According to an article written by Laurel Lagoni, M.S. of www.veterinarywisdom.com, "Experts say the experience of grieving isn’t really different when a pet dies suddenly. Rather, it’s your capacity to cope with your grief that is severely diminished. When a pet dies unexpectedly, there is no gradual transition or opportunity to say good-bye. The sensations of shock and denial can leave you too stunned and confused to respond, interfering with your ability to gatther your support system and start the process of emotional healing."

According to an article by Ralph Ryback, MD in Psychology Today, "“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” — Anatole France

A pet owner’s worst fear is losing a beloved companion. For those who have experienced this loss, there is usually a poignant story to share about a cherished dog or cat’s passing. From one pet owner to another, we understand the intense pain and emptiness that occurs after this loss. There is no correct way to grieve and work through this process, as everyone walks down a different journey with a pet."

Did you know there are options for euthanasia for your pet?

Whether you choose in-hospital or in-home euthanasia, according to Heather Berst, MA, VMD in a blog she wrote for Zoetic, "Neither option is better than the other. Take the time for your family to learn about these options before an emergency arises, if possible. Discuss all options with your veterinarian to ensure that your pet's comfort and well-being are considered. It's also important to understand the emotional toll that euthanasia can take on a pet owner and to seek support if needed.

No matter the location of euthanasia, your veterinary care professionals are dedicated to making your pet's last moments peaceful and comfortable."

I saw this beautiful drawing by T. Shannon and had to share it with all of you.

So many times while we are grieving, we hear those around us make well-meaning statements but it only makes grief harder. As you hear their voice in your head, you start to wonder, "why am I not over this yet, is something wrong with me?" or "he was just a dog, but he was MY dog that was more loyal to me than most people in my life." These make us angry and we find ourselves isolated & lonely.

We have put together some grief resources for you on our website so you don't have to grieve or feel alone. There are so many people out there going through this loss that you can talk to & that will understand the journey you're on. ❤🐰🐻

According to the fact sheet, Euthanasia: Making the Decision, on Animal Humane, "While some pets die of old age in the comfort of their own home, many others become seriously ill, get injured in some way or experience a significantly diminished quality of life as they grow very old. In these situations, it may be necessary for you to consider having your pet euthanized in order to spare it from pain and suffering. Here are some suggestions for dealing with this difficult decision, as well as some information about the euthanasia procedure itself."
