Faithful in FloridaPrayers: 2Requests: 8
March 23, 2021 at 2:25 pmThanks for all your prayers 3/20 into 3/21 for the situation my son J was facing in having to euthanize his dog Shadow. At 2am there was no other option but to do so. I was on the phone virtually with his girlfriend & him throughout the night & have never seen my son so emotionally distraught. He feels like he’ll never be able to live with that painful decision. And now back at home, he’s feeling very alone…with the deafening silence of Shadow’s absence. Please continue to pray that our Lord Jesus would give J peace & comfort. Yesterday was his birthday & he was just totally broken. I know from my walk that everything happens the way it does for a reason that we may not understand, but it is for God’s glory & our growth. J had to take these couple days off from work because he’s just too upset. He is a physical therapy assistant who has to deal with patients , & his head has not been in a frame of mind to be able to handle these interactions. Please pray for him. This has been I think the straw that broke the camel’s back because it comes after having lost a dear friend’s pet last June who was like a brother to Shadow as they were together often, then he lost 2 buddies, then his grandfather (my Dad), & now Shadow. And he saw his grandfather take his last breath, which is the 1st time he’s seen anyone die, especially a close loved one. So I think he’s been carrying grief upon grief, upon grief. I know this year has had many feeling the same way. Randy Alcorn’s book Heaven has a chapter on pets going to Heaven, with Scriptures to support it. I have the book & its very comforting. I’m sending J copies of that chapter. Again, thanks for your prayers. Pet-lovers out there know that these little creatures are like beloved family members…especially if one is single & living alone. They are faithful companions. J & Shadow were inseparable. And that makes the absence so much more pronounced. Blessings to all.

March 23, 2021 at 6:06 pmYes I understand this very hurtful loss and know God is sad as well and sees even a sparrow fall. What wonderful pets He made for us, and I have wondered why they can’t have long lives like us, but feel it is so we can have the blessing of several special pets… at least that thought made me feel hopeful.
I pray He will give special comfort to your son and enable him to let go and know this is best. I think he could share with work/patients his sorrow and most would understand, and that could help him. He will never forget his special Shadow but they will become bittersweet memories, and I do have hope we will see them in heaven. Praying.
