The reality of having a pet is that we will outlive most of them.

Sometimes their passing is very sudden and unexpected. Other times, an illness or old age means we know the time to say goodbye is nearing.

Emotionally preparing for the death of a much loved pet can help with the grieving process.

Below are some ways to help with this preparation:

• Spend quality time together - make the most of the time you have left. Stroke them, cuddle them. It's OK to feel the sadness.

• Find a vet you are comfortable with. Ask questions, talk about your wishes for your beloved pet. Try to make a plan for when the time comes.

• Talk to people who understand. Surround yourself with people who can support how you feel.

• Know that it's OK to grieve. Don't shut down your emotions by feeling you should just 'get on with things'. Give yourself permission to feel the hard emotions and go through the process of grieving.

" Grief is so painfully real, regardless of its origin. The love of, and attachment to, an animal friend can equal that of human relationships. Likewise, the loss of an animal can be just as devastating. " Rev. Joel L. Morgan.

We often hear that the loss of a pet has affected some people in a similar, or even more devastating way than a human loss. Never feel guilty; your grief is your grief. You have every right to feel how you feel at a time of loss, be kind to yourself.

🐾 When is the right time to consider getting a new pet after a loss? 🐾

This is a question we often discuss with our clients.

Ultimately, it is a very personal choice and can be part of the grieving process.

Whether you choose to bring another pet into your lives soon after a loss; or whether you need more time to adjust and heal...remember....

A new pet will never erase the memory of one departed, but will bring joy and love to the emptiness left behind.

Rest In Peace our darling Georgie. We were so lucky to have you from a tiny kitten. You were our beloved best friend for more than 19 years. You were the sweetest cat with the most loving nature. Always wanting cuddles and giving us so much joy. We miss you so much; you have left a hole in our lives that can never be filled. You will be in our hearts forever.

Tilly's family have recently had to say goodbye to their beloved girl, and wanted to post a fitting tribute to their angel.

"Tilly, my baby girl, it was love at first sight. From the day I set eyes on you, you stole my heart. You were my life, my best friend, my soulmate, my first born child, my protector. You were my everything. My heart will be forever broken. Fly high baby girl. Your paw prints will forever be on my heart, I love you Tilly."
