We love our pets so much that sometimes we think of them as human. One of the things that we have to remember is that, no matter how much we love them, our pets are not human. In some ways, however, this is a very good thing. Take, for instance, dogs. Dogs live in the here and now. They do not hold grudges, and they do not get angry today about an incident that occurred yesterday. Say your dog chewed up part of your furniture and had to be disciplined. Three hours later may show the very same dog climbing onto your lap, comforting you when you are sad.
This is something that is very important to remember, especially when you lose a pet. You need to realize that your pet does not hold any grudges against you for anything that occurred before. Sometimes, when our beloved pets pass, we find ourselves thinking about all the things we didn't do for our pet, rather than the things we did do. We think that we didn't spend as much time with them as we should, or that we should've taken them to the groomers more often.
One of the best ways to help work through grief and the feeling of guilt is to talk with other pet owners who have lost their loved ones. They will often be able to help you realize that as long as you loved your pet, they loved you as well. They are not on the other side thinking about all the things you did not do for them, but rather, are on this side of the rainbow bridge waiting to spend time with you once more.
