Compiled by a Veterinarian. Youth especially have a difficult time with the loss of a beloved animal companion. Because often times it is their first exposure to death, or the animal is their very first best friend. Grief over the loss of a beloved animal companion can be devastating and isolating. Many times society doesn't recognize or accept the depth of grief that children experience. Goodbye my good friend. Goodbye til we meet again. Goodbye is so hard to say. After the uncontrollable tears of sadness, we begin to heal, sometimes very slowly. Gradually, as we begin to heal, we remember our lost loved one with mixed emotions of grief and joy. And often times, without the slightest warning, we feel a delicate tear on our cheek. A fragile tear created mostly by love. May these stories and poems provide comfort and guidance to youth that have lost a beloved animal companion. Stories and poems by adults and children, 27 drawings of their pets.Dr. Alan B.
