Dear @kristie,
The love with simultaneous heartbreak in your story about Jordan is truly in immense. Even though she had dementia, this wonderful dog still recognized her human until her last days. I can feel the deep impact that this gorgeous old dog had on your life. A traumatic way to leave you life The feeling of something being ripped from your heart and the proceeding guilt are a very human response to such tradgedy. It’s a testament to your relationship with Jordan that you shared your story here – we are all priviledged to witness it.
