My Grace is Gone

[creekside2012]

Tonight I had to euthanize my beautiful Grace. So many problems right from the day she arrived and she was suffering terribly tonight. I had spent the past 7 weeks doing everything I could possibly do for her but to no avail. I feel like such a failure.

I also was not prepared for some of the "stuff" that comes with putting a duck down. It was a bit shocking and very hard.

I just feel lost without her and having to do all of her care tonight.

Thanks for listening, as that is what I needed.

I am sorry for your loss. Please do not beat yourself up. She would not want you to. Sometimes we show the most love by doing the hardest thing. Hugs to you.

So sorry for your loss. You are so not a failure! You gave her the very best dedication and care for 7 weeks.

Sorry for your loss. You tried hard to save her but sometimes it's impossible. Don't feel like a failure. You gave her a good life in the time that you had her. She was a very pretty duck.

Thank you all so much for your kindness. I knew that fellow duck people would understand, as many around me keep saying, "It was just a duck."

I am doing better now and I am going to move forward with the ducks that I do have now that need me. I hope to use the experience with Grace as a learning tool for the future should I ever come in contact with another who shows issues like she had.

I am also happy for her that she is now at peace.

Thank you again! There are no people like duck people!
