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.
