Comment on Rehoming a pet: How to cope with the grief by Garry.
I am having a hard time after giving my boy back to the rescue he came from, due to our special needs daughter she would spook him with her stimming and he would be terrified, I rented an apartment across the street and worked from home with him everyday to keep him around hoping our daughters condition would get better and they could be together safely, but we had to give up the place and he got spooked by her again, for his safety and our daughters we had to do what we thought was best, we tried to rehome him but we ran out of time, dropping him at the shelter was the hardest thing I had to do, I know he hates it there I know he will find a great place but the guilt of Leaving him there is killing me, I hope nobody ever ever has to feel this way. This article and all of your stories helped put things in perspective and made me feel not so alone, thank you
