Universe: Quiet grief of losing a pet - The Tribune
There is a kind of grief that doesn’t often get the recognition it deserves — the grief of losing a pet. When your pet passes away, it doesn’t feel like the world is mourning with you. There are no grand ceremonies, no funeral services and no widespread acknowledgements. But the truth is, the grief that follows the loss of a pet is just as deep, just as painful and just as real as any other form of loss.
