Oprah Winfrey Show This Coming Friday, Pet Loss Grief and Support Options

[goliath]

My husband came home today and told me he heard on the radio that Oprah Winfrey is dedicating her show this coming Friday, April 4th for those who are grieving and looking for support and healing in their losses. Oprah lost her 13 year old ##er Spaniel and expresses much love and gratitude for having had this furlove. This is Oprah's second loss of a much loved furangel. My understanding is that besides addressing the kind of bonds we have with our pets and the grief that accompanies our losses of them, she will also be addressing the issues I often hear about in this forum regarding the people who just don't understand.

If you are able to watch it, and I hope all of you are, my hope is that it will be a very rewarding show to see for all of us who also mourn the passing of our precious furangels.

Let's support her as well and comfort her in her loss by giving her a chance to speak about this topic by turning her show on this coming Friday.

Much love to all...................Beth

Hi Beth,

That show is still haunting me today. I was crying the whole time and am still choked up today. I also hope that the message reached millions.

You are truly a very enlightened individual to draw out the true lesson of the show and to realize that there was a reason for you, personally to watch it. I am glad that you are thinking about an addition to your family. I think a furbaby would be so lucky to become a member of your loving home. Good luck with your decision and of course, we all love to see more entries in the New Beginnings forum. Let us know what happens.

Take care,
Stephanie
