Reply To: Loss of a pet

[chloe123]

Hi,

We unexpectedly had to put down our dog last week as she was suffering from heart failure. My whole family is having such a tough time adjusting, the house is so quiet without her. I feel bad for my dad especially as she was always by his side and i’m worried that he’s lonely now.

I do feel like a part of my heart is gone and am feeling actual pain in my chest. I just burst into tears the moment I think of her. I don’t know how to cope with these feelings. I feel like it’s hard to confide in friends about the loss of a pet as it’s hard for them to understand.

Not sure what to do.
