Grieving
and Pet Loss
This site, written by Margaret Muns, DVM, explores the grief associated
with the loss of a pet. Psychologists have long recognized that the
grief suffered by pet owners after their pet dies are the same as
that experienced after the death of a person. The death of a pet means
the loss of a non-judgmental love source. There is no longer anything
for the pet owner to nurture and care for. Furthermore, the owner
looses his or her contact with "the natural world." These
feelings can be particularly intense for the elderly, single people
and childless couples, (for whom the pet also is a child substitute).
