RAINBOW BRIDGE REMEMBRANCE DAY

What's the story of your beloved pet who crossed the Rainbow Bridge?
What's your favorite memory with your pet who's waiting for you over the Rainbow Bridge?

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day on August 28 sets aside a day to remember the pet companions we've lost.

#RainbowBridgeRemembranceDay

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 RAINBOW BRIDGE REMEMBRANCE DAY

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. Use #RainbowBridgeRemembranceDay to share on social media.

I grieved the loss of LuLu for about a year and a half. I remember when Jack and I went to pick up Lola, I cried all the way home from Columbia because I was so happy to have another Cocker Spaniel.
