You have to post your pictures to a free gallery.

Gallery

Memorial Garden

Then at the bottom of the page here, you will see Select Image from Photo Gallery. Click on the arrow to the right of that space and it will give you a drop down menu so you can select your picture from your gallery postings. Hope that was clear enough, if not you can email me at PHRottn

It takes each of us a different length of time to overcome our grief. I'm not an expert in the field, although I am studying and learning more about the grief process. The thing that helps me through it the most (this is just my opinion), remembering that death is not always a bad thing. Usually it's only bad for us that are left. It is my opinion that once a being sheds the physical body it is not only free from the physical aspect of life but the stress related to being.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, Tiny is okay. It is up to us, to determine when we are willing to let go and accept the loss. I feel that until then, we can't move forward. I hope that helps some.

Regarding chatting, we have grief support chats every night. We would love to have you join us anytime. Go to:
PetLoss. Clicking on the time/day will take you to the chat room.

We welcome your posts and will do all we can to help you with this struggle.

:This is Tiny, and although he may not be yout typical pet (I keep many unusual animals) he was my heart and soul...he passed away last year after nine years and raising him up from a hatchlinng and I can't get over it. Can anyone suggest anything? I am Pagan and have tried pet loss rituals, but nothing helps. He was cremated and I keep him with me in an urn on my dresser. I am also considering mixing some of his ashes with tattoo ink and adding a tribute piece to him somewhere in an empty space on my skin...anyone who wants to chat or has a similar situation, let me know.

:Ok, I have no idea how to post his photo but I am working on a tribute site to him and will post it when I am finished, Tiny was a three toed box turtle.
