Losing a pet can cut deeper than many people recognize. This is how friends can help

Paris (AP) – Even months later, the pain of losing a pet can still hit without warning. The trigger can – for the X -Ten – how empty the house has felt since the died cat or stumbled across the dog's leash that they have lost. The loss of pets can be twice if your friends don't know how to help, maybe because they have no pets themselves or just feel uncomfortable in grief. PET-BEREAVement specialists say that it is easy to see that it is normal to feel terrible. The pet could have been the most important relationship in the life of the owner. Be a good listener. Recognize that many grieving pet owners are guilty of whether they could have saved their animal. And do not assume that a new pet ends grief.
