Pet Bereavement Support Group
The loss of a pet or animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss, comparable with the death of a loved one. Whilst there is strong evidence that animals can feel such loss for other animals, this community focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed.

We had to put our Golden Retriever down this past Monday, we knew it was coming and she kept fighting and pleasing us, she was such a good girl, what I hated was that we had to play God and had to make that choice to put her to sleep.
I has been hard for the whole family but we are all helping each other to get thru this difficult time, I hope this support group will help me too and that I can help others with the loss of their beloved animal.

Hope this brings some comfort, it does for me
May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I want to go
I really do.
It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day.
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid,
because I see your tears.
I'll not be far,
I promise that, and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me.
You know I love you too,
that's why it's hard to say goodbye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today.

Not goodbye.....just until

We were with our Golden when he was put to sleep, it was hard to watch, but it was quick and peaceful, but we are still wrestling with this decision as well. It comes down to, you have lost a member of the family, which is always hard.
Best wishes to you and your family! You will be together again one day!
