Coping with the sudden loss of a pet
The death of a pet is a dreadful thing but when that death is sudden it can be devastating for adults and children alike. It can take several days for the fact to sink in and feelings of guilt or anger are common.
The sudden death of a pet can make children think about the death of their siblings and parents, lots of reassurance is needed at this time.
It is often a good thing if you and your family get the opportunity to say goodbye. The sight of your dead pet can be upsetting but in the longer term it can help you come to terms with the loss and start the grieving process. Most Vets are sensitive to owners needs in these circumstances so don’t be afraid to ask.
