Palliative Compassionate Care For Shady’s End Of Life

Shady’s Rally With Cancer
(A Cat’s End of Life — Compassionate Care)

Shady loves the crackle of the green tissue paper that matches his eyes

After chemotherapy for a cancerous tumor in his thigh, Shady had litter box issues. I did a session with Shady and soon after received the following email from his guardian:
“I thought you’d like to know that my Shady is doing wonderfully — completely back to his box for the last two weeks. No more puppy pads, and my furniture is now uncovered. I continue to play the music from his session and give him fiber in small increments. Many thanks for your help.”

But a couple of weeks later: “Unfortunately, Shady’s cancer has returned, and there are no more medical options. He’d been doing very well, was back to his usual Shady self, when he suddenly developed a terrible cough. I will do all that I can to make Shady comfortable until he’s ready to go. No heroics.
I appreciate all you did to help me through Shady’s readjustments after his cancer treatment this summer. It made a world of difference that restored his dignity and got him on track to being a much happier cat. The very best to you from both my big guy and myself.”

Shady’s dignity was restored

I sent a distant Reiki treatment to Shady and contacted Tara, his guardian, to convey my sorrow and to arrange additional Reiki treatments which would be particularly comforting in Shady’s end-of-life compassionate care.
