| I hurt so much! Am I over-reacting? |
|
Intense grief over the loss of a pet is completely normal and natural. Every pet owner who considers a pet a beloved friend and companion, a true family member, goes through what you are experiencing now. You are not being overly sentimental, weak, crazy, or foolish to grieve. You may have spent
many years with this animal. During this time they were a constant part
of your life, always ready to give you love, comfort and companionship.
Pets provide unconditional, non-judgmental love. So don't be surprised
if you feel devastated by the loss of such a powerful relationship, no
matter how long or brief it was.
