how did you deal with the loss of a beloved pet?

Cried. Lay on my back in bed and cried till my ears were full...talked to him, begged him to come back, wished I could have killed myself (no guts, no trucks big enough on the way home from the vet with his baby body next to me on the seat). He was a 3-1/2 year old cat I'd raised from 3 days, and he was all the love I had, or wanted. I cried more for him than I did for my parents.

How sad .......you lost the very first love you ever had because of someone you trusted ......... someone you had been kind and loyal to. You not only lost your first love, you lost a friend : two deaths.\nI think that it will be hard to resolve your feelings because there is no way to resolve the issue. You can't change the past.. Your relationship was interrupted. In order to heal from this tragic wound, you need to approach it the same way you would a death. You need to go through the stages of grief. There are some good methods outlines at : http://www.elderhope.com/e_class/new_grief/grief_2_2.html\nI am so sorry for your losses. \nI carried the unresolved loss for over thirty years, and then I called my childhood boyfriend (I found his phone number on the internet). I told him what had happened and we talked about it. We talked about our lives and families and things in general. About two weeks after our conversation, I woke up one morning and realized I was no longer thinking about him. I realized how happy I was that we never married. I was thankful my life had taken a different direction.\nI still feel pain about my friend who betrayed me. Her actions caused me to distrust people throughout my life. I wish I had had someone to help me go through the grieving process when I was young. Good luck. There is a different, better ending to your story. One day you will be happy about it because, if your boyfriend had been a purer person, he would not have abandoned you because of gossip.

Just be there for him. Give him time to grieve in his own way.................

If there was a very close bond between the pet and its owner then yes. I think the deceased would like to say goodbye to there beloved pet. But bringing all the owner's animals might be a little tacky. Make sure you find out if animals are allowed at the funeral home/ religous establishment, because most of the times they're not.

Wow, that's a question I could never finish answering, so in short I'm just thankful that me and my family are alive and healthy, I am so sorry to hear of your loss, man that's alot to cope with, but just know that only God give life and only God can take it away, and you may never know why God chose to take his daughter back to be with him, just have a lit peace knowing that she's in a better place, with her heavenly father, looking down smiling at you. And know that God want put no more on you then you are able to bare, and although that was a terrible tragedy and no doubt you will always have so many different feelings running that's associated with your daughters death, but it's almost been a year now, no doubt a very long, hurting agonizing, and painful one, but your getting through it and that's all you can do, and God knew, tho hard...He knew you would make it so stay strong, hold on, and keep your head up, cause that's where she's at, and know that she'll always be in your heart, mind and spirit, her body has just taken on another form, she's an angel now and her spirit will still be with you through these holidays and the many more to come, and tell your youngest daughter congratulations and her sister will not miss the birth of her baby, she'll be watching and smiling at a higher location, you'll have a happy holiday and remember when the pain of your lost, hits you the most that's when God is watching to pull you through, I applaud you as well as many others that make it through such traggedy's, maybe at times you don't feel so strong, but remember you are and looking back... you've made it this far....LOL to you and your family.

well, it depends on what she's sad about. If she's sad about how maybe things are going with you...then tell her how you feel too. \nAnd if she's just sad for some reason, like if her pet died or somthing like that. \n\nTalk to her about it, show that you can help her through it.\nKiss her on the forhead, and squeeze her tight. \n\nSeriously, sometimes the thing that made me feel better was the fact that my boyfriend hugged me...and not just hugged me, but he really really hugged me, held on tight, and told me that everything would be alright.

I'm so sorry you've lost someone important to you.  I've been there before myself.  Tomorrow will be the first anniversary of my mother's death in a hospice.  She suffered so much before she died that it tore my heart out, but she's with her Lord and Saviour now, and happy at last.  Time will improve things for you.  It's the only thing that helped me.  Try to do things you enjoy to distract yourself from the pain.  Even that can take a great effort, but you have to keep trying. If you do, I promise you that things will get better as time moves on.  May God Bless You!

Please know that you are in my morning prayers.  I know your pain over your losses seem unbearable, but remember that He is holding you up, and even when you don't feel Him, that is when He is closest!  It took someone else's pain to remind of that this morning and I hope and pray as you grieve your loss that you can keep that thought in your mind.  It was explained to me that we have at least forty thousand thoughts a day, and that if you can keep those thoughts positive, your body and emotion will respond.  What a man thinks in his heart, so is he, right?\n\nMay God help you thru this time, may you keep your eyes toward heaven, may God use your grandchild to bless you for years to come, and may He help you raise her in grace and gratefulness for the opportunity to serve your daughter's memory.  Father, please enable a good report from the Drs to encourage this sister in the Lord thru her trials.  May she see many blessings thru her call for prayer, strentgthen her faith and trust in You as she walks the same path we all must take for your names sake. Amen.

Take a deep breath and grieve. then start with the small stuff. pay a bill or dust a piece of furniture. then see how you feel. try doing just one thing a day until you feel you can handle more.

You should feel the way you feel, and not how anyone else tells you to feel.  That's the only possible answer. If you worry about a lack of feeling upon this persons death, you must understand the psychological shock of such an incident.  It takes time to come to grips with it. If you were truly close to this person, the grief and pain WILL come-believe me.  The most important thing is not to repress it.  You must let it come, you must grieve, and you must deal with it.  Don't ignore it, or bottle it up.  Let yourself feel it.  To ignore it is to harm yourself, and disrespect the memory of your lost one. God bless, and my condolences.

I lost my son 10 years ago on Nov.25 and I still think of him daily. It took a long time but now when I think of him I can laugh at the warm good times we had and it doesn't hurt so sharply. I know the pain and it is almost a physical thing, isn't it? It starts in your stomach and it feels like you want to scream and scream and scream. This will pass. He knows you love him. Trust that fact. And you will always love him trust this fact. And you will see him again when it is time to do so. Until that time you are responsible to him not to waste the life you have grieving for his loss of life because his life began again that day. He is in a wonderful place, God can take a lot better care of him than you or I ever could. He has all the answers. I know how much you miss him , and I believe they miss us too. He is busy and so should we be. the time till we are with them will seem shorter that way and we will be doing what is our reason to still be here, that is to be busy and to love others by giving help to those we can help. Bless your heart and Bless your Loving Parents heart. It will all be answered someday and you can trust that fact also.

Only time helps. It is natural to miss her, so allow yourself to cry when you need to. It is okay.
