My 2 dogs have honestly been life savers to me. They have made the difference of me coming home to a house of 4 last year to an empty house now. But I walk in the front door and they are there every night with unconditional love. I would recommend a pet to ANYONE who is in bereavement. They are such a huge comfort.
