Your article is well written and one that many veterinarians would appreciate sharing with clients. Many people first experience death and grief through the loss of a pet. They are often confused, surprised at all the emotion and do not have an experience to help them navigate the loss.

Thank you so much for sharing this perspective. 🤍🐾 You’re so right, many people don’t realize how profound pet loss can be until they experience it themselves. For so many, it’s their first encounter with deep grief, and having compassion and guidance during that time can make such a difference. ❤️
