LOSING A PET HURTS MORE THAN PEOPLE THINK.
|Having a pet is something that fascinates us, they fill us with great joy from the first moment they arrive at our home, we are fascinated to feel their company and watch them do their pranks around us.
Many people who have pets, love to have them since these animals give us unparalleled love, they are a tenderness and we love that this is so, we feel very good in the company of our pets.
When we are alone, pets accompany us, they are always our faithful companions in good times or in bad times they are always with us, we like it that way since we feel supported by something.
When we lose our pet it affects us a lot and it is that many say that it hurts too much to lose a pet that for so many years we have been with her and that we have taken care of her and she has been our faithful friend.
SADNESS INVADES US IF A PET DIES
It is very likely that at least once in your life you have had a pet, that you have loved it too much, supported you and accompanied you in your worst moments but you must say goodbye to the least expected day.
Many people say that a pet is happiness, they are angels in the form of pets and they always accompany us and love to do it as we also love them to follow us.
Losing a beloved pet hurts too much, much more than people think it hurts, many underestimate the pain that can be felt by losing our dog friend or our cat or any other pet we have ever had.
To verify this, a study carried out in the Department of Psychology of the University of New Mexico in the United States asked many owners how they had felt after the loss of their pet and many said that the pain had been very deep.
Another university but in this case in Hawaii, not only confirmed this fact but also said that the pain after the death of a pet is usually much longer lasting than the pain we feel with the loss of a loved one.
Many today say they have suffered a lot for the loss of their pet and that often that pain does not compare with the loss of a loved one.

My beautiful Bentley died yesterday in my arms after 9 short years of life. It was very traumatic and not expected at all so seeing this article today ( reading it between the tears ) explains it very well. He will always be with us with the memories and unconditional love he gave us ❤️
My kids went on a much needed vacation to Hawaii. While they were gone their pug gle got out of the pet sitters house and ran away. Everyone has been diligent posting flyers, walking the area over and over and reporting to the proper authorities. They were informed of the dogs disappearance on Aug 22 and it has been a week and still no sightings or info. They are heartsick, especially their 7 yr old. Still holding out hope that someone has him. He has a chip and hopefully someone will take him in and see who he belongs to. Come home Ollie safe and sound.
Rocco was my best friend for over 11 years. He gave me so much love and joy. I had never felt that kind of love. He brought joy wherever he went. We traveled and it was always Rocco and me. I feel like half of my heart and soul is gone.
I put my beautiful 26 lb cat down Sat. Aug24. Im still sick to my stomach. The best cat and friend I ever had. Totally unexpected.,Very rare Liver cancer. All of a sudden it started eating away his fur and his skin was burning . His eyes were discharging and the fur disappearing on his face. It broke my heart and he was so helpless. He was always by my side. I miss him terribly. How are you coping? I think I’ll need grief counseling.
Eileen I am so sorry. I just had our sweet cat Buttons put to sleep this morning. I can’t stop crying and everywhere I look I see the reminders of her and just keep crying. I feel this is going to be a long process, one I will never get over. I will always miss her. She was family and like a child of mine. I am sick to my stomach too. Sending you big hugs.
I lost my Mia after 11 years. She was a lab/pit. She never had one bad mood in her life. We went everywhere together. I am 64 years old. She was my baby and my best friend. Within two weeks I found out she had terminal cancer. I am a mess. I cry our for her. I smell her sweaters she wore in winter. I sleep with her collar. I pretend she is still here…she is here…just in a little box. I had 5 dogs in my life..Not one although I loved them all had the loving eyes and loyalty and love he gave to me. I feel so empty…….
My son king died on Aug 17 2019 and I feel I am dying. I have never hurt so bad or my soul yearn for something so much. I can’t find a reason to go on. He was my world. Everything I did was for him and I am so lost without him the days get harder not easier for me. I just wish I could hold him again. I need him so bad. My life has no meaning without him. This is the worst feeling in the world. Why would the elders feel the need for people to feel this much pain is beyond me. It hurts so bad. I just want to go be with him. I need him back.
This article had perfect timing. I thought I was losing my mind the hurt is so strong. I’ve never been a house cat lover until Tyger came in my life. He had spleen surgery six months ago due to the fact they found a mass cancerous tumor that had taken over. At midnight, on the October 6th, he took his last breath in my arms. I never realized the impact that he had on my heart until I lost him. Digging the grave yesterday in my backyard, by myself, was just as devastating. It took everything I had because I did not want to let him go. Knowing I would never get to hold him again or feeling the love was overwhelming. I wrapped him in one of my shirts so he would know I was with him. In my heart, I just wish by kids could love and care about me as much as he did. Going to bed last night, and him not curled up next to me was just heart hurting. Thank you so much for writing this article. I am so glad to know that my feelings are real, yet I do not have anyone to share them with.
