Tips For Overcoming The Grieving Process After Losing A Pet

Losing a pet is one of the most difficult things that anyone can endure because you may have spent 10 years or longer with your pet and it’s tough waking up one morning and realizing that they aren’t there.

Thankfully, it’s possible to move on after the loss of your pet by following these tips.

Tip #1 – Assemble An Emotional Support System

One of the first things to do before losing a pet is to establish an emotional support system that can help you to get through the first few weeks after you lose your pet.

Some of the people that you should have in your support system include your close family members and friends.

The goal after losing a pet is to immediately start talking about what you’re going through and try not to keep those emotions “bottled up” without sharing with others what’s going on.

Tip #2 – Tie Up Loose Ends About Your Pet

If you have any questions about how your pet died, or about what you could have done to possibly extend their life, it’s best to tie up lose ends and talk with a vet about those question.

Taking care of lose ends will help to put your mind at ease and provide you with a sense of closure so that you can move forward and potentially purchase another pet in the future.

Tip #3 – Memorialize Your Pet

Last of all, but most important, take the time to memorialize your pet either with a small service before you bury or dispose of their ashes. This will give you the opportunity to say the words that you want to say about your pet while also sharing special memories about them that you may have made with your friends or family.

Besides memorializing your pet, you should also consider creating a memorial by either having your pet’s ashes placed in a decorative urn, have your pet’s ashes interned at a pet cemetery or place a memorial plaque for your pet in your yard.

If you take the steps to remember the time spent with your pet, this will help you to move on in an emotionally healthy way while focusing on the next stage of your life.
