\"\"<\/a>The English novelist George Eliot said it best about pets when she wrote, \u201cAnimals are such agreeable friends. They ask no questions and pass no\u00a0 criticisms.\u201d Perhaps that is why some pet owners feel closer to their animals\u00a0 than even other members of their family.<\/p>\n

It is no wonder, then, that people experience intense grief at the loss of a\u00a0 pet and that it can even rival the same levels as the death of a human friend or\u00a0 family member. Rest assured, that somber feeling following a loss is\u00a0 completely normal.<\/p>\n

What sometimes can make it harder to cope with the death of an animal in a\u00a0 pet and owner relationship is the impossibility of being able to talk about the\u00a0 situation if the pet is aging or ailing. — In human interaction, such a\u00a0 discussion may be able to alleviate some of the questions people\u00a0 face. Animals don\u2019t understand the process of dying as much.<\/p>\n

With humans, conversations can create some closure for loved ones. But\u00a0 depending on the type of death the animal experiences, there may be no sense of\u00a0 resolution for a pet owner because there is no opportunity for\u00a0 communication.<\/p>\n

There are several ways that pet owners can help themselves, and others, move\u00a0 forward after a loss. Here are 7 tips to cope with the loss of a pet.<\/p>\n

1. Maintain a normal routine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes pet owners are used to a schedule that was based on their animal’s\u00a0 needs. Waking up to walk the dog in the morning was not only a way to keep the\u00a0 pet healthy but it also helped boost the owner’s activity level.<\/p>\n

Be sure to stay active so physical health does not become a concern on top of\u00a0 emotional strain.<\/p>\n

2. Consider holding a farewell ceremony<\/strong><\/p>\n

A farewell ceremony doesn\u2019t need to be as elaborate as a human funeral\u00a0 typically is, but having a dedicated time set aside to remember your pet and say\u00a0 goodbye can be very therapeutic and help move you closer to closure.<\/p>\n

Deciding how to dispose of your pet’s remains is a personal choice. Some\u00a0 people choose to bury their pet nearby where it can be visited on a regular\u00a0 basis. This might not an option for everyone so cremation and keeping or\u00a0 releasing the pet’s ashes might also help. Still others have gone to the extreme\u00a0 and decided to take the remains to a taxidermist to preserve the pet.<\/p>\n

3. Keep photos or videos<\/strong><\/p>\n

Photos, scrapbooks, home videos, collages and other forms preserving memories\u00a0 can be a good way to remember the fondest times owners have shared with their\u00a0 pets. Whether it is a visual reminder or just a journal or even as simple as a\u00a0 poem, having something concrete that you can revisit time after time can help\u00a0 you remember your animal.<\/p>\n

4. Understand the grief of others<\/strong><\/p>\n

What might be easy for one person to move beyond can seem like an\u00a0 insurmountable obstacle for another.<\/p>\n

Seniors, especially, may have had a long relationship with a pet that may\u00a0 have been more significant because they have already lost a lot of people in\u00a0 their lives. The loss of a pet can trigger a response in them to revisit some of\u00a0 the pain of the loss of human relationships as well.<\/p>\n

With a child, the best thing to do is to be honest with them as much as\u00a0 possible about the death of the pet. Assure them that this pet is no longer in\u00a0 any pain and although they\u2019re gone, they will always be alive in their\u00a0 memories.<\/p>\n

Having a memorial service is even more important for kids than adults — even\u00a0 if it’s just for a pet like a fish or hamster — it’s just as important to\u00a0 acknowledge the significance of the animal\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

5. Understand the grief of other pets <\/em>in the household<\/strong><\/p>\n

For families with multiple pets in the household, the owners are not the only\u00a0 ones who suffer when an animal dies. The pets themselves have their own\u00a0 unique relationship in playing with each other or just serving as\u00a0 companions.<\/p>\n

Owners must take that in consideration to give the remaining pets a little\u00a0 more love and attention to help fill the void that was left without their animal\u00a0 friend.<\/p>\n

6. Finding a replacement pet<\/strong><\/p>\n

Depending on the circumstances surrounding the death of the pet, jumping in\u00a0 and trying to find a replacement as a distraction is not a good idea and can\u00a0 actually make the grieving process worse.<\/p>\n

If the death of a pet is sudden and unexpected, it is important for owners to\u00a0 take time and fully evaluate when might be a good time to find another pet.\u00a0 However, if the pet has been ailing or aging for some time, owners may have\u00a0 already begun the grieving process earlier, and can plan to find a new pet\u00a0 sooner than expected.<\/p>\n

7. Find a support group<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the grief becomes too much to handle alone, surrounding yourself with\u00a0 others experiencing similar feelings can be beneficial.<\/p>\n

Support groups are available in some location for those who need\u00a0 it.<\/p>\n

Pet owners will often feel the same five stages of grief associated with\u00a0 human loss including denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.\u00a0 Perhaps they feel guilty because they didn\u2019t do enough to save them or second\u00a0 guessing themselves on deciding if euthanasia was the best option.<\/p>\n

Sometimes people will look at you and try to make you think you shouldn\u2019t be\u00a0 experiencing as much pain as you are at the loss of a pet. But grief over the\u00a0 death of a pet really depends on where you are in your life. People have\u00a0 different reactions to grief and different expectations of death and dying. This\u00a0 naturally creates varied responses to death of human figures or pet figures.<\/p>\n
