How to deal with pet death How to deal with pet death Jill Rappaport shares her personal story, and the ASPCA offers coping tips 2/15/08 Quote:
Losing a pet is a subject most pet owners never want to think about, but unfortunately must deal with at some point.
I personally had to deal with the loss of two dogs, both more than six years ago. I can honestly say that I have never gotten over it — I've just gotten used to it. Even though one of my beautiful dogs, Shiner, was riddled with cancer, and my other best friend, Hampton, lived to a miraculous 20 years old, there was never a right time to say goodbye.
I feel it is so important to let people who are connected to their beloved pets know that this kind of loss is, in most cases, equal to losing a family member. Because, after all, pets are a part of families, aren't they? There are people out there, like wonderful Dr. Stephanie LaFarge, featured in our segment, who are there for you 24/7 to help you cope with this devastating loss. MSNBC>>>>>>> | |
