Helping a Loved One with the Loss of a Pet

• No one wants to see someone they care about sad
  devastated heartbroken. But the loss of a pet
  can bring on all these emotions. So, what can you
  do? How can you help? Understanding that your
  significant other, mother, father, sister,
  brother, or friend needs love and support will go
  a long way.

• Many people feel as though they need to downplay
  the grief they feel over losing a beloved pet.
  Let them know that isnt necessary. The cat, dog,
  bird, horse, whatever animal it was, played an
  important role in their life.

• They should take all the time they need to grieve
  without being embarrassed. While your loved one
  is mourning, you can start planning.

• Every pet owner wants to know that their dear
  companion was loved and cherished by others as
  well. Help your loved one through this difficult
  time by commemorating the life of their pet.
  Memorial stones are one way of doing this.

• Companies like Pet Monument Stones work with you
  to design beautiful keepsake memorials. Surprise
  them with a Granite River Rock or Blackstone
  Boulder engraved with the name of their pet as
  well as a special message, a photo or a clip-art
  graphic.

• This is a tribute they can keep in the house or
  garden and take with them should they ever move.
  The simple act of paying your respects will touch
  them more than you could ever know.

• When the memorial stone arrives, gather family
  and friends together and present the gift. Have
  everyone take a turn sharing a special memory of
  the dearly departed animal and say your final
  goodbyes. If it feels right, light a candle in
  their honor or hold a moment of silence.

• One mistake often made is to ask when a new pet
  will come into the home. Even if asked with the
  best of intentions, this is the last thing your
  loved one will probably want to hear or think
  about. When the time is right for them, they will
  let you know.

12

• Some people never get a new pet, others take
  years and some only take a few weeks or months.
  It will be a hard decision to make and one that
  shouldnt be rushed. If or when a new pet does
  enter the picture, they will always have the
  memorial stone to look back on with a smile.

• There is no right or wrong way to grieve the loss
  of a pet. Give your loved one space, time,
  company whatever it is they need. You may be
  grieving along with them or you may not
  understand it.

15

• The thing to remember is, the pain is real and
  mourning is necessary to heal. Be a shoulder to
  cry on, an open ear, a silent companion when
  needed and a talkative one too. Just help your
  loved one keep the memory of their amazing animal
  alive.
