After hearing about a couple of people’s pets passing away, I feel it’s important to remember that when a pet dies, it’s a lot like, and often exactly like, losing a member of the family. So please allow yourself and people you know to go through the grief process naturally. From the process of grief comes hope.

SHOCK & DENIAL
PAIN & GUILT
ANGER & BARGAINING
DEPRESSION, REFLECTION, & LONELINESS
THE UPWARD TURN
RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH
ACCEPTANCE & HOPE
