Anticipatory Grief: Coping
Tip 5. Create memories.
Sometimes people struggle with the idea of taking photos of their ailing pet. But there are other ways to create memories. Indulging your friend with special treats and outings can help ease these difficult days for both of you, leaving you with cherished memories. You could even make a “bucket list.”
Have you done anything special with a beloved pet who passed or do you have some plans for making your pets last days special?
When I knew that I was going to have to say goodbye to my beloved Dolly – we had a “Party” with yummy food for the volunteers who were here and treats for the dogs. We made two Pavers with her Paw Prints and decorated them, took pictures, took her out to play fetch with her Kong, then snuggled in bed with her while Dr. Neville and Gail helped her to pass.
