Pet Bereavement Support Group
The loss of a pet or animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss, comparable with the death of a loved one. Whilst there is strong evidence that animals can feel such loss for other animals, this community focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed.
I am surprised about the containers not being marked. but I think what you suggested would honor them and be right.
i know how hard it still is for you, and I don't know how long it will take, it has also been a month for me too. It's strange without not having my girl around, I miss her, I still stroke her bed cover.
I suppose you can't put a time on something like grieving, I am still grieving, the pain has lessened, and it is getting easier for me, but it doesn't diminish my love for jess, or how much I miss her. I still cry. and I am reminded of her everyday.
I think it just takes time. One day at a time GMJan. thinking of you.
