When we suffer any kind of loss, there are many kinds of feelings that we can feel because basically, we form attachments. We learn this skill from our parents early in life. As we grow up to be adults, these feelings of connection develop in relation to loved ones, weather they are spouses or children. When these ties are broken, due to death, illness, loss of a job, a move, a major change, loss of a pet, and even a dear friend, and major life changes, we lose these deep feelings of warmth, loving, connection, familiarity, fondness, and love. Sometimes the ties that are broken are sudden and shocking. Other times, we can see that things are changing, and are going in a certain direction. ABOUT "MOLLY & MONET" Molly & Monet, in this lovable book were filled with pain, confusion, sadness, guilt, anger, and sometimes denial. They were afraid of new things, and what would happen to them now. They were afraid of illness, because of the losses they endured. The two endearing dogs demonstrated progressive changes, through their writing and pictures, new neighborhoods, moving, and new friendships. They learned the joys of bonding with new people and (new dogs). One of our goals when we hurt because of a loss, should be allowing the pain to come through, and to feel our feelings. If they are too intense, then a grief group, or a specialist to talk to, can help people come to some sort of a resolution and balance of conflicting feelings. Ultimately, Molly & Monet went through their own stages of grief, and sat on the beach one day with the new people in their life, looked out at the ocean, and said a ceremonial good bye to what used to be, and no longer remained the same. We as humans need time, space, encouragement, and someone to listen. Molly & Monet’s new people in their life helped them go through the grieving stages.
