The Final Gift: Stories of Pet Loss and Recovery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798399814568)

YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN YOUR SORROW

In grief lies truth, and in truth, the recovery
and growth of the human spirit.

The most agonizing decision pet owners struggle with is the euthanization of their beloved animal companion. They ask:

Is it too soon? Should I seek another opinion?How can I kill my best friend? Maybe he'll get better if I just wait. I thought he would live forever .I can't let him go.

It feels like the worst thing they will ever be asked to do. It feels like a betrayal of their pet's trust. But we can view it in another context that isn't devastating; one of caring and compassion. In the natural world, when animals become old or ill, they separate themselves from the group and accept death as a natural process.

It is we humans that have so much difficulty with this concept. Here is an opportunity to say, Thank you for gracing my life. I will put my own pain away for now and take care of you.And you can do this with respect and gratitude, without fear and anxiety. Those four-legged creatures that have looked to us for their safety and depended upon our approval should not have to take on the toxic energy of our fears.
It's a choice we can make consciously.
It's the best gift we can bestow.

It is in fact our Final Gift of Love.
