Saying Goodbye to Buddy
When you lose your beloved pet dog or cat, you are truly losing a loved member of you family.
For most people, this experience can be just as painful as losing a human family member or friend.
When losing a pet, it can be harder to gain closure because other people don't understand the grief that you are going through.
But don't worry; there are several steps to ensure a proper goodbye to your pet.
The first method for planning a pet funeral is to invite all of the people who knew the pet and truly understood your connection.
Just like at a human's memorial, invite people to eulogize and speak about the deceased.
After all, the love that you had for your pet is just as real as connections that you have with other human beings.
Why not dedicate some time to memorialize your dog's or cat's memory? Another step to take in grieving for your loss is to provide a proper burial.
You may choose to bury the remains in a pet cemetery.
This way, you can always visit the grave site to pay your respects.
Some people like to bury their pets in their backyards so that they can be close to their pets.
However, please consider that you may move someday.
If it is against the law in your area to bury your pet where you'd like to, consider burying its toys and other belongings in that spot instead.
You can still create a grave site to memorialize your pet.
This can be another way to provide a spot where all mourners can grieve and remember.
A third issue to tackle is grieving.
Although you might feel funny about grieving over your pet, this is a completely valid step in saying goodbye to your loyal companion.
If you feel the need to cry, then do it! You might also share your feelings with someone that you trust.
A fourth issue to consider when your pet dies is the emotions of other people.
Most likely, your pet meant a lot to other people as well.
For instance, if you have children, make sure that they are handling the situation in a healthy manner.
Invite them to discuss their feelings and provide input for the memorial plans.
One last way to honor your deceased pet is to take in another pet.
After you have finished the grieving process, treat another animal in the same manner that you treated your pet.
This way, you are continuing to love animals and your pet's importance will live on.
Your pet probably means a lot to you and your family.
In fact, you probably consider it to be part of the family in the same way that your brothers or sisters are.
This is why it's so hard to say goodbye to a deceased pet.
