Anyone who has experienced the death of a pet knows the grief is real. Just ask Shanie Bradley. “I still can’t look at her pictures without getting a big lump in my throat,” says Bradley, whose dog Ginger (Ginny) died unexpectedly this past summer. “Her ashes sit in a beautiful box on top of our entertainment center with her collar and tag on top, and her paw print is right next to it on a ceramic tile.”
Keeping collars, tags and other items associated with your pet is a healthy way to process the loss of a being that provided unconditional love, according to Florence Soares-Dabalos, client support and wellness professional at William R.

Chris Hall
Feb. 17, 1969 March 8, 2021

By his 15th birthday, he had lived in several states, crossed the U.S. again, flew across the Pacific, and landed on Guam, living there for four years.

When she was in her 50s, she looked for her first job.
I remember that summer of discouragement. We lived in suburban New York where teaching jobs were plentiful and several times she made it to the interview. But they always chose someone else.

Maya Angelou, the great American poet and civil rights activist, once said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
With great intention, that sentiment drives the delivery of care at Yolo Hospice and Citizens Who Care. It is why our staff never enter someone’s home without asking, “How are you feeling today?” And, before a clinician leaves someone’s house, they will say, “Is there anything more I can do. . . to help you feel better? I have time.”
