ITV's This Morning agony aunt, Denise Robertson values the love and laughter that her pets have contributed to her life.
On the subject of pet bereavement, Denise says, Many people choose to remember their pet in a way that is special to them.
It could be a memorial ceremony in the garden or leaving a special place on the hearth for their dog's favourite blanket. However they choose to grieve they must remember that it is absolutely normal. After all pets are part of our family and the pain of loss is very real. The pain can often be eased by having a tangible reminder, a way of keeping the memory alive.
