1. Don’t let anyone say it's crazy to be grieving the loss of a pet. Intense grief is natural and normal when losing a beloved member of the family.
2. Don’t expect to feel grief in only one way. Grief isn’t just one emotion. It is unique to everyone and comes in different ways, and lasts different amounts of time.
3. Honor their life in one way or another. For many, skipping this step inhibits the chance to begin the healing process.
4. Remember other pets can also grieve the loss. Make sure to give them extra love, attention and care.
5. Share feelings and emotions with a close, pet-friendly, friend. There's not need to grieve alone, and remember to practice self-care.
