Happy National Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day! On August 28, this day sets aside a day to remember the pet companions that we’ve lost.
The death of a pet, whether furry, feathered, or an uncommon variety, is felt deeply. They become family and a familiar part of our lives.
Mourning their death is different for everyone, and the observance provides a way to help heal the ache of loss.
The pain of loss is real. As each person travels through their grief, we remember the companionship and comfort they provided to us.
Don’t forget that part of the relationship included care provided by you. The empty space left by the loss of a beloved pet is sometimes a difficult void to overcome.
Celebrate the home you provided and the joy your beloved pet brought you in return. When you are ready, you will know the time has arrived to find a new ‘critter’ to replace the emptiness felt.
There are many animals yet to find a home. In time, you can be their new home.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Take time to enjoy memories of your pet. Look through pictures. Consider a visit to an animal shelter if you feel ready. Volunteering time may help the adjustment.

HISTORY
American author and blogger Deborah Barnes founded National Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day in honor of her cat, Mr. Jazz.
Cats are fascinating and lovable, little friends to have around the home. We miss them when they leave us.
Truthfully, it’s the same with any pet.
