Hello-
I'm glad this group is here. I hope that as people find this site they will post more comments. I know when I lost my golden retriever several years ago, I had a big hole in my heart for the longest time. It is funny as I sit here now with two dogs at my feet and one asleep on the rug that I love them all, each in a different way. I never gave birth to children, so I have always felt that this is my form of mothering and I understand how mothers say that they never think they could love a second child as much as they love the first. Then the next kid comes along and there is that love again, different but love all the same.
I do wish that all the pets I loved would have stayed forever. I figure they are teaching me how to be right here in the moment.

Hi,
Thanks for starting this group, I think it's such an important area. About 40% of my work as a communicator is dealing with animals who are transitioning or who have died. It's kind of my area of specialty and I love helping people and animals through what can be a very difficult time.

I agree Rubi, I think older animals are extra special.

They say losing a parent is like losing a tether to the universe. I think losing a most loved pet is like that too.

This is such a great group to be part of! I can't count on both of my hands all of the pets that I've lost in my lifetime. It has to be one of (if not THE) hardest thing to go through. I'm a big softy when it comes to the older pets... they are the most special of the bunch!
