Grieving For Your Pet

Loss of a pet can cause grief just as intense as losing a human family member. Your pet very likely became like part of the family and when he is gone, it is natural to feel like part of you is gone also. It is not silly to grieve over a pet, in fact, it is healthy. 

Don’t let those who have never had this bond with a pet tell you that it is crazy to grieve over a pet. What you feel is natural and your grief should be acknowledged. A keepsake of your pet may also help bring back the good memories in spite of the grief.
