How Do I Grieve? - Nancy Piper
What is normal grief? Is the
way I feel wrong? What
should I do? What should I
expect?
Your beloved pet, friend, com-
panion, fur baby has died.
You are grieving. You are
probably astounded by the
intensity of your grief. Be
assured that grief over the
death of a pet is not immature,
crazy or overly sentimental. It
is normal, natural and proper
to grieve after the death of
someone you love. When you
love deeply, you grieve deep-
ly.
Allow yourself to feel all your
emotions over a period of
time. To deny or repress your
grief would be to devalue the
love your companion animal
brought into your life. When
grief is freely expressed, the
healing time is generally
greatly reduced. It is okay to
cry, it is okay to ask questions,
it is ok to view the body, it is
okay to reminisce about your
pet’s life.
There are many emotions in-
volved with the grief process.
One is the feeling of shock
and disbelief. You are numb,
can’t think, don’t know what
to do. Denial is similar to this.
You can’t believe your baby
died. You think when you get
home, your loved one will be
at the door or on the back of
the couch to greet you. But
when you get home, your pet
isn’t there. It dawns on you
that this is real. Your pet real-
ly is dead. You are not hallu-
cinating or having a night-
mare.
Another emotion is anger. We
humans like to be in control.
When your pet dies, you have
lost control. Therefore, you
may get angry. You might
strike out verbally at anyone
who is convenient. Anger

Homeless People’s Pet Food Project Can You Help? Donations are lowest in the summer & fall
Thousands of organizations are seeking dona-
tions for the less fortunate. Think of the com-
panion pets of the homeless, they are as de-
prived as the people who care for them. These
pets provide comfort and companionship to
the homeless. Rolling Acres Memorial Gar-
dens for Pets is seeking donations of pet food,
toys, leashes, collars, blankets, and pet beds.
You can help. Has your pet outgrown a collar
or leash? Has his diet changed and you have
an open bag of pet food you won’t use or one
your pet doesn’t like? Tape up the open bag
of pet food and bring it to Rolling Acres. Your
donations will be distributed to the homeless
in the community. In September 2001, Roll-
ing Acres Memorial Gardens for Pets started
soliciting contributions for homeless people's
pets, either pet food or money for pet
food. This was after it came to Nancy Piper's
attention that many homeless people also have
pets. Some of their concerns are food for their
pets, vet care, and the after-life care of their
pets! We will also take blankets, towels, or
clothing to them along with the pet food. If
you have anything to donate, just bring it to us,
and we'll deliver it for you. In 2017, with the
generous and overwhelming assistance of the
community, Rolling Acres Memorial Gardens
for Pets provided 3166 pounds of dry pet food,
468 cans of canned pet food, cat and dog
treats, as well as pet beds, pet carriers, toys,
collars, leashes, pet brushes, and combs to
Homeless People’s Pets. The need for this
support has been increasing in recent
months. Rolling Acres thanks the public for
their help in this year-round project. Uplift
Organization is the primary benefactor of the
pet food and supplies. We also supply the Red
Cross with pet food.

Millennials are having a love affair with
pets — so much so that they're often put-
ting their furry friends' needs at the top of
their list when shopping for a home.
Luxury landlords have been catering to
this millennial trend for years, putting in
dog runs on rental tower roofs and pet sa-
lons off lobbies. Now more millennials are
buying homes, and seeking the same
amenities.
A full 73 percent of millennials currently
own a pet, according to the American Pet
Products Association. That is a larger share
than any other demographic. For buyers it's
even bigger. A whopping
89 percent of millennials
who bought a home so far
this year own a pet, accord-
ing to Realtor.com.
Thirty-one-year-old Jessica
Evans lives in a single-
family row house in Wash-
ington, D.C., with Lucy, a
dog, and Casper, a cat. She
calls them her "fur chil-
dren."
"I don't have kids, and I've
intentionally decided that
while I want to have kids
one day, I'm not at that point in my life,
and I think a lot of millennials here in D.C.
are kind of in that same boat, but you still
enjoy having something to take care of,"
she said, feeding Lucy some treats. But
taking care of her pets, especially Lucy,
meant selling her condo and buying a sin-
gle-family home.
"I loved living in the downtown area in a
condo. It was great, very convenient, I
didn't have housework, but the one thing
that was really missing was my dog's hap-
piness," said Evans.
Keeping pets happy appears to be a millen-
nial priority. For this demographic, 79 per-
cent of pet-owning homebuyers who
closed on a property this year said they
would pass up an otherwise perfect home
if it didn't meet the needs of their pets,
according to a Realtor.com survey.
Evans knows this firsthand, because she is
also a real estate agent with mostly millen-
nial clients. On their wish lists: first and
foremost, outdoor space — a yard or at
least a park within walking distance.
"The big thing with cats is where is their
litter box going to go? I think with any
house or condo, that's a big decision," she
added.
And owners with older pets often have
concerns about stairs. More affluent buyers
want a dog grooming station in the mud
room. Also, being near pet-friendly restau-
rants and pet supply stores is a big plus,
especially for young urban buyers who
might not have a car.
And once millennials purchase a home,
they often put big bucks into upgrades for
their pets. Evans put $12,000 into her row
house, adding a higher fence so her pets
couldn't jump out and other pets couldn't
jump in. She also added a modern pet door
and renovated the basement bathroom for
Lucy, even though the base-
ment itself is unfinished.
"I wanted her to have her
own shower so that I would-
n't have to clean mine after
washing her in it," said Ev-
ans.
She just wanted her house
to be pet-friendly overall,
not just for herself but for
her friends, most of whom
also have pets.
"I think I tend to connect
more with other people with
pets because we can do pet-
friendly things together," said Evans, add-
ing that some of her clients who don't have
pets are also interested in pet amenities
because they've been waiting to own a
house first, so they can get a pet.

Save Cans to Help Rescue Groups Help Pets One of our community service projects is
saving clean aluminum beverage cans only
(pet food or other cans
will not be accepted by
the recycling center) to
recycle by selling them to
help raise money for our
local animal rescue
groups. We admire the
rescue groups for all they
do for the animals. It takes a lot of dedica-
tion and passion to do what they do. This is
one way we can help them.
Please bring your aluminum drink cans to us.
We will take them to recycle and donate the
money to a different rescue group in turn. It
doesn't matter how many you bring - even
one will do - they all add up to help! We also
have a Donation Jar for the current rescue
group in our lobby.
Rolling Acres raised $5,458 from the sale of
cans from Memorial Day 2007 through De-
cember 2017, with the help of our friends
and families. Our current recipient is NAWS
Northland Animal Welfare Society.
People are constantly bringing us cans, even
leaving bags of cans outside our front door
when we're closed! We love it!
Thanks for helping us help people help pets.
Feature Fund Update
3
Our Feature Fund is a program we set up,
strictly on a donation basis, for the beauti-
fication of the cemetery. Rolling Acres
contributes an amount equal to that which
is donated. You may contribute to our
Feature Fund for new trees, flowers and
other beautification items.
We usually have special Feature Fund
Projects in progress. Right now, we have:
The Lake Feature Fund for the beautifica-
tion of the lake: the waterfall, the rock
around the lake, and the fountain. We have
already done this, but appreciate donations
to help.
We have the “Angel with Pet” , a bronze
statue of an Angel cuddling a pet, which
we’ve had on our Feature Fund Projects
for some time. It is in front of the office.
If you would like to donate a wind chime
to Rolling Acres, please bring the wind
chime to the office, and tell us where you
would like it placed. We will hang it in a
manner that will keep the tree from harm.
Thanks to all of you who contribute to our
Feature Fund. There are many causes out
there and everyone has their own things to
take care of. Please
don’t ever feel obligat-
ed to donate when you
receive a mailing from
us. Do only what you
can, for the beautifica-
tion of Rolling Acres
Memorial Gardens for
Pets, and only what you
want to do.
Thank you very much!

MACON, Ga. -- Macon's First Presbyteri-
an Day School Cross Country Coach
Derek Lashley and his runners are looking
for a change of pace.
“Usually the day after a major race, we
kind of go easy," he says.
His team of 23 runners are trying some-
thing different during this practice. They're
running with shelter dogs from All About
Animals in Macon.
“I was really kind of excited just to try
something new," Camden Lashley said.
"It’s always fun when you mix it up at
practice.”
A parent came up with the concept. So
Coach Lashley looked it over and thought
it was a fantastic idea.
“It’s a chance for them to have fun with
the pets," he said. "But I get what I want
out of it, which is for them to get out there
and run and get ready for the next week.”
Shelter volunteer Kristin Wright paired the
dogs with each runner, looking for the
pups with a little extra energy.
“I knew who we had that I knew would be
great runners for them," she said. "I tried
to pair them up for who I thought was
strong enough for the strong ones and then
some of the other ones that were easier to
deal with.”
Runners keep a distance between them-
selves so the leashes don't get tangled up.
Camden has a rescue dog at home and says
every dog deserves the chance to live a life
like a pet.

Pets Can Experience Grief. Here's What You Should Know About It. - By Caroline Bologna, www.huffpost.com
Pets often have special bonds with their
human and fellow pet companions.
One of the most poignant examples of pet-
human relationships might be the tale of
Hachikō, an Akita that was born in Japan
in the 1920s. He left his house to greet his
owner at a Tokyo train station every
evening and continued to do so for nearly a
decade after the man died.
Over the years, similar stories have made
headlines around the world — from
Ecuador to Russia to China — and people
are moved by these accounts of pet loyalty,
devotion and grief.
Though some have cast doubt on the
reality of pet mourning, many animal
experts believe that pets experience grief
after the death of a person or animal they
were close with.
“Pets can grieve to varying degrees when
they lose a human or animal companion,”
Kate Mornement, an Australian animal
behaviorist and consultant, told HuffPost.
“Our understanding of this used to be
anecdotal, but now we have scientific
evidence of grief in both cats and dogs.”
In addition to cats and dogs, people have
observed grief in other common pets like
rabbits, horses and birds.
Not all pets grieve, and the ways they
mourn vary, depending on each animal.
Of course, not all pets grieve, and the ways
in which they mourn vary from individual
to individual. Still, there are some common
signs of grief. In many cases, they behave
the way grieving humans do, according to
Marc Bekoff, a professor emeritus of
ecology and evolutionary biology at the
University of Colorado at Boulder and the
author of Canine Confidential: Why Dogs
Do What They Do.
“In general, an individual might stop
eating or eat less, stop playing, mope
around looking for their friend ― walking
slowly, head low, tail down, for example
― and simply seem distracted and not
interested in doing much,” he said. “One of
the dogs with whom I shared my home
went from being a hyperplayful social
butterfly and nonstop eater to a laid back
and lethargic dog who stopped eating for
two days after his dog friend died.”
Mornement echoed Bekoff, saying that
behavioral changes are the most obvious
signs of grief in pets.
“Grieving pets may lose their appetite,
constantly check the places their
companion used to sleep and relax, solicit
more attention and affection, whine or
meow more and sleep more than usual.
Cats and dogs actually grieve in a very
similar way,” she said.
Still, we can’t fully
equate human and pet
responses to loss.
Bekoff said the dog in
his home began
exhibiting normal
behavior again after
only about four days.
Grieving pets can lose
their appetite, and their
energy level can drop.
Kirstin McMillan, a
third-generation animal
trainer based in Los
Angeles, told HuffPost
that animals that
experience loss and grief more tend to be
those with complex social structures like
primates, elephants and dogs.
In the case of dogs, the level of grief can
vary, depending on how bonded a dog was
to the person or fellow animal that died.
Littermates or dogs that have been with the
deceased individual from puppyhood are
more likely to go through withdrawal.
“The dog acts sad. They’ll mope around
the house and have a sad look on their
face,” she said. “Their energy is pale and
gray, as opposed to vibrant and lively the
way a dog should be. They won’t play as
much.”
Because many senior citizens are retired or
widowed, they tend to spend a lot of time
with their dogs, McMillan added. As a
result, these pets may feel the loss more
deeply. “It’s like that dog’s whole world is
taken away,” she explained.
In the case of cats, grief can manifest in
similar ways. “They can withdraw, they
can take it out on a companion cat, or they
can be aggressive with their caregiver,”
Carole Wilbourn, a cat therapist based in
New York, told HuffPost, adding that cats
have been known to stop eating or become
destructive after a loss.
“They can also get ill. Maybe all the
tension will well up in their bladder, and
they’ll start not using the litter box,” she
added. “A lot of separation anxiety can
really build up so that a behavioral or
emotional issue can trigger a medical
problem. Or if they already had an existing
condition, that could intensify.”
Cat therapist Carole Wilbourn said of
grieving felines, “They can withdraw, they
can take it out on a companion cat, or they
can be aggressive with their caregiver.”
For people looking to help a pet get
through grief, there are a few possible
approaches.
Wilbourn said she tells cat owners to focus
on nurturing themselves through the loss
and work to create a healing and happy

Rolling Acres is a cemetery . . . a beautiful place where people can come and remember, a place where you can sit on a bench and
watch the ducks and the geese and the birds, enjoying the peace and quiet. . . Regardless of whether your pet came to us for commu-
nal cremation or burial, you know he/she is at a cemetery, one of the best in the country, a sacred place of beauty and tranquility.
Love is undisguised here.
REMINDER: Please limit the number of flowers you place on your graves, as our grounds crew does move the flowers and other
grave decorations every week, when they mow. Also, please do not place breakable items on the graves, especially during mowing
season, since it creates a hazard for our grounds crew. Do not use wires or rebar or nails to fasten down your arrangements. These
items create a hazard for our mowing equipment as well as our personnel. The mowers or weed eaters can pick up the wire and
throw it into a person’s leg. Thank you for your consideration.
atmosphere for their pets.
“Frequently, a cat will mirror their
person’s feelings and actions. You don’t
have to necessarily pretend you aren’t
feeling sad, but also do things to make
yourself feel better, like play music, take a
bubble bath, do yoga or
meditate,” she suggested.
Wilbourn also recommended
telling the cat that everything is
going to be OK. “I’m not
saying the cat understands
words, but they pick up the
body language and tone of
voice,” she said.
McMillan said much of pet
grief has to do with the routine
rather than particularly deep-
seated emotions.
“What I do is flip the animal’s
routine on its head,” she said. If
every morning before the loss,
a dog had breakfast first, then
hung out at home and then went for a
walk, she does something different.
Instead, she’ll take the dog on a walk first
on a completely different path from what
it’s used to and then take it back and give
it breakfast in a different part of the house.
And then rather whatever it would
normally do after breakfast, she’ll take it
to do something else.
“That way, the routine is different,” she
said. “The space the other animal or
person holds in the dog’s heart is oriented
around a routine. So when you change the
routine, they’re going to feel the absence
of that dog or that person less. It’s not
going to erase it, but they’re going to feel
it less.”
The Hachikō statue is outside Shibuya
Station in Tokyo. He left his house to greet
his owner at the station every evening and
continued to do so for nearly a decade
after the man died.
McMillan pointed to the Hachikō story as
an example of the power of routine.
“That’s why you flip the routine on its
head, to help the dog be in the now,” she
said. “You want to rally the dog,
encourage it to go forward and build a new
life. Animals are resilient by nature, so you
want to build on that.”
If your dog lost a fellow dog companion,
she also recommended getting a new dog
bed so that the smells aren’t there as a
reminder. Another important thing is to let
your pet be with the dead animal, if
possible.
“If you’re putting one of your animals
down, let the other animal be there if you
have the opportunity to do that. Let your
other animal be there and sit with them
and smell the body of the
animal that has passed away.
They will register death,” she
said. “I encourage the same
thing if they’ve lost a person,
if there’s that opportunity.
That way they’re not
thinking, ‘Where did they
go?’”
Ultimately the most
important thing for helping a
pet get through a loss is just
being there.
“People can help their pets
through the grieving process
by being there for them and
spending time with them,”
said Mornement. “The passage of time will
help to ease grief. However, engaging in
activities your pet enjoys, such as walking
or playing can also help. Losing a much-
loved companion can be a big adjustment,
and showing some extra care and
compassion towards a grieving pet will
help pets transition to life without their
companion.”
Bekoff said, “Love them, comfort them,
calm them down, make them feel safe and
secure and let them know you care for
them and love them and are there to
support them.”

How Do I Grieve? ~continued
may also turn inward, which becomes
guilt. You think “if I had only done this”,
“if only I had noticed that”, “what if I had
done this instead?” Remember you are
only human, that you did what you did
with good intentions, that humans aren’t
perfect. Please forgive yourself for any
imagined failures.
Depression also goes hand in hand with
grief. You might be depressed the entire
time you are traveling your grief journey.
This is normally a time for introspection,
for doing a lot of deep thinking, looking
inside of yourself. Most people think
about what lesson their pet taught them.
Why was he in my life? What did I learn?
This can be a spiritual time. Depression is
also a time when it is normal to want to be
by yourself, when you withdraw
from your normal social activities.
Depression can be a time of healing.
As you come to the end of your grief
journey, you find resolution to your
pet’s death. You have become a
stronger person for having gone
through it. You will smile or laugh
at the memories more than you cry.
Grief will never go away complete-
ly. I say the edges get softer. It is
not as sharp an emotion as it was.
But years from now, something
could remind you of your pet and you cry.
Because of the pain you feel, you might
want to get rid of all your pet’s toys, beds,
and bowls. If you feel that way, I recom-
mend you just box them up and put them
away for now. Maybe some day you will
want one of his toys, a bowl, or a blanket
to keep in his memory.
If you miss your regular activities with
your pet, do something in its place. If you
walked your dog twice a day, go for a walk
anyway and carry his leash with you. If
you watched TV with your cat, snuggle
with one of his toys or his blanket while
you watch TV. If your pet slept with you
at night, you can substitute a stuffed toy
animal to give you some comfort. If your
pet went everywhere with you, take some-
thing of his with you in the car. I have
known people to take the pet’s urn with
them in the car or to bed. It is okay.
Whatever you do to help deal with your
grief is okay, as long as it’s not immoral,
illegal and doesn’t hurt anybody.
Grief hurts. Ignoring your grief, hiding
your grief from yourself and others, just
hoping it will go away doesn’t help. Grief
is a process, a journey, not an event. We
must feel the pain in order to heal the pain.
You must experience the emotion, go
through the process, work through the pain
even a little bit at a time, in order to come
out the other side and be healed. If you
make an active effort to work through your
grief, you will eventually successfully nav-
igate your grief journey. There is not a set
time frame for this. You will eventually
arrive at a new “normal” because life will
never be the same. Be kind to yourself. Be
patient with yourself. Be assured that what
you are feeling is normal. Never pretend
your heart isn’t broken. Do what feels right
to you; there is not a wrong way and a right
way. You have loved, and you have lost.
You will be a stronger and more capable
person because of it. You may even find
another place in your heart for a new love.
