How can I cope with the overwhelming grief after losing my pet?
Coping with pet loss is deeply personal, but some effective strategies include allowing yourself to fully grieve, talking openly about your feelings with supportive friends or family, creating a memorial (like a photo album or garden), and keeping a journal to express your emotions. It’s also helpful to join pet loss support groups in Ohio, or seek professional counseling from a pet bereavement specialist who understands the unique bond between people and their animals.
Is it normal to feel more grief over losing a pet than a person?
Yes, it’s completely normal. The bond with a pet is often unconditional, daily, and emotionally intense. Pets provide companionship, routine, and love without judgment. Losing that connection can feel just as devastating, or even more so, than human loss. Grief isn’t a competition, and your feelings are valid. Seeking support from pet loss counselors in Ohio or online communities can help you feel understood and less alone during this time.
