Oprah Mourns Gracie

Oprah Winfrey talks about the recent passing of her 2-year old golden retriever, Gracie, in the August issue of O, the Oprah Magazine. On May 26, Gracie choked to death on a plastic ball that belonged to Sophie, Winfrey's 12-year-old cocker spaniel, while out with her dog walker and two other golden retrievers, Winfrey says.

"Weeks have passed," Winfrey says in the August issue of O, the Oprah Magazine. "And the pain has not subsided. Every time I think about it, my heart starts racing and I feel like I just got stabbed in the chest." With Gracie's passing, she says it's given her a life lesson: Enjoy life but remember to slow down, too. We feel for you Oprah!
