Hi Ken and Nancy,

I lost my beloved Zoee on December 9, 2024. I joined the online support group you lead and I have your book. Both have been very helpful but, you know how it goes. I still miss her terribly. I sniff her jacket sometimes to get a sensory memory of her but the smell is almost gone now. One issue I am having in this grief journey is that the memory of her last moments when we euthanized her at the vet’s office is very present in my mind. We had her for 10 years (I believe she was 14-15) and I have so many photos but the images that loom largest are those last ones and they break my heart.
