Pet Loss and how it affects you
Sunday, September 12th, is National Pet Memorial Day. This is a day in which we look back and reflect on one, or many pets, that we may have had throughout our lifetime that are no longer with us. A pet is an extension of our family, a companion, and a great friend. The bond you have with a pet is different than those shared with a human. Many may find that our family or friends cannot understand the level of grief that we are going through, and please know, this is normal.
When a pet passes many people try to move on quickly which dismisses the real impact. Sometimes people may even attempt to replace the pet almost immediately. These are just 2 out of 6 myths that are discussed and can be found in the book Grief Recovery Handbook for Pet Loss.
I hope first you are able to reach out to me so I can help you through this process. Although I also want to recommend this book as it has been able to help many address the pain that comes with the loss of a pet as well as ultimately, how to move on with life.
