"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole."
(Roger Caras)
The loss of our pets
We love our animals so much, and it is hard to let them go. The loss of any cherished pet has a drastic impact on our lives and can be equal to that of losing a human family member.
The loss of a pet causes extreme anguish and sorrow. This is a natural reaction when you lose a loved one, whether human or animal and the stages of mourning are the same. Grievers feel the identical shock and denial, anger and guilt, sorrow and depression.
Yes, it is okay to cry! It’s ok to grieve over your loss. You have the right to grieve because you’ve lost a loyal companion and a best friend. You have lost a family member who gave you unconditional love and acceptance. You have lost the one who loved you, no matter what you did or didn’t do.
Your grief may be complicated by the fact that you may have had to make difficult decisions for them at the end of their life, or that you are not sure if you made the right decisions. You may be unsure that your beloved pet understood what was happening to them.
Grief may also be complicated by the fact that not everyone has experienced a loss of a close pet, nor does everyone grieve in the same way, so those you look to for support may not be there for you in the way you want or need them to be.
