GRIEF
UPON THE LOSS of a pet is a normal response, and a very individual
one. For some people, grieving for a pet that has died may be
an even more difficult process than grieving for a human love one.
One reason is that the support network of understanding and caring
people may be smaller. If a person has lost a human loved one,
the friends, family, co-workers, etc., will all understand.
They may send cards, flowers, and offer food and companionship.
This is often not the case when a pet dies.

family members and friends are very supportive, but in some
