Em, Bea and Okie.

Poor guy with all those bossy girls :)
