found her true calling in her 
work as a hospital chaplain and 
by leading the pet loss support 
group. The book, published in 
May, is her first. 
“This book is a love letter 
for anyone who might grieve 
the death of their animal com-
panion in isolation — to learn 
that they are not alone,
” Golden 
Moore says. “I want people to 
know that healing is possible.
”

MONTHLY ZOOM 
MEETINGS
Moore says she has heard from 
animal lovers around the world 
who’ve thanked her for writing 
the book. During COVID-19, 
the support group has contin-
ued to meet virtually via Zoom 
on the second Monday of every 
month. The group’s Facebook 
page is also filled with emo-
tional tributes to countless pets 
loved and lost.

“Planted my fall flowers as a 
memorial to my little kitty,
” one 
member wrote. “
At my parents’ 
house, she loved to curl up in 
the mums and sleep in the sun-
shine.
”
“Today marks six months 
since my precious Irish Setter, 
Mollie, passed,
” wrote another. 
“Of course, the heartache and 
void are still quite profound, but 
I hold her dear in my heart.
” 
So what is the best way to 
comfort a family member or 
friend who’s lost a pet? Golden 
Moore suggests refraining from 
giving advice, and instead lis-
tening with an open heart and 
without judgment. She says sim-
ply showing that you care will 
go a long way.
