A few years ago, I went to Flowerama at 144th and Center for flowers for my friend Kathi Ortmeier.
Ann at Flowerama said this:
“You know, losing a pet can be as difficult as losing a person. They’ve not done one thing to hurt us, and even the people we love the most have, which can complicate our grief. When we lose our animal friends it tends to be just a straightforward sadness.”
