Grief is a natural reaction to the loss of a beloved companion. The relationship you had with your pet was significant.
The love you shared was real and any feelings of loss are valid. You are not alone in going through this process. It can help to talk to others who have experienced similar grief. Here are some resources that we hope can help:
