Compassion For Creatures animal chaplain Donna Rae Yuritic talks to Cesar's Way about comforting those who have lost their precious family pets.
"The biggest gift I give them, " she adds, "is the validation to feel what they feel and grieve the way they want to grieve. So many people feel guilty that they weren't as sad when a close family member passed away as they were when their animal passed."
