Caroline's Cancer Journal - Episode 3
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 січ 2024
- For Caroline’s sake (and for ours), a decision about a course of action has to be made. In the meantime, I feel like we’ve stopped gathering facts and now I keep catching myself waiting for some kind of sign, something to allow us to breathe around this moment with purpose and 100% certainty. Talk about magical thinking, right?
Today, though, I got as close as I think i’m going to get. It may not be 100%, but when I talk about the decision, at least I can finally breathe.

I’m a retired hospice social worker and bereavement coordinator. You are doing it right. Your current feelings do not negate all the teaching and leadership roles you have provided for thousands. Instead you are modeling the truth of how difficult it is to walk this dying and death journey with those we love. If we didn’t love so deeply, it wouldn’t hurt so bad. 😢 I think of tears as liquid love. You are a brave and compassionate person. Continue to do this journey with Caroline your way. Blessings on you and all of your family.
Giving Caroline “Her Spot” is such a loving thing to do. She’s blessed to have you as her Dad.
Jackson, this story reminds me of my recent experience in losing my cat who was with me for more than 8 years....
What you are choosing for your kitty is not 'nothing' it is everything...you are holding her in your endless love for her. You are taking good care of Caroline. ❤
Dear Jackson, you don't know me. I am just one of your millions of fans and I live in the north of Europe. I just want to write a big thank you for deciding to put this vlog on You Tube. Personally, I have learnt so much from your work with cats. I can see that this is a big learning road for you with your decision for Caroline's end of life care and treatment. I do not intend commenting your decision which is unique and personal for all of us who have animals we love. My heart is touched with this vlog and I am just putting into words, that you are a good human being and a shining example of what is truly important in this life. Just so you know. Thank you.
Please don't think of all Caroline's "missed" future experiences. Instead, you have saved her from the constant travel stress, treatment pain and her just being home 24/7 in "her spots" with her family. You are wonderful parents who have given Caroline the best life ever. The end being filled with pets, rubs, love, snuggles and kisses.
Caroline’s spot is in your heart! We see it Jackson, we feel it. YOU CAN DO THIS! ❤
I hear you. I am a nurse for 40 years and when no one could figure out why my 11 year old cat (Mr. Snips) was wasting away I was so angry. He was my ten thousand dollar cat although I would have sold a body part to find out what was going on. In the end he was just skin and bones and I could not let him suffer. I knew when it was time, I cant tell you how I knew I just knew. During the pandemic I called a veterinarian that kindly came to my place in North Hollywood and gave him a sedative and a euthanasia shot so I could hold him near my heart as he passed. It was harder than anything Ive done before. I suffered chest pain after that and was diagnosed with "broken heart syndrome". I've had so many animals in my lifetime but Snips was different. This happened October 16th 2020 and it is still painful, I think of him so often and Im crying as I write this. I wasn't the only one, my only cat went into a deep depression, gained wt and would only sleep. I had to look for another cat to help him. The passing of time helped a little but knowing that I made the right decision at the right time is the only thing that brought some relief. God bless you for all you have done for cat communities all around the world!
We sit with you Jackson. The journey nobody wants to take and processing so much while in the middle of it. Let the love in your home hold you, comfort you, and wrap its arms around you. Sending love to you all
"If you are going to remember me, remember me at my best. If you must think about me now, remember my joy. The way I looked at you when death never entered our minds." Kate Mcgahan, from the book "Only Gone From Your Sight" Peace and comfort, to Caroline, to you Jackson, to Minou, and your beloved animal family
GRIEF is the price we pay for loving someone! I feel for you Jackson.❤
It is cruel to go through the loss of a pet yet we do it over and over because we love having a pet. We grieve them for ever human and animals
This is what bravery and compassion look like
As a hospice volunteer I can say you are absolutely doing what Caroline wants - surrounded by loving humans who will not let her feel pain or loneliness. You've done the right thing, but I understand not feeling any comfort from that thought. All my love, My Friend.
I am so very sorry. My 15-year-old cat passed away on January 4th from kidney failure. I could have extended his life for a short time with daily trips to the vet, IVs and injections, but I decided on palliative care. He was the beloved cat of my mother, who passed away in 2022... I think I understand your pain very well and send my love and support ❤
You made a painful decision by what is best for Caroline. That is the most loving thing anyone can do.
We grieve because we love. I am sorry.
I’m so sorry, Jackson. I lost my kitty to cancer last year, a week before his 18th birthday. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Caroline. ❤
Grief doesn’t end, but it changes. It is a passage, not a place to stay. It is not a sign of weakness, nor lack of faith. It is the price of love. I wish you all the peace and you both are in my thoughts 🌈❤
Taking lots of photos and videos is not at all silly. They’ll warm your heart and make you smile when you so achingly miss Caroline at her spot.
