Coping With the Loss of a Pet
If you've ever lost a pet, you know the depth of grief that comes with it. It's amazing how much it hurts. Many people can be unsympathetic, however, not understanding how you could cry so much over an "animal", not understanding how much your pet meant to you. People think it's cheesy to grieve too much for pets, but losing a pet can feel the same as losing a close friend. Don't repress your emotions, just because you think people will make fun of you. Your pet was very special to you.
There are actually quite a few support groups out on the internet. At the bottom of this page there is a list of only a few of the ones that I found. Going through them and reading other peoples' experiences can help ease your pain and help you realize that you're not the only one who feels the way you do.
