We often forget, or we simply ignore, the stress that the loss of a beloved pet puts on us. Our hearts, our minds, and our spirits take a hard hit, and there remain a bruise left where that pain struck. We may not be able to see it, but we can definitely feel it.
To heal, we need to restore our souls back to that good place where it once was. Yes, we do heal on our own, and time greatly helps the journey, of course. But sometimes things get hidden, like splinters that have worked their way in and we don’t really realize they are there, we just feel the discomfort.
We can be the healthiest if we take action. After the grief, we need to give time and space for recovery. We can treat ourselves without asking why.
We need to shine a light on what has happened, allow ourselves to feel the pain, and then allow ourselves the time we need to heal it. This way, we can, and should, help ourselves through it, owing it to our loved ones, our own hearts and spirits, our mind and our other pets.
