Anyone who has ever loved and lost an animal companion knows the incredible pain and feeling of emptiness that follows.

Society in general can be insensitive and sometimes intolerant of our grief and our feelings.

The death of a pet can be one of the most devastating experiences an individual or family has to face. For many this loss is not only an animal, but a best freind, a family member and beloved confidant.
