Our pets are part of our family. According to the 2021-2022 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, 90.5 million homes — that’s 70% of U.S. households — own a pet. Some people underestimate the role these precious creatures play in our lives. I had cats most of my life and losing one never gets easier. The grieving process is the same. Their unconditional love is a powerful force in our lives. For me they provide comfort and remind me every time I walk through the door, I’m home in my safe place. A sense of comfort comes over me. Pets provide so much comfort that is understandable that losing them can be emotionally devastating. Instead of me telling you about the emotional process that I went through when I lost my pets, I found a great article published by Cleveland Clinic. It explains the grieving process and provides some helpful information as to move through this difficult process with love and support.
