When You’re the One Who Made the Call

No one talks enough about what it’s like to make the call.

To be the one who looked into eyes you love
and decided it was time to let go.

That kind of grief carries layers—
Gratitude.
Guilt.
Relief.
Regret.
All tangled up in love.

You replay the moment.
You wonder if you waited too long…
or acted too soon.
You carry a decision most people don’t understand—
and maybe never had to face.

But can I tell you something gentle?

You didn’t give up on them.
You gave them peace.
You gave them mercy.
You gave them love to the very end.

And that…
That is one of the hardest things we've ever done.

Your grief deserves grace, too.

With compassion,
Paws of Grace

P.S.
That decision doesn’t make you weak.
It makes you brave.
