How To Deal With Your Dog's Death
Galen Seidler
For some of us our dog is our best friend. Dealing with the loss of our best friend can be devastating. The more prominent our dog has been in our lives, the harder it is to lose them. Children and single older people can be hit hard by a dog's passing.
If you are unprepared, as most people are, the loss can be almost more than you can handle. Sudden loss from an accident can magnify the problems we can face. Fortunately there is a few things we can do to minimize our grief.
Take some time off. Take a few days off of work. Consider getting away from your home just to be able to reflect on your loss without constant reminders of your departed companion in every corner.
Let it all out. There's no shame in crying. Letting our emotions out is not only normal, it's healthy. Keeping your sorrow locked up keeps you from moving on and you could find your self severely depressed lter.
Talk or write about your lost dog. Journaling can be very healing. It's a quiet way to really let all your feelings out without feeling foolish in front of a friend who may not relate to your grief.
Think about a new companion. No new dog will ever replace your lost friend but a new friendly face can help you get over your grief much faster. Get all new supplies - make it a fresh start for both of you.
Remember that life is precious. Our departed friend would want us to be happy. With time, we can move forward in a less pained fashion. Taking on a new companion can help us look forward to a happy future.
