Losing our cat Eloise has been devastating. I hope that by sharing openly about the process of making a euthanasia decision, experiencing loss, and grieving, I can help someone else who is going through the same thing. Please be gentle with yourself and know that however you need to grieve is okay. Sending love to all who have experienced, are experiencing, or will experience the loss of a companion cat.
