NAMIBIë. – Cindy (31) het Sondag weens ernstige hartversaking gesterf nadat sy ‘n geruime tyd siek was. Haar afsterwe is deur Ruben Lambrechts, een van haar mensboeties, op sosiale media bekend gemaak. Op 11 Desember het Ruben in ‘n sosialemediaplasing gesê Cindy het hartversaking en ‘n veearts se hulp is dadelik ingeroep.
Volgens haar familie het sy herhaaldelike episodes van pulmonêre edeem ervaar, waar vloeistof in haar longe opgebou het. Haar hart en longe kon uiteindelik nie meer volhou nie. ‘n Moeilike besluit om Cindy vreedsaam te laat gaan om haar verdere lyding te spaar, moes in oorleg met ’n veearts geneem word. Haar familie was in haar laaste oomblikke by haar en het haar met liefde omring.
Met die bevestiging van akute pulmonêre edeem vroeg in Desember het die familie besef hulle het geleende tyd met Cindy oor. Nadat sy deur ‘n veearts gestabiliseer is, wou hulle elke oomblik saam met haar koester. Ná haar afsterwe het die familie hul dank uitgespreek vir die ondersteuning en liefde wat hulle ontvang het en gesê Cindy sal altyd onthou word.
Cindy het haar verjaardag op 23 November met ‘n spesiale koek, deur Laurie’s Cakes, en ‘n partytjie op die plaas Simmenau in die Khomas Hochland saam met haar familie gevier.
“It is with the heaviest hearts that we share the news that Cindy passed away today. Today is one of the most heartbreaking days of our lives as we said goodbye to a sister, a beloved family member, and a mother to our animals. Over the last while, Cindy had been struggling. She suffered from severe heart failure, which led to repeated episodes of pulmonary edema – fluid building up in her lungs. Despite intensive veterinary care, medication, oxygen, and constant monitoring, her heart and lungs could no longer cope. After her third serious attack, and with the guidance of the vet, we made the most heartbreaking decision to let her go peacefully, to spare her any further suffering. In her final moments, we were holding her hand, speaking to her, and surrounding her with love. Cindy was deeply loved and cared for every single day of her life. She will be loved forever, and the beautiful memories we shared with her will stay in our hearts always. We want to thank every single one of you for the overwhelming support, kindness, and love you showed Cindy and us, especially during the tough times. It meant more than words can ever express. We, and all of her animal family, will miss her presence deeply. “
Op 11 Desember het Ruben in ‘n sosialemediaplasing gesê Cindy het hartversaking en ‘n veearts se hulp is dadelik ingeroep. “Hey everyone, I wanted to update you on Cindy’s health. Earlier today she experienced what appeared to be Acute Pulmonary Edema – essentially a form of mild heart failure caused by fluid buildup. We immediately contacted veterinarian Natascha from Windhoek Veterinary Clinic, who came out quickly with medication and an oxygen machine. Thanks to her help, Cindy is stable again. These past few weeks we’ve noticed her health slowly declining, and today truly shook us. For a moment, we thought we were losing her. It’s a terrifying, helpless feeling… even though we know that every day with her is a gift. So I just wanted to let you all know that Cindy is okay for now. She’s comfortable and not in any pain and still want her happies. We’re cherishing every moment with her for as long as we’re lucky enough to have her with us. Thanks for all your love, prayers and support. “
