FAREWELL, OLD FRIEND

We take pets into our homes and hearts knowing we probably will outlive them. When a beloved pet dies, it can be every bit as traumatic and painful as losing a family member. Grieving is normal, but it may be difficult to describe how you are feeling, especially to those who do not own a pet.

Fortunately, Cornerstone Hospice now offers group gatherings for those who have lost a furry friend. These sessions allow participants to talk with others who are also grieving over the loss of a pet and to begin their journey toward healing. A hospice bereavement counselor leads the session.

The class is held on Wednesdays at 10a.m. at 2445 Lane Park Road in Tavares. For more information, call Peggy Sredl at 352.742.6812.

Tips For Coping With The Loss Of A Pet

• Your grief is yours, so don’t let anyone tell you how to feel. Only you can know when it is time to “move on” or “get over it.” Feel whatever you feel without embarrassment or judgment.

• Try contacting others who have lost pets. Search for pet loss support groups and online message boards.

• Create a legacy for your pet by planting a tree in its memory, compiling a photo album, or openly talking about your favorite memories of your pet.

• Look after yourself. Losing a pet can be taxing on your physical and emotional health. Be sure to eat healthy, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.

DO YOU REMEMBER?

Last summer, a photograph of John Unger and his beloved dog Schoep swimming in Lake Superior to relieve the dog’s arthritic body went viral and touched the hearts of many Americans. So much so that people from all parts of the country sent Unger thousands of dollars so Schoep could receive effective treatment. Unger recently announced on Facebook that his 20-yearold canine friend passed away. The post received more than 33,000 likes.
