I've gone through it many times and have even had to take care of it myself. It's hard, but is the greatest gift we can give a devoted friend. The process itself is painless for the animal. They simply drift away. We are facing it again with our oldest and dearest cat. She isn't ready yet, but will let us know when it's time.
Having said that, hang in there and maybe it won't be necessary. Good luck
