Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

By Staff, 08/28/17 7:38 AM

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day on August 28 sets aside a day to remember the pet companions we’ve lost.

The death of a pet, whether furry, feathered or an uncommon variety, we feel the loss deeply.  They become family and a familiar part of our lives.  Mourning their death is different for everyone and Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day provides a way to help heal the ache of loss.

Celebrate the home you provided and the joy your beloved pet brought you in return.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Take time to enjoy memories of your pet.  Look through pictures. Consider a visit to an animal shelter if you feel ready.  Volunteering time may help the adjustment.  Use #RainbowBridgeRemembranceDay to share on social media.

HISTORY
