I tend to bond tightly to my pets; and when the end comes for them, it is very difficult to cope with the loss. But, I have found that writing either a letter from your pet; or even sitting down and writing a tribute to them can help and make the transition from having the pet being a constant joy to nothing more then a memory extremely helpful. I know it has helped me get through the passing of my last two dogs.
The other thing I do is celebrate their life's by lighting a candle on the anniversary of their passing. After all, they were very cherished friends. And, when they are gone, it helps to remember them and their unique personalities.

If it is wrong to love you, then my heart just won’t let me be right.
