    Anticipate, prepare for, experience, mourn and heal – the death of a beloved pet. Those are the processes I have always identified as the stages of the loss of our beloved pets.
    I am in the “anticipatory” phase. It’s really hard. I know from experience, as do many of you, that we “pre-mourn” the death of a pet. I understand that can be a helpful thing for when they actually die. It’s awful. Painful. But I guess it helps prepare us for the reality.
    Apologies if I’m rambling, but my darling girl is failing – she’s not suffering – but she is fighting her age and afflictions, and it’s hard. thanks for listening, and being here. Toni
