How to over come grief when horse is PTS

[FabioandFreddy]

My philosophy that has stood me in good stead through losing parents and a baby has always been that "no one dies until the last person alive leave this mortal world" They live on in hearts and minds forever. Just because they are physically gone doesnt mean their soul and reason for being is gone They are there with you through tears of sadness and joy sharing your life as you remember them in good and bad times.
Grieve for them as you would your family member as that is what they are and keep a warm and cosy spot in you heart for them and time will help if not ease the pain make it more bearable.

OP - really sorry for your losses. (((hugs)))

W&R - this has just brought tears to my eyes, a very lovely way to think about it. We lost my OH's horse last year through a freak field accident and i still get upset about it. I think possibly thats the most positive thing i've read in terms of dealing with grief from losing a loved one.
