((((((((((Nettie))))))))))))

When the time has come for Tebeau you will know and you will cope. It is a very personal thing and everyone is different. I stayed and held Samantha when she went to the rainbow bridge and I honestly had never known such grief. I chose to have her cremated and while I was still holding her after she passed I chose the casket I wanted for her ashes, the vet was wonderful. The 4 or 5 days I waited for her ashes to come home were the worst days of my life but I spent the time making a tribute to ehr and posting pictures of ehr and writing in the forums and for me the day I picked her ashes up I felt I was bringing her home again and it gave me tremendous comfort. There she sits now on my bedside table with ehr photos and her favourite teddy and she will go in my coffin when i depart this earth. Whatever you decide to do will be the right thing to do for you, you cope in any way you can

Good luck and God Bless You
Pauline
