We don\u2019t grieve only when we lose someone we love \u2014 we grieve when we lose a four-legged friend who gave us love so freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is incredibly hard to come to terms with such a loss. From time to time, waves of sorrow and grief overwhelm us completely. We don\u2019t want to \u2014 and sometimes simply can\u2019t \u2014 believe that Rex\u2019s cold, wet nose or Kitty\u2019s soft, fluffy paw will never touch us again, that we will never see Fluffy\u2019s tail wag or hear Sunny sing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our friends and relatives who don\u2019t have pets, or don\u2019t see them as members of the family, often don\u2019t understand us. To them, it\u2019s just an animal. To us \u2014 it\u2019s a FRIEND.
A FRIEND who always understood.
A FRIEND who remained faithful in our darkest moments.
A FRIEND who could never betray you and loved you exactly as you are.
A FRIEND not so easy to find in the human world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Animals have much shorter lifespans than humans. I once heard a story about a family who bought a turtle when their son was born \u2014 a turtle that can live for more than a hundred years. Yet even it does not live forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With time, when the pain and longing begin to fade, only warm memories remain. You find yourself smiling as you recall the funny moments, little habits, and quirks of your beloved companion. But that will come later\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t be afraid to let your emotions flow. Crying over loss and pain is natural. The first days are the hardest, especially when your thoughts return again and again to the final days of your friend\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try to remember them with love and tenderness, and share those memories with others. Remember: you are not alone in this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Share your story \u2014 about the life you shared with your beloved companion, and about the moment they crossed into another world. You can do this on your social media or on our website. A photo of your pet, a story about them, words of gratitude for the time you spent together, and words of farewell can help you through these difficult days and preserve their memory forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you feel ready and have the strength, share your experience with others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
