saying goodbye

The sorrow associated with the recent or impending loss of a pet can be overwhelming. But there are ways to help you cope with the loss of your loved one.

When your pet - sometimes your best friend - dies, even close friends may not know how to help you or what to say. Those who don't own pets often find it hard to comprehend the loss of the relationship you enjoyed so much.

Time, of course, is the great healer. Creating a memorial can help, like holding a small remembrance service in your garden or planting a tree or plant. Talking to someone who has been through a similar experience is also a great comfort, which is one of the reasons why The Society of Companion Animal Studies has teamed up with the Blue Cross to create the 'Befriender Service'.

Telephone 'Befrienders' are there to counsel and listen to pet owners who have been bereaved. Befrienders are volunteers of all ages and backgrounds, have completed a six-month training programme, and receive calls in their own home. They offer a 'listening ear' to help pet owners work through their loss.

You can contact their helpline on freephone 0800 096 6606 every day between 8.30am and 8.30pm. A co-ordinator will provide you with the contact details of the nearest available befriender. Alternatively, you can visit their website at www.scas.org.uk. The site also offers a range of articles to give you all the support you need at this difficult time.

http://www.scas.org.uk/Petlossandbereavement/Pet_Bereavement.aspx?

It might also help to talk to, or read books written by, those who have experienced a loss or who have professional training in this area.
