Saying goodbye to our animal companions

Let’s share our insights and ways of saying goodbye to our animal companions Most of us have endured the challenging, and sometimes devastating experience of saying goodbye to our animal companions. In most cases, we outlive our companions, and likely have had to say goodbye to more than one animal buddy. This can compound the grief. Let's share how we have grieved; activities, and practices that we know have helped, and those that didn’t. Perhaps we’ve grieved an animal who was not our companion - such as Tokitae/Lolita at the Miami Seaquarium. Bring photos or other memorabilia that you can show us as you talk about your experience. This is a chance to heal new and old wounds, and/or to help others heal theirs.
