BEREAVEMENT, GRIEF and MOURNING: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
Sadly, loss is a universally-experienced life event. Pet loss, however, is something only experienced by those of us who choose to live with or care for an animal.
Bereavement, grief and mourning are all common terms that we use to describe the feelings and behaviours associated with loss, whatever its nature.
People often talk about each as if they’re interchangeable. However, there are some key differences – especially between grief and mourning – that are particularly relevant to bereaved pet carers.
Let’s look at what these terms mean and why the differences matter.
