Dealing with the Loss of a Beloved Pet
Pet loss is devastating. There are ways to help ease your pain.
- Was the decision to euthanize your pet one of the hardest things you’ve ever done?
- Do you have an old or terminally ill pet who you cannot stand the thought of losing?
- Do you find yourself wondering how you will ever be able to handle the loss of your pet when they are gone?
- Is your child struggling to understand the death of their pet?
- Do you wish you could find the words to comfort a grieving friend or family member, but you don’t know what to say?
- Did the loss of your animal best friend trigger unhappy memories or unresolved conflicts of loss from years ago?
No one wants to lose their pet. No one gets an animal anticipating the death of that companion. But the fact is, pets are lost to accidents, disease, old age or they simply wander off and never come home. It’s finding ways to deal with the grief, that will help you during the difficult time of losing your best friend.
