Dear Visitor,

Welcome!  The idea for this web site stems from my own experience of writing letters after the loss of Pushkin, our beloved beagle. I found letter writing very helpful as part of my own healing process and wanted to provide others with the opportunity.

You may write the letter to keep to yourself, but you also will be given the options of sharing your letter only with family and friends, or posting your letter online here as part of a growing collective experience. 

Coping with loss is a deeply personal process and yet also a universal experience.  I hope, by sharing our stories, all of us still here are able to help each other.

Peace, 
Sharon

If there's someone you know who you think might benefit from writing a letter – whether the loss has been recent or many years ago – please share this with them.
