Farewelling our Pets

“The bond with a dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth can ever be.”

Konrad Lorenz

“Most of us share an intense love and bond with our animal companions, so it’s natural to feel devastated by feelings of grief and sadness when a cherished pet dies. The pain of loss can often feel overwhelming and trigger all sorts of painful and difficult emotions. While some people may not understand the depth of feeling you had for your pet, you should never feel guilty or ashamed about grieving for an animal friend. Instead, use these healthy ways to cope with your loss, comfort yourself and others, and begin the process of moving on.”

See this great ‘Help Guide’ to understand the enormity and profound impact that the loss of a pet has on us all, including tips for seniors and children who are grieving.
