Pet Loss Grief Counseling Article on Losing A Dog

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

It is important to realize the pain of losing a pet, especially a dog.  When we lose a dog, it is like losing a family member for some.

The article, When Rover Dies: Why Your Grief Over Your Dog Is So Intense, by Frank McAndrew states,

“Your own pet is never “just a dog.”

My wife and I recently went through one of the more excruciatingly sorrowful experiences of our long married life: the death of a pet — the euthanasia of our beloved dog, Murphy. Losing a dog is hard enough; setting the time and date in advance and then counting down the hours that we had left with her was almost more than we could bear.”

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Losing a pet is painful.  The process of caring for a dying pet can take an emotional toll as one awaits the inevitable.  It is truly sad to see an older pet not be himself and then have to come to the ultimate decision of letting go.

The article, “For Veterinarians, Caring For Sick Pets And Grieving Owners Takes A Toll”, by Kasia Galazka states

“When I walked dogs at a Chicago animal shelter, I wondered how each one got there. Whether a stitched-up pup shirked from my touch or happily greeted me tongue-first, my eyes would well up with salt. I wanted to keep them all.”

CANINE CONNECTION: Losing a beloved animal can cause prolonged grief

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

I started off the reply to a reader’s email regarding the passing of her dog with “Sorry for your loss,” but could not get past those four words.

Sourced through Scoop.it from: www.nsnews.com

To some this is amazing, but for those of us who understand the bond of love and the value of our pet as a family member, then we can truly see the long lasting effects of losing them.

We as a species are so callous to non sentient beings and look at individuals who see the true spirit of our friends as odd.  The reality is love of all creation and equality is key.  Losing a pet can cause long term pain because we understand the value and uniqueness of that friend

Grief Healing: Pet Loss: When A Pet Goes Missing

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Sourced through Scoop.it from: www.griefhealingblog.com

This is a horrifying nightmare for pet owners.  Most of us have experienced it. I have with my Siberian Huskies and it puts a pit in your stomach.

The anticipatory grief, the imaginary scenarios all dance in our minds.  It can be sometimes an unresolved issue.

I recall, one time we actually found a stray Siberian Husky and as Husky people took him in.  We put out ads, notified individuals in the community yet he was never picked up by  an owner.  I cannot imagine the pain of the owner, but the husky who recently passed lived a happy 6 years with us, his new family.  This is best scenario we can dream of when we lose a pet, but the scary dreams are always there

Coping with the Loss of a Pet

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Two weeks ago my husband was playing with our dog, Amos, when he felt a lump – a huge lump – on his side.  When I say huge, I mean a humongous golf-ball sized lump that came out of nowhere. Seriously, nowhere; a few days before there was nothing and then suddenly there’s this enormous lump.
