For many people, losing a pet is like losing a best friend.

For many people, losing a pet can be a very difficult time.  Sending a pet sympathy card to your friend with the perfect sympathy wording for the loss of a pet is a must.  Not only will it honor their “best friend” but it will also make them feel that they aren’t crazy for loving their pet so much.

Whether you are a pet lover or not, here are some ideas for words of comfort to include in a pet sympathy card during this tough time for you friend.  Love is love.  It doesn’t matter if you choose to love a cat, dog or parakeet.  At the end of the day it is about all the smiles you provide to your loved ones.

If you’re looking for the right words to include in a pet sympathy card, try some of these suggestions courtesy of sympathy-sayings-quotes-and-phrases.com.

Some more helpful hints….

• Share memories- Let them discuss and ask them to share happy memories with their pet.
• Send a sympathy basket- Let your friend who is grieving know you care shows support.
• Encourage them to open up- Keeping the pain inside will make the healing process last even longer. Listen to what they have to say.
• Support Group- Sometimes friends are not enough and they might need to share with people who are experiencing the same loss.
• Help out- Lend your help in any area they may need it.

It's important to send your friend a pet sympathy card.

At CardCycle.com we carry a full line of pet sympathy cards to help you express your words of support.  We make it easy for you to send a card now with your own personal message.  If you choose, we’ll handwrite the card for you, address the envelope in handwritten text with your return address, and stamp and take the card to the post office for you.  Or we can mail the blank card directly to you so you can send it yourself or give it in person.

As always, contact me if I can help you with your pet sympathy card needs.

Thanks to all of you for the fantastic Christmas memories you sent in response to our Christmas Memories contest!  We really enjoyed reading the memories you sent in and it was tough to choose a winner because they were all very special.

Our winner is Carole Jacobs who sent in this heart warming Christmas memory with a lesson for us all. Thanks for sharing your special memory with us Carole!

My dearest friend Patti and I were going to go and do up the day shopping in beautiful Carmel, Caifornia. Patti had finished her session with chemo and she was weak and not having more than a strand of hair on her head I felt it would be fun for her also to put on her darling wig and let’s go and do up the day. When I arrived at her house she answered the door with sweats and that one strand of hair sticking straight up and a necklace she had made of the old type large Christmas light bulbs with bells between them on a cord. She smiled at me and said hope you don’t mind us not going to Carmel, thought we would stay in and make these necklaces. I said what, I don’t think I would wear anything like that, it doesn’t match my outfit. Patti smiled with that cute smile of hers and said “Carole sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself”. I felt so ashamed thinking what she had gone through, and the tears ran down my face and I said, “Get the lights” and so we made our necklaces and laughed and cried that beautiful day.

Patti is no longer with me, but I still have her memories of her and Patti’s sparkling lights. I know that she is still sparkling at her resting place.

As our winner, Carole will receive a $50 gift certificate to CardCycle.com.
