Ok, unrelated, but now I’m thinking back to when we had to put down our dog. Later that day we stopped by the store and we were visibly sad, but still needed groceries.

The workers were so lovely. One asked what was up, told him, and he gave us flowers and some stickers. That helped a lot. It was our first pet loss as adults and it was good to be reassured that our feelings were ok.

Sometimes stickers help.
