The pain of a loss of such a dear friend is painful through your core. We who adore our four-legged family members are blessed with the ability to make the painful decision to let them go because it is the right thing for you to do for them. My brother is a vet, and the first dog I ever had to make this decision about I called him sobbing not knowing what to do. His words of wisdom remain my cornerstone for these decisions today. Are you keeping her alive for you or are you keeping her alive because it is right for her? We all know the true answer when we ask it. I find great comfort when I think of her (or any of them) I make myself think about a time when they cracked me up or were my best friend in my time of need. That always makes me smile and am comforted that the decision I made was the best for her, no matter the pain it causes me. That decision was made over 40 years ago (and many times since) and I still was crying when writing this. And that is okay, she gave me her heart and took a piece of my heart to always be with me. Lucy gave you her heart, and know she took a piece of you over that bridge, so you are always with her.
Losing those pets we love so much leaves a hole in our heart. They are happily reuniting with friends that passed before them, but we miss them in our lives here, and so the process of healing that hole in our heart begins. Eventually that hole will be a little scar showing we loved someone (pet or human) as our compassion for others grows as we can say I know it hurts, but the pain grows dimmer with time (usually a lot of time) and that will eventually allow us to enjoy the happy memories without all the pain. Will we still miss them and hurt a little? Yeah we still love them, but as you said one day we will see them again, and I know they would not want us suffering here. So when you think of her, think of her in her youth full of energy bounding about with the other sheep she shared her world with and the funny things that made you smile or out right laugh, even if right now it still brings a tear. :(. Keeping you in my prayers for peace and comfort.
So sorry for your loss, but you made her life beautiful and sweet and took good care of her every step of the way. I am crying with you recalling all the creatures who gave me trust and affection. We all do the best we can following cycle of life and death and rebirth.
