How Can I Cope with my Dog's Death?

By Dirk Gruenberg


It is accepted to feel the loss and be miserable when somebody leaves us for good. In such circumstances we cry and express our grief and sorrow. The same takes place when our special relation, our pet passes away.

Some people, especially those who do not have pet, might find our deep grief and sorrow a little bit of an overreaction. However, pet lovers simply often feel this way.

After all, pets are wonderful and loyal friends. They often made us smile, their love brightened our every day, and we will miss them deeply. The intent of this article is to give you some advice on how to cope with this terrible loss.

Although the loss can never be covered yet it is very valuable to come of the affliction and face the circumstance and cope with the situation.

You can even feel guilt of the matter for not caring for your pet in the proper way and may blame yourself for being the cause for his or her death. You may feel upset and discouraged.

Here are a few tips to help you cope with the death of your dog: First, don't suppress your grief. This is absolutely crucial.

Always keep in mind that it is absolutely normal to be heartbroken at the loss of a dear friend and family member. Just because he is a dog does not change the fact the mourning will occur.

Another important point is to share your feelings with others. Sitting home alone crying is okay, but most people feel relieved when they tell a friend about their pain. And, of course, there is a whole community of people who have lost their pets. Their support in forums or groups might also be helpful.

Also, if you have kids take the time to explain things to them, too. They, too, will mourn; in their own childlike way, but take them seriously in their grief. Try to support each other through this difficult period.
