Unfortunatley tysie passed away this afternoon at the vets she was very dehydrated and weak and her kidneys had started to shut down so i made the difficult decision to have tysie put to sleep and end her pain...Its the hardest choice i have had to make and its upset me greatly i`m a grown man and have not stopped crying since...Thankyou for your messages of support and advice i just wished i had caught the symptoms earlier.....

so, so sorry mate i had to make that dessision last year with one of my dogs, i cied like a baby for two days, but i also had to make a bigger choise, when my wife past away this christmas just gone, the doctors asked me if i wanted them to stop trying to revive her from eperlepsy, and another stroke. i had to make the biggest dessision of my life. it was hard, and i still cry today, and will do for many months to come. but i know shes in heaven with our dog, looking out for him..take care mate, rob..

Rob, when I read this it knocked the stuffing right out of me.  There can be no real preparation, spiritual or practical, to prepare one for such a devastating occurrence.

Forgive me for using this open forum to convey my most sincere sympathy to you, but I'm sure that many other members reading this will echo my thoughts.

It's difficult to accept at times that these distressing circumstances sometimes benefit our loved ones, but they do, after all how can we stand by and witness their distress and discomfort. It still makes the harsh fact of their departure however so very hard to deal with.

It always falls upon those who remain to shoulder the burden of grief but such grief can be lightened somewhat when the thoughts and prayers of family, friends, and your other OOF members are to hand

thanks zulu, kind words, i just felt for bertiecbx 550
and the grief he is feeling. and somtimes things are for the best, it was for my wife, and my dog, both would have had a shit life if they had surived. and please other oof members,  please dont tip toa around me im ok, and i know how hard it is for members to speak about it, beacuse its a delicate subject..basicly my wife jenny had a massive stroke two years ago, and was in a hospital for six months, she then came home and i gave up my job to look after her as her full time carer. jenny regained al her speech, and was paralized down her right side, so she was in a wheelchair.jen couldent walk but could transfer from wheel chair to bed using a frame. jenny had to use a comode and it was me having to wipe her etc. give her bed baths, wash, clean, cook, get up in the night usually 3 times for jen to go toilet. i would usually get a break during the day for a hour or two to work on my cars, but found this difficult, as somtimes i would get carried away and got back to the house, to find a puddle of pee on the floor, and jenny sobing. i then decided not to work on the cars   i always feared for the future for both of us, as i know jenny would have got a lot worse in time, and would have to be hoisted everywhere, she always said to me if anytime i get like that i would rarther be dead. whose words rang in my ears on chritmas day night...in A@E i was given seconds to decide. i told them to stop. i later was told by the consultent, if she had pulled through, she would have been so severaly disabled, her quality of life. would be quiet bad. i was married to jenny for 31years, and she made me so proud, and i did everything i could to make her last two years the best she had.. regrets.. no i dont, i dont blame god or anybody for her death. its the way of life somtime. you can always look back and say what if.. all i can say to sum up my wife is i was so proud to be her husband, and enjoyed our lives together, with its ups and downs. so be a good husband or wife to the partner your with, and make the best of life regardless of what you may be going through. lifes to short, to argue. anyway im here to make freinds, and continue with fixing cars, as we seemed to loose all our freinds when jenny had her stroke. people get scared of others with a disabilty. human nature.. so here i am. thanks rob.

Thank you for your reply Rob.  You can be proud that you stepped up when it mattered and I'm sure that fact was not lost on your wife.

I have no doubt that you will continue to have many friends on this forum with whom you can laugh, complain and talk about cars.  That is the essence of this forum - the facility to always have a friendly voice to turn to, just when you need it.
