If you have ever loved a dog, cat, hamster, rabbit, horse, etc., and had to face their end of life, there is a good chance you have perhaps waited longer than you should have to say goodbye. If when looking back you think that you should have made the decision sooner, keep in mind that your love for your companion is why you held off.

“You provided love and care for your pet throughout your time together. If you feel in hindsight that you waited too long to say goodbye, you only did so from a place of love and good intentions. You would never have chosen to let your pet suffer.”

This quote is from the article I have linked to below. The Ralph Site is a great online resource for grief support.

WHEN YOU FEEL YOU WAITED TOO LONG TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR PET

Losing a beloved pet is an incredibly difficult experience, whatever the circumstances, but how do you come to terms with the belief that you waited too long to say goodbye?

People often talk about their worries around euthanasia, but it’s generally in the context of wondering if it’s the right thing to do or whether they’ll make the decision too soon. A common saying, “Better a week too early than a day too late”, provides reassurance about this.

But what about those of us who feel we were too late – be it a minute, an hour, a day, a week or longer? How do we come to terms with our feelings of guilt and regret? How do we move forward when we believe that our loved one suffered because we didn’t act soon enough?
