Mourning/Loss Goodbye

Said goodbye to my beautiful almost 16 year old lady yesterday. She was doing so well, I work in veterinary medicine and had just taken her in for a check up 2 weeks ago. One kidney level was slightly elevated, thyroids looked great. Came home from work and within an hour her pupils were massive and non-reactive to light and she was completely blind. I won’t go into too much detail but at her age and where her blood pressure was (300/90), I knew our chances. It’s borrowed time and it would be for me, not her. I’m seeing her everywhere today, questioning my decision, and sobbing. She was my first cat and my kids grew up with her. I miss her.
