I'm so sorry. I hope in time it'll be alright - the timing of it. I know what you mean more than you know, because my baby that I chose this for last year wasn't exactly on death's door, not yet, not right then, although his disease was incurable. But like your shaking, etc., he was throwing up foam - repeatedly. He didn't want affection, hardly ever. He wasn't enjoying life enough of each day, I didn't think, for him to be him any more. I want to say much more but I'm unable to do it very well at this time. Just trust me I understand the horrible choice and second-guessing yourself.
I just passed the one-year anniversary of my kitty's death - my companion of 16 years and it's not been a great week. I waited a whole year and chose denial over coping with the box containing his cremated remains. I just couldn't touch it so it sat on a shelf. I opened it up 3 days ago and a flood of grief occurred. Probably good for me, but I don't have to like it.
These in-between things just royally suck. Unfair is right, on so many levels. I'm crying with you. ((Dinah))
