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.

This is so true! I lost my beautiful Fancy, a miniature horse, and i cant express the pain I have felt since she passed. I cry every time I think of her or see something that reminds me of her. It only just happened 10 days ago.
My first pet love was a German Shepherd mix. She was with me throughout my teenage years. After 2 years in the military I came home to her She had lost her sight but still welcomed me exuberantly. When my dad asked if I thought it was right to have her euthanized, I agreed. But I did not accompany him to the veterinarian. I never grieved, either.
7 years later, as a man recently in recovery, I was driving behind a truck with a “I my ” bumper sticker on the back window. I started crying so hard, and so fitfully I had to pull over. I cried hard, bitterly, for the next 10 or 15 minutes; then in spasms for the next 5 min. or so.
I’ve never felt such pain like that before or since.
My wife called me one day and said, ” would you like a dog?” I kind of said no. Mainly because when i was young I lost a family friend (our beloved dog) and I didnt want to go through this again. Anyway, she brings this shit-zu home and I just fall in love straight away. Years later we left the USA for Australia and bought her with. She travelled everywhere with us. the beach, the mountains, shops, parks….everywhere. Leaving her at the Airport to travel without us and not see her for 6 weeks broke my heart. My little buddy, all alone. 6 weeks pass, we get to pick her up from quarantine. Ahhh…the love. the joy. She is in my arms again. Safe and sound. Several years later now she is 15 yrs old. She had been with us since she was a few months old. The last day, in at the Animal Hospital i have her craddled in my arms as she is put to rest. The hardest part is not knowing how she is. When all i ever did was protect her and give her love. Now i cannot. I just hope she is making friends where ever she is. Having a good time….Love you chloe – Life is hard without you….forever missed. xxoo
I miss my first cat so badly. He was a rescue that gave us 16 years of pure joy. He himself walked me through some of my darkest days and taught me so much about life and myself, and most importantly about love. Almost three years ago we had to put him down and I was loving on him, nose to nose, crying like a baby during the process. His absence has left a hole so large that every day is a raw, scraping event with zero hope of healing.
I hope the Rainbow Bridge is not true, because that little guy deserved a prominent spot in heaven upon arrival.
