It would not be an overstatement to say that our pets become our family members. We love them to the moon and back and they take the most special and cozy place in our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be a cat, a dog, a hamster, a parrot, or even an iguana \u2013 the size and external appearance do not matter at all. What is important is that they become dear to us, and we give them warmth and care and get something valuable in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at some point, a disaster happens: our beloved pet gets lost, runs away, or dies. The pain of this loss is huge and almost palpable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we lose close people, our pain and suffering are well understood by those around us. But the pain of losing a pet can be understood only by those who have or used to have domestic animals. Therefore, we can often hear phrases like these: \u201cDo not be so upset, it\u2019s not like it is a person who died!\u201d, \u201cYou can get a new dog!\u201d, \u201cWell, you knew that hamsters don\u2019t live long, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very hard to hear these phrases because it feels like your loss is being devalued. \u201cGet a new dog? Seriously? Is a dog an object?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grieving the loss of a pet goes through the same stages as the loss of a person. Yes, it is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denial <\/strong>\u2013 \u201cNo, this can\u2019t be. It must be a bad dream\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anger\/guilt<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cIf only I took him to the vet sooner!\u201d, \u201cThis vet was completely incompetent! If only he\u2026\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Negotiation <\/strong>\u2013 \u201cIf we find him, I will always allow him to sleep in my bed! And I will volunteer at an animal shelter\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depression <\/strong>\u2013 sinking into grief. \u201cHere is her toy\u2026 And here is a whole bag of dog treats\u2026 it is so sad and quiet without her!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acceptance <\/strong>\u2013 slowly returning to normal life. The pain subsides and turns into sadness.<\/p>\n\n\n

How to survive the loss of a beloved pet?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to allow yourself to express all the emotions that are asking to come out: pain, anger, anxiety, and worry. If you want to cry \u2013 cry, this is normal. Right now, do not talk to people who want you to pull yourself together and stop being sad. They will not help you to reduce your pain \u2013 right the opposite\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you definitely should talk to people who understand you and are ready to listen. You need emotional support very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not blame yourself for what has happened. Every one of us can find something where we were not perfect owners. Perhaps, you didn\u2019t pay enough attention, or could have provided better care\u2026 But the truth is that we are not supposed to be perfect. We are just humans\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove everything that reminds you about your pet \u2013 his drinking bowl, toys, and bed. Not so that you could forget sooner, no\u2026 But rather so as not to scratch the wound until it heals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to remember not the last difficult hours and minutes, but the good times that you used to spend together \u2013 these memories are yours to keep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pain will subside \u2013 it will not stay with you forever. Give yourself time to recover and experience your feelings fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br>
