My friend Kathy lost her dog last night. Mollie was 10 and they were really close. Kathy woke up yesterday and Mollie couldn't stand or walk. The vet said she had some sort of liver or blood disorder. She was extremely anemic and extremely weak. Kathy brought her home after the vet had given her massive doses of steroids and fluids. She died in Kathy's arms about 8 last night. To hear the pain in my friend's voice and know there was nothing I could say or do to make it better was hard. I kept reassuring her that Mollie was loved and that Kathy was blessed to have her. That didn't seem to help much at the time but maybe those thoughts will give my friend some comfort as she heals.
Love hurts. As much as Kathy's life was enriched by her love of Mollie and Mollie's love for her, it was devastated by Mollie's passing. Love hurts. As much as I want to help my friend and take away this pain I know there is nothing I can do for Kathy except be there and pray for peace.
Rest in peace Mollie. Live in peace Kathy.
Amen.
