I've had the worst experience of my life, Having to watch my pet be put to sleep. He had a degenerative disease in his spinal cord and gradually began to loose the ability to use one of his left legs, his nervous system in the back end of his body has slowly been getting worse and the past 3 days he has had no bladder control and has been urinating and crapping and not realized. He's looked sad and not himself, didn't even want to play with his toys. My parents decided it was the best thing to do was to have him put to sleep. The vet came at 10:25 today and I held him in my arms and looked into his eyes and told him everything was going to be alright the vet injected him and watched as his eyes slowly closed and he was gone.
Do you think my parents and myself made the right decision? and has anyone got any help or ways to try and help me recover and how to try and move on ? my chest hurts lump in my throat and I feel like I've had my heart ripped.
this is my first experience with death and wanted some friendly advice on how to deal with grief
Many thanks
