Seth, Nala and Gordis are grief support pets

She lost her beloved Mom to cancer,

and her husband in a tragic car accident,

but even as a single mom with 3 young children facing

an unknown like never before,

she continued to care with a passion and commitment

for all those around her that needed help.

And no matter how rough the day may have been,

she knew that Seth, Nala and Gordis

would be at the front door with

nothing but love, and

that made any day -

a good day.

Dusty

www.MalShies.com

"UNEQUIVOCALLY & Surprisingly the MOST EFFECTIVE GRIEF SUPPORT Change Agent

for Our Family was a mixed breed puppy named Dusty...

After the traumatic death of my parents within a couple of years of each other,
life stopped, and while I went back to work after the funeral and continue to move forward as I was expected to, the truth was that it was anything but forward.

I threw myself into my work, and hoped the long hours would help to get me back on track.

While I was very productive and efficient, I was still not moving forward when I got home after work - There, life was still at a standstill since their death.

Then came Dusty,
a little mixed breed dog that wasn't quite potty trained when we got him.
I had heard of the healing power of pets, and while I love dogs and cats - I was too focused on the unimaginable loss to even consider how they could be of help in my grief journey.
I was wrong,
totally wrong.

Within the first day of bringing  Dusty into our lives, my grief journey was never the same.

Grief is still there,

but there is something about Dusty that has forced me to focus and smile on the moment,

on now, and
to start seeing the steps forward from here."

Emotional support pets like Zuly

He went into shock after her traumatic death and developed PTSD that in turn accelerated his dementia. In only weeks after her death, he went from fully functional, driving, walking to wheelchair bound. And while all this was happening, he had one constant companion that kept him alert, and brought back to reality every time - their loyal ESA pet Zuly.

Boni

My ever dearest Boni died 2 weeks ago and

we've been for 18 years together, she has cancer.

At first, she is a fighter because of not showing her suffering even her vet told me that she is brave and she keeps on fighting on the pain. Our 18 years together will end up in her cremation. It is painful and I do not know where will I start again. I decided to give her arrangement with the help of Pet cremation.

Adopting a dog could lengthen your life, study says
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/adopting-a-dog-could-lengthen-your-life-study-says/
“New research suggests that having a dog might boost a single person's life span. The study tracked more than 3.4 million Swedes, middle-aged and older, for 12 years. The researchers reported that dog owners who lived alone were 11 percent less likely to die of heart disease and a third less likely to die from any cause, compared with those who lived alone and didn't have a dog”

Sanchi

Her aggressive cancer and very painful hospice at home was a very difficult time for the whole family. The pain of those memories still rises weekly, but they keep marching forward as a family because that's what their award winning teacher daughter, sister and aunt would have wanted from them, so they get thru it as a family.

A few years after their loss, Sanchi came along, and life changed again.

Their grief and their memories will never go away,

but Sanchi brought their smiles back,

and day by day -

he is making sure that those smiles never go away .
