Dealing With Grief for the Loss of a Pet

Pets are surely a bundle of joy. They are always excited to see you whenever you return home from work or school. Their excitement is so obvious that you can’t help but feel the love. However, losing a pet can be one of the hardest experiences for an individual. After all, a pet is just like a child. The way people grieve differs from person to person, and some people find the loss of a pet comes in different stages where they experience feelings of denial, guilt, anger, depression, and finally, acceptance.

On the other hand, some people might find that their grief hurts them. There are highs and lows. The lows would normally be deeper and longer in the starting but would later become shorter and less intense. However, even as the years pass, a special anniversary or date can quickly spark up memories that trigger a strong sadness.

Change Your Way of Thinking for the Better

We all have moments in life when we feel stuck, lost or unsure of ourselves. Whether it’s a personal challenge, a career decision or just a feeling of being stuck in a rut, changing your way of thinking can make a huge difference in your life.

There are enough hours in the day to take care of yourself and others. Is self-care selfish? Were you raised to prioritize others?
Not necessarily. Self-care will improve your health, relationships, job, and caregiving. Start prioritizing yourself today with these easy steps!

Why Don’t We Prioritize?

Most women (and some men) were raised to prioritize others. ‘It’s more blessed to give than to receive’ and ‘Only by giving can you receive more than you already have’ reinforce this.
Our culture values women as carers. 66% of US carers are women, and 30% care for two or more people. Due to national and company parental leave programs, women are more likely to take leave and be the primary carer. In the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, 28% of women with under-18 children left the workforce, compared to 10% of men.
Women are expected to put others first, but doing so may not benefit you, your family, or your loved ones.
