Dinah,
I'm soooooo sorry the pain you are going through. I wish I knew what to say to make you feel better, but I don't.
I volunteer (more off than on recently) with an animal rescue group in Maryland. They have a pet loss seminar every month. I'm including their ad by the slim chance you live anywhere near me. Otherwise, perhaps there is a similar program or group near you:
Our pet loss support group meets every second Tuesday of the month from 8 pm - 9 pm at the Aspin Park Memorial Park, Silver Spring, Md. This group provides a safe and comforting environment for individuals who are grieving the loss of a pet or preparing for the death of their companion animal.
Location: Aspin Park Memorial Park, 13630 Georgia Avenue, at the corner of Aspen Hill Road and Georgia Avenue.
PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED. A donation of $10 per meeting is invited to benefit both PAW and the Chesapeake Wildlife Sanctuary. Please call 301-871-6700 for information, to pre-register, or to volunteer with this program.
You and Harry are in my prayers.
Susan
