Oh, I wondered if it was that type of spread. :heart:
I hope that I won't have a need for this, for a while yet.
 

MissJo

I hope you don't either, that is, hands down, the hardest decision any pet owner can make. I kind of made this spread to help the owners with that decision.

I tried it out yesterday... an hour before I had to put my rat to sleep. Everything considered, I was pleased with the results. It did it's job and helped me cope with the loss.

What about if it is a sudden decision you have to make and don't know before hand?
 

MissJo

Hm...
The only issue I can really see it arising is in7 and 8... I think at least.

I'd replace "before they sleep forever" with "before they move on" in such a case... but maybe I'll make a spread having to do with that situation.

I can't now, out the door.

How the pet felt about their life before they died:

It's pretty much the same thing, I just changed some things around.

No offense, but this is a depressing spread:(. But very creative as well as blunt and upfront non the less.

Golden Moon: Depressing subject. I made it because I was faced with the decision and when I did this spread it actually produced pretty positive results, despite the depressing subject matter. I handled her death A LOT better than I thought I was, and I think a lot of it has to do with this spread!

Lark: *hugs super tight* I hope it helps you the way it helped me. I'm sincerely sorry for your loss and I wish you the best.

What I mean by depressing was when you don't want to think about it because it brings you down. My opinion was not to aggravate you. But a year ago my Father lost his beloved pet from natural causes which hit him and I very pretty hard. Due to the fact that I grew very attach to her, I still could not get over her death. Reading this spread made me think about my Fathers pet which I still have not gotten over her death.
 
Advice please: spread for Best Course of Action? Spread recommendation for family drama please?
