Looking for more answers? Pet loss brings a host of painful questions: Am I the only person who feels this way? What is "normal"? Am I "crazy" to be hurting so much? How can I work through the pain I'm feeling? What should I tell my children about the death of our pet? How do I know whether it's "time" to euthanize a pet? Will my other pets grieve for the loss of their companion? What do I do if my pet is lost or runs away? How can I protect my pets in an emergency? How can I help my family cope? What should I do with my pet's remains? What if I have to give up my pet? When should I get a new pet?

You'll find answers to these questions and more in Moira Anderson's
Coping with Sorrow on the Loss of Your Pet.
