Woody's Gone

The loss of my dear dog Woody has facilitated my inward reflection and thus, the path to acceptance of this agonizing event. The 5 stages of grief is the process we use to deal with our pain.
This is the penultimate reflection on the human condition when experiencing the death of a loved one. I have found that there is a universality to the way all people process grief, and for me, I've found comfort in knowing I'm not alone when I feel the loss of a treasured friend, my dog Woody.
