After a month long series of deteriorations and rallying, my gorgeous, beautiful, adored girl lost her battle. The seizures, most likely brought on by the tumour causing liver failure and toxins being released into her system, became more frequent and damaging and her recovery time longer. She had a good day on Saturday, she was bright and had an appetite. On Sunday morning she had a major seizure that incapacitated her and it was clear that she had resolved to give up and it was time to say goodbye to her. Her pulmonary system had weakened to the point of collapse and she was struggling to breathe.
We were with her at the end, held her, comforted her and she passed painlessly surrounded by great love and affection.
Her loss is a grief like nothing I have ever experienced. My home is empty, silent, lifeless. The sounds of her existing defined my life. The warmth of her presence brought me great comfort in dark times. Her love, companionship and friendship and gentle nature a constant soothing source of happiness. She was like no other and I can scarcely express how much I miss her or quantify the gaping hole in my soul. I am very grateful for the privilege of having been along with her on her journey, of having earned her love and the joy she brought to my life. I miss you so much my friend.
