Dear Maia, Lucy was lucky to have such a long and happy life. Still, I know how heartbreaking it is to make that compassionate choice. The Grief Recovery Handbook for Pet Loss helped me through processing of grieving my dear Rico. FYI, in case you might find it helpful too. Much love, Hilary

I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is devastating. What I don't like about it is that I never know for sure that they understand my goodbye. Sending healing energy your way.

I took a week off last week and was surprised at how much of my energy was attracted to our dog, Cole, who will not be with us much longer. Blessings upon your grieving, Maia.

Maia, we think we hug our pets, but they hold us, in our hearts, even harder. Warm wishes to you in Lucy's loss.

Dear Maia, my heart is so sad for you. I know that feeling of a dog being a soul companion. Knowing it's their time and compassionately letting go doesn't ease the sorrow and grief of their loss. Sending love.
