Dear Rosalind, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my beautiful girl dog last year in a tragic accident and the pain was unbearable. She was my baby and I loved her beyond words. I really know what you are going through and my thoughts are with you. I wanted to recommend a wonderful book called " Goodbye my Friend " by Mary Montgomery (you can get it on Amazon). It is incredibly moving and sensitively written and offers many helpful suggestions on how to support yourself as you grieve the loss of a beloved animal friend. It also describes a number of rituals. I highly recommend it. Joanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
