The bond between you and your pet is without a dou

The bond between you and your pet is without a doubt deep and special. When the dreaded time comes and you have to say goodbye to your furry companion, the loss can feel overwhelming. But it’s important to know that there is no right or wrong way to mourn the loss of a pet, and it’s okay to take the time and space you need to process your emotions and find healing.

Here are some suggestions to help cope with pet bereavement:

ALLOW YOURSELF TO GRIEVE
Give yourself permission to feel the sadness, anger and any other emotions that come with the loss or your pet. Suppressing these emotions can make grieving more difficult in the long run.

CREATE A MEMORIAL
Many people find comfort in creating a memorial for their pet. This can involve planting a tree or flowers in their memory, creating a photo album, or simply keeping their collar or favourite toy in a special place.

GIVE YOURSELF TIME
Grieving takes time and it’s important to be patient with yourself. Healing from the loss of a pet is a process and it’s normal for the pain to ebb and flow.
Take care of yourself - It’s important to take care of your physical and emotional well-being during this difficult time. Make sure you’re eating well, getting enough sleep and engaging in activities that bring you comfort.

Many working people dream of winning the Lotto bec

Many working people dream of winning the Lotto because of the greater freedom it will bring, but for retirees, the reality of a ‘permanent holiday’ soon loses its appeal. There are several reasons for this …

Retirement needs to be seen as a time of new possibilities, rather than a decline in your old way of life. Your outlook will influence the quality of your retirement. A positive mindset and the willingness to seek out and embrace opportunities can help make retirement more fulfilling.

BE TECHNO-WISE
Do not assume you cannot master useful technology. Social media apps such as Facebook are great for keeping up with friends and family and finding stimulating content. Get a grandchild or techno-savvy friend to teach you – don’t let fear stop you from embracing our changing world.

FIGHT ISOLATION
Make dates with former colleagues, spend time with existing friends and identify ways to meet new people, such as through a social club. Accept invitations when they come your way.

KEEP IT MEANINGFUL
Offer to mentor someone in your professional field, teach someone a new skill or volunteer in your community.

@jadeleeashford has been rescuing and rehoming dog

@jadeleeashford has been rescuing and rehoming dogs for almost a decade, but it wasn’t until a near-death experience that she realised her purpose; quit her job and build the ultimate doggie destination.

Every year, thousands of precious dogs lose their homes and their lives. Jade Ashford’s mission … to rescue as many as she can, give them shelter, full tummies, show them compassion and respect, and most importantly fill their lives with love. She’s also dedicated her life to proving that rescue dogs are hidden treasures waiting to shine.

“I bought a small holding in Botha’s Hill and started with two puppy areas and one member of staff. Soon afterwards, along with six other dedicated animal lovers, we were heading to a small fishing town in the Northern Cape, where we were faced with hundreds of homeless dogs, no local animal shelters and the closest SPCA was 150kms away.”

Jade returned with 53 dogs and pups and felt confident they’d be able to rehome them fairly quickly. But the riots and floods that followed in 2022, dashed those hopes. With so many homes damaged, people were giving up their dogs and Jade’s little rescue centre grew overnight.

Finding relief for strains, sprains & stiffness W $Finding relief for strains, sprains & stiffness We all know exercising is essential for our well-being. But those workouts or walks, runs or cycles sometimes bring on the aches and pains. Strains and sprains, stiffness and soreness ... which can range from being uncomfortable to being completely debilitating. Biokineticist Kevin Oliver tells us more about sports injuries and helps us understand inflammation, which is the body's natural response to injury or trauma, and many sports injuries - including sprains, strains, fractures, and tendonitis - involve inflammation, characterised by swelling, pain, heat, redness, and loss of function. Read what he has to say here - https://shorturl.at/oAKT2 Managing inflammation is essential to avoid a prolonged or chronic inflammatory state, to reduce pain and restore functionality. Conventional treatments may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroid medications. However, many people pursuing healthy lifestyles prefer natural and holistic solutions that are free from side-effects. If you prefer to go the natural route, there are plenty of plants with anti-inflammatory properties - peppermint, rosemary, ginger and eucalyptus are a few. The Aromatic Apothecary Sport range includes roll-on, spray on and rub-on products that can be frequently applied on-the-go and provide quick relief throughout the day. The Sport Roll-on Relief is gel-based, and the roll-on applicator not only delivers active ingredients that are quickly absorbed into the sore muscle or joint, but it’s also a mini-massage. The Sport Spray-on Relief is a water-based solution, so perfect for larger, sore areas, such as an entire foot or shoulder, with no massage necessary so no sticky or oily hands. And the Sport Rub-on Relief is an easily absorbed cream that needs just a brief rub into sore muscles and joints for targeted relief. There’s also a massage oil, and the magnificently effective Sport Mustard Milk Soak Bath Crystals.
