Meckie's Gone

[maltesemomma]

I hurts so badly that it has taken me almost a week to post this. I lost my best friend last Friday when my 14-year old Maltese, Meckie, lost her battle with collapsed trachea. She hasn't been well for months, toward the end she needed 24/7 care. By last Thursday, she just couldn't go on any longer- she couldn't breath, she was hungry but couldn't eat, she didn't have the strength to walk. After an agonizing night, I took her to our family vet, held her tight and let her go to her peace. I am heartbroken. This hurts so badly I can literally feel it. I know that time heals but I'm having a pretty hard time believing it right now. I knew you'd all understand.

I adopted Meckie when she was two and she and I have been joined at the hip ever since. The hole in my heart and in my life is enormous.

Nancy,

I am so sorry you are having to go through this. My prayers are with you! Meckie will always be a part of your life and she was very thankful for the wonderful life that you gave her. Just remember, she knows she was loved by you and will be waiting for you at rainbow bridge.

I lost my Yorkie earlier this year and time does heal some of the pain. I am here if you ever need to talk.

My deepest sympathy goes to you and your family!

Oh Nancy, I am soooooo sorry for your loss of Meckie. We do get so attached to these furry friends they become just like a member of the family and the pain is just as hurtful. I know you have a huge weight on your heart right now with her loss.........one I have experienced myself. It does take time but it still hurts through the whole mending of the heart process. For me there will always be a spot on my heart from the loss of my Kelsey.....took me ages to even look at a picture of her. But I tried to focus on all the good things we did together, her intelligence, her playfulness and her loyalty to me. She was a great companion. If Meckie could have spoken to you, I am sure she would have thanked you for loving and caring enough for her to let her go. Try to remember the things she did to put a smile on your face and remember she is no longer battling her fight to breath and exist. Again, I am so so very sorry for your loss. If you need to talk, this is the place. We have a lot of experienced and loving people here on MT and they are very compassionate and understanding.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your little girl. It is so hard to get through that and it does feel like your heart is actually breaking in two. It does eventually get better but that doesn't help the pain now. Like Carol said, try to remember all the years and good times you had with her and the wonderful home she had with you. Keep posting if it will help you to feel better, ok? :)

Nancy, I so very sorry for your loss and the huge whole that has been left in your heart. Keep in mind that Meckie is no longer suffering one tiny bit at all. That may help you some and yes, time will help a lot. Still.......... you will always have Meckie in your heart.

God bless,
Melanie

I am so sorry for the loss of a loved one. I have been there too. try to take comfort in the fact that you gave her a long and happy life. hugs

I am so sorry, I feel your pain all to well. When I lost my beautiful princess Nov last year, I couldn't even get out of bed, I was heartbroken.

Hubby got me a little Baby girl Shih Tzu Cassy-Ann not long after and to be honest, I wasn't ready, I wasn't sure, I didn't want to love her, yet she was so cute. Getting Cassy-Ann saved me, she opened up my heart all over again. I can tell you now that it is almost a year since losing my Sammy Maree, that yes the pain eases, but it will NEVER go away. I miss her each and everyday and I love her so very much and I always will. I am blessed to have Max and Cassy-Ann here with me to help me through it.

I am thinking of you during this sad and difficult time.

Nancy I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your precious Meckie. I lost my Ezekiel 4 months ago. And like others I do not go a day without thinking of him. But I do want to say that it does get easier. You WILL someday be able to think of your baby and smile. Not today, probably not tomorrow. But it will happen. {{Hugs}}

Nancy - so sorry that Meckie had to leave to begin her new adventure at the Rainbow Bridge. She is free and running and playing at the Bridge. Waiting one day to greet you again. I know the pain and heartache you are having. The pain is like no other. Yes time will heal the awful pain but time will also bring back all of the wonderful memories of Meckie that are tucked away in your heart and I know you will smile again remembering those memories. Meckie's now Bright New Star is watching over you.

I am so sorry you lost your friend. I know how hard that is and I am so sorry for you. I lost Sophie last June and I still think of her everyday. I think I always will.
Meckie is at peace now and you did the right thing. I struggled with my decision to put Soph down, but you have to do what is best for your dog.

I promise it will get easier. It will take a long time, but it will. If you need to talk, we are here to listen.

Again, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you find some peace in this dark time.:hands::hands:

Nancy, I am so sorry to hear about your Meckie losing one of these very special angels is one of the hardest things to go thru my prayers are with you.

[maltchimom]

I am so sorry for your loss. I haven't had to go through that but can just imagine the pain. I know Meckie was blessed to have you in her life to love and care for her.

[maltesemomma]

Thank you all for your kind words and understanding. You've done so much to help me through a very difficult time. I can't believe that tomorrow will be two weeks that my sweet girl is gone.

Nancy,

I am new here and vowed I would not come over to this section of the forum. It just breaks my heart. I am sooo sorry for your loss. 14 years!! Wow! I have only lost one pet in my life and that was a cat that died when I was 19. I cried for two weeks and couldn't even attend my college classes or work during that time.

Meckie is no longer ill or in pain. My thoughts are with you.

Nancy, so sorry to hear of your loss. I've not experienced this pain before, and truthfully, I'm afraid I won't handle it well when it does happen. Try to remember the happy times and know that your baby is now pain-free. Maybe when you get to feeling better you can tell us some stories about you and Meckie. Hugs to you.

[gypsyqueen]

Im so very sorry for you its a great loss to loose your beloved pet.

[WBMom]

I am so sorry for your loss. It is so heartbreaking, you did the very best for her. Now she is whole again. God bless you.

[Vylula]

Nancy,

I am crying for you and with you. I have no idea what I will do when it is time for my babies to go.

You do whatever you need to do to get through this. We are all thinking of you and praying for you.

Meckie is comfortable, at peace and happy once again and is looking over you for the rest of your life.
