Me too. It can be so awful.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

Subject: Re: Lucy and unsubscribing
Michelle, I just wanted to tell you that you, Lucy and
Gray are in my prayers. I am so sorry all of you are
having to go through this.

Since I last wrote, Lucy got up, climbed all 14
stairs to the upstairs, ate
half a jar of baby food and a couple pieces of dry
food, curled up on a cat
bed, and is purring away as Gray pets her. When
Gray poured the dry food for
Patches, Lucy literally got up and ran over to it,
trying to push Patched out
of the way.
I know she has FIP, or most likely does. I know
there is no real cure and it
will get her. But today does not seem to be the day,
and I do not think it is
selfish to decide that. Someone who can and wants
to climb stairs, wants to
eat (even if not a normal amount), wants company
and pets, and can go running
over to a bowl of food is, in my opinion, not
asking to be killed.
To whoever wrote that I should not do "home
euthanasia," I was not
considering home euthanasia, I was considering, in
an emergency if she gets in
distress, tranquilizing her until a vet could come
or we could get to a vet. i did
that with Simon and he immediately slept and
actually died in his sleep before
we needed to. But it was not intended as euthanasia.
I and several others on
the list have also used oral valium to ease
passings, and it has done so. I
do not think this is irrational.
I stopped reading posts after that and just deleted,
to whoever wrote
something in the subject line about allowing
suffering. Given that I had just come
downstairs from Lucy's little trek and eating spree,
it seemed too
ridiculous to read.
This list has been a godsend for me at times, and I
have made friendships
with a few of you that I hope to continue offline
from the group. But this
group is not helping me right now and is actually
upsetting me quite a bit. So I
am unsubscribing. Nina and Hideyo, I hope to stay
in touch with you
individually, and anyone else who actually wants to,
and to share ideas and
emotional support. But I am done with the group.
Michelle
