The loss of a pet can be a traumatic event.  Recognizing the grief process and allowing yourself to move through it is critical.  Here are 4 tips for coping with the death of a pet:

Allow yourself time to heal. Exactly how much time is needed depends on the person.

Don’t talk about replacement just yet.

Memorialize your pet. As a way of remembering all of the happiness your pet brought to your life, commemorate your pet in a special way.

Write. Writing memories or stories about your pet can help.  Once the pain heals, you can go back, read and remember the strong memories you had at that difficult time.
