Three musicians shared a beautiful piece at one of the Oshkosh Fellowship Wednesday programs last year. It was a lament for a beloved dog who had died. This reminded me that our pets give us lessons even in their deaths: the deaths of pets are some of the most formative and significant experiences of death we have. We'll acknowledge these lessons our pets teach us--and we'll do so in a way that celebrates their lives, not just their endings. The service will be far more about gratitude and ongoing gifts than endings. And yes, it will be designed for all ages, and all species.
