Pet Loss
Many of us share a strong bond and love with our animal companions. So, it is only natural to feel overwhelmed by feelings of grief and loss when a beloved dog, cat, or other pet dies. The sorrow felt with pet loss is normal and genuine.
For numerous people, a pet is “not just a pet”, but rather a part of the family. The beloved pet brings companionship, fun and unconditional love to a person or family.
While some people may not understand the extent of feelings shared for a pet, never feel guilty about grieving the loss of a beloved animal friend.
