As faithful companions and treasured family members, pets bring such joy and comfort to our lives. When a beloved pet dies, it is natural to grieve. If you have recently lost a pet, you may be experiencing the following common signs and symptoms of grief:
The death of a pet is often a child’s first introduction to grief. Like adults, it is normal and natural for children to grieve the loss of a pet, and when they do, children need
comfort and stability. To help a child who is grieving, it is best to let his or her questions be your guide. Try to be honest about the circumstances of the death as well as your
own feelings. Avoid vague terms that a child may not understand. If you are not able to answer a question, don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know.” It
is OK to cry and be sad in front of children as long as you maintain an atmosphere of safety. This teaches them that it is OK for them to cry, laugh and be themselves even when they are
sad.
When helping children, you cannot go wrong with honesty, stability and comfort. Keep normal routines as much as possible. Babies and toddlers need physical reassurance such as
hugs. Provide brief and simple explanations to young children. Older children often benefit from clear and factual information about the loss. Avoid telling children how
they should or should not feel. Instead, listen and accept their feelings unconditionally. Don’t be surprised if children are sad one minute and want to play the next.
You may also want to contact teachers, school guidance counselors, or other school staff to inform them about the loss.
All living things have a uniqueness that is all their own. It lives in the heart of those who love them and remains after we leave this world. Your pet is no exception. While it is natural that memories of your pet bring grief and sadness, it may help to remember that these feelings are a tribute to your pet’s life and the impact he or she had in this world. What special attributes did he or she display? What did he or she like and dislikes? How did he or she love you? When you are ready, you may want to honor and remember these special traits by:
