Ugh, sorry they're being so difficult about this. That's a special kind of complaint.
But if you had dug the hole first, they probably would have complained about that being traumatizing, too.

Been right there with you. Have dressed my own livestock many times.
It's never a happy task. It's often a somber task, but practical and rational. Doesn't make it any easier. It's easier for those dong the dispatching to also distance yourself emotionally in order to get the job done and process emotions later.
In helping your ex, you also need to absorb her emotions as well. She's acting out based on any and pain and loss. Let her.
You're dong everything as right as can be done. Trust your gut. You'll be OK on the end.
What if we just re-name breakfast "Wokemeal"?
