The loss of a pet can cause intense grief, which can affect people in a variety of ways. Our pets are a significant part of our lives; they are our companions, a source of comfort and a family member. Expect it to take time to adjust to your loss; there is no standard time limit and no right or wrong way to feel during this period.
Talking about your loss with family and friends is a very important part of coming to terms with bereavement and remember it is alright to ask for help.
