Editor’s note:

I am so pleased to hear that the Blue Cross Pet Bereavement Support Service has really helped Kathryn. Coping with the loss of a pet is really hard. To coincide with Grief Awareness Week which is in December, we have a feature (page 18) on who you can turn to for help. I hope readers know that you’re not alone and more people, like Kathryn, can find the right support.
