I'm so sorry that you've lost dear Charlotte, Laura.

Charlotte has just passed away.
I came home from work, went into her room and she was lying on her
side, crying and breathing heavily. I ran and let my dogs out, came
back to her and held her for what turned out to be about 4 hours.
She gradually slowed down, but was responding to my voice for quite
a while. Eventually that stopped and I knew she was probably
unconscious. She passed at the stroke of midnight, and I know it
sounds crazy, but I immediately felt so calm - I can only explain it
by saying that as soon as she died I physically felt her suffering
end. It was so strange. I am sitting here crying as I write this
even though I know it's better and she won't be in pain any more.
But she'd been doing so well and eating like a pig. Just this
morning she was stuffing her face with chicken. So I thought that
maybe I could have her with me for just a while longer, and just
maybe she'd be one who survived despite the odds. Guess I was wrong.
I hate this disease.
Thanks everyone for all your help.
Laura
