• Pet Loss Grief Support...
Disenfranchisement towards the loss of a pet is unfortunate. The loss of a pet is real loss. Too many individuals, losing a pet is like losing a family member. Dogs and cats are like children to many and the loss of a dog or cat should be taken seriously in grief counseling.
Pet Loss Grief Support recognizes the loss of a pet and looks to help others through the grieving period. The American Academy of Grief Counseling offers a four year certification in Pet Loss Grief Support for qualified professionals. The program is online and independent study and open to qualified professionals.
Please review the program and see if it meets your professional and academic goals.

Grief the Price of Love
• Grief Counseling: Grie...
I unexpectedly lost my 2 year old baby boxer last night, my heart is shattered. Coming home to an empty house. The memories, our daily bond.
People don't understand its not just a pet it's another loyal, loving, most sincere little piece of heaven you lost.
💔
I’m in so sorry, I just lost my kitty the day for yesterday, he was older but my special sweet boy. It is so true what you said, pets are more then animals they take a piece of our heart ♥️ and just love them so much they are family.
I lost my six year old female pup in June 1, 2021. Her name is Huan Huan. My heart was completely shatter. Even now, over nine months on, i still miss her so..much because she was the only thing I love most with my entire heart. Not even my parents nor my brother can compare to her. Every morning, when a wake up, the very first thing that comes into my mind is my Huan Huan goes. In the aftermath of her passing, i dared not stay in my house because trails she left behind, especially her furs, would bring back memories of the good old days when we were together.
The passing of my grandma hit me a lot, but in all my 37 years of life so far, the passing of Huan Huan my puppy hit me the hardest with the most unimaginable traumatising severity. I kept cry whenever I was alone in the first few months. I just couldn't cope with the reality that she was forever gone. I would never be able to put her in my arms and sleep with her laying at my side. The sole wish is that she is now living in a better world and that one day we could be reunited. The reason I share my grief with you is for you to keep in mind that you are not alone grieving our pet loss.
You understand me well
You speak my heart ❤️🐾🐈
I had to put my dog down last WK my heart is broken she was 15 I can't stop crying I don't think I'll ever get another pup I just want my pup back 😭
I feel the same way too when my baby girl penny died I don't want another dog she was the only one I had in my life for 15 years and I still grief over her
@@johuffines3560 the only reason why I don't want another dog is because I don't want to go through all the hurt and pain I went through when my beloved dog penny died she meant the world to me and my brother thinks I am losing my mind when I say goodnight to penny and I kept all her toys and her doggie bed in my bedroom where she died) and I still miss her so much too)
@@johuffines3560 my sister has 5 dogs that she does not deserve to have wshe had other dogs before and when they would get sick she would' not take them to the vet) her back yard is a pet seminary) my sweet baby penny was supposed to have her teeth clean at the vet when my sister took her) but she didn't tell me what the vet doctor did to her because she was' nt sick and two days later she died)
You’ve had so much joy from your pet and gave so much joy to your pet, please get another one. The joy will outweigh the pain. I know it hurts. I’ve had pets all my life. I just can’t live without a pet. Pets make me happy.
I'm sorry for your loss I had to do the same thing last week and my dog was 17 years old my heart is broken in a million pieces
It hasn't even been a full 24 hrs. Praying time will heal. The pain and grief is horrible. My eyes are almost swollen shut. I was with my 13 yr old Silky Terrier, Sparky, 24/7. He was my routine. EVERY morning I came down stairs he smiled, wagged his tail and tapped danced for me (us) because he was so excited to see us. He was my responsibility all day, every day. He truly brought us so much joy. I've always heard that losing a pet can be worse than losing a family member, with this loss I have to agree. And now I worry about Max (Silky Terrier) too, he will be lost and confused. He's going from room to room and whining looking for his buddy. Just now when I picked him up, he licked my tears and he never tries to lick my face. He knows. Oh this is going to so hard for all of us. 💔😔
So sorry spgal I know how heart breaking it is to lose a pet that you love I lost my beloved baby girl penny on June 29 2022 and it's hard for me to stop crying over her she was a good dog too but I pray to our lord I'm going to get over this
❤
I feel this… I had my cat for 20 years, 2 months and 8 days and we had our routine and I had someone to love living alone and now I don’t know how to exist anymore without her because everything I did was around her for her… I feel like living dead, I feel hollow inside
My dog died yesterday ......and seeing his bed empty him not being there when I get up breaks my heart I miss him so much its an unbearable pain
So sad and heart breaking to hear
I kept her blanket, and for the first 2 weeks, I would pick it up and smell her. It's been 8 weeks now, the blanket doesn't smell like her anymore, but my heart is still shattered and would be for a very long time. Probably forever. I loved her very much.
It truly is. There's nothing like it.
We lost our handsome, loyal and loving 15 year old Papillon Lucius on October 25, 2021 to a massive seizure caused by an undiagnosed brain tumor. He never left our sight. He was never left home. We are crushed. We are empty and so lonely. We don’t know how we are going to survive without him. He was our son. We have no children.
Yesterday we lost one of our cats, we had him for 14 years but had to be put down because he couldn’t walk, couldn’t eat, tried to hide in corners, dilated pupils, he was in so much pain.
I am devastated, we thankfully still have his brother, but I don’t know if i’ll ever be able to work through this, he had the cutest white nose and i miss him so much.
💔 for the loss of your furry pet
My little furry baby was diagnosed with liver cancer 2 months ago.n will be leaving me soon n I can't bear to let her go..she has no appetite to eat n all skin n bone..I hav'nt stop crying since the day she was diagnosed with this horrible disease....but eventually I hav to let her go n told her I will meet her someday again
Lisa Burke,
We have two grown married children and losing our dog of 9 years hurt us just as much. We have another dog and I raised them together. My surviving dog is so hurt and misses his companion so badly
that we are all heart broken and nothing seems the same anymore to us seeing both dogs running and playing together.
I always said that the more people I meet........ The more I love my dogs. The same goes for cats.
You pet's energy will always be with you. Look around carefully and get another pet and you will find your new pet doing the same things that your deceased pet will be doing because they will combine their energy into each other. Believe me. It's what your deceased pet will want you to do.
Pet grief is real. I’m sorry anyone is going through pain. God is with you❤️
My son and I have six dogs between us. One of his dogs is about 15 yrs old and we were trying to prepare for her passing. But unexpectedly, his 7 yr old pup died a terrible death last Monday. We are devastated. I found that, at least for me, that the loss of a pet is worse than losing grandparents, parents or a sibling. My first dog was murdered over 50 yrs ago and I will always grieve his loss. Sending love and positive thoughts to all who have lost a pet, who are aware animals are sentient beings and to be loved and valued. RIP Buddha.
I have had a tragic sudden loss and I literally cried and felt guilt for five years. I finally had to ease up on myself when I learned that grieving like this delays their soul from moving on in the afterlife. I tend to believe that bc they love us so much and they would try to soothe our hearts. I had to let my pup move forward. Then, last week I lost my soul dog. He was always at my feet for 12 years. I don't recognize this world without my furchild. There is no forgetting them. EVER.
It's Wednesday December 22, 2021. At 11:15Pm on Tuesday December 14 my beloved cat, C K Dexter Haven died
in my arms. I'm 72 and C K was my life. He was 11years old and, I thought, healthy, with soft silky fur that smelled clean
and pure. C K had a seizure and I did everything I could think of to save him, even putting his head in my mouth to blow
life into him. And I saw, God I saw the spark of life leave his eyes. I howled, screamed and fell apart. I have never felt such
grief and sorrow and have been crying, weeping for long periods for over a week now. I can't believe C K is gone. He will
never jump on my bed and my chest, kneading me while slowly blinking his big beautiful eyes. I feel hollow, broken and
can't sleep, don't want to sleep. My little lion would let me put my head on his belly while I scratched him behind his ears
or sleep curled up on my feet, and if I moved he would know it. There are no words to describe how much I miss him.
I have made arrangements to have C K cremated and have told my daughter that when I die to mix his ashes with mine.
I love you C K. You will forever be part of my being, my soul. If you have read this comment I Thank You from my heart.
I m so sorry to hear about your beloved C K. We had to put down our 13 year old beagle boy on Nov 30th and I feel your pain. Take care and hold onto his memories.
@@nandhinirangaraj4045 Thank You for your compassion and understanding. 13 years was still too short a time to
have someone who completely trusted you and gave you unconditional love. I know you still grieve. My sincere
condolences. Be well.
Yesterday I lost my beloved cat Joey due to him being hit by a car. We think he broke his neck, but even then my father was trying his best to find some form of life to resurrect but there was nothing.
We had a cat before him and even though she lived for 20 years and she was there my whole life I didn’t have the connection with her.
With Joey, he always slept on my bed, he always woke me up, we were a Team and I loved him so so much and I am at the point where I am unsure if I can even be happy again.
I am truly sorry to hear about your loss and hope that after those 6 months you’ve found a new source of security and happiness.
@@alexandermadersbacher1637 There are no words that I could say to assuage your pain and sorrow. When you need Joey, just whisper his name in your heart...and Joey will be there. Last month on June 14th, 2022 I had two letters tattooed on my forearm..CK. Don't keep your sorrow inside yourself, it will make your grief worse.
R.I.P. Joey.
@@ericblair54 I don’t think you understand how much this reply from you made me feel better. When I read your comment I started crying and I realised that life is something so wonderful but also so terrible at the same time. I hope that C K watches over you and that him and Joey spend some time playing together in cat heaven.
I myself had a NDE, and when I saw where we ourselves go, our pets, all of them we have lost during our life time, were all there waiting for me - us on the other side. gave me a very comforting, happy, joyful feeling , believe me they are there.
Were they all together playing or did you just see yours?
I want to believe but I haven’t had any messages and I fear it’s just a dark abyss
@@SoundOfOceanBlue It's not. If you want to believe, you just believe. Have faith and don't doubt.
Both of my animals are in heaven 🌈🌈 my dog is forever 11 & my cat is forever 15. I just lost my cat on 04/26/24, I had to put her to sleep. The pain medication made her go into renal failure. This is the first time in my life I have never had a pet 😢 it’s the most boring thing ever! They prepared me for what’s next to come. I am expecting a baby, so maybe I can get another animal for the next chapter of my life. ❤
I lost my cat Sushi on Saturday November 25 2023 ,it was all of a sudden.Had her for 8 and a half years .I miss her so much🙏🙏🙏😿😿😿
I only had Hank for 5 years before he died. There's never enough time.
I am sorry about everybody who lost their loved pets and paw-children. We lost our beloved dog, Fluffy, yesteday afternoon. I am still so heartbroken, finding it difficult to realign and refocus on my daily routine. The pain is made worse by those who downplay our grief, seeing it only as "a dog, no big deal".
The distress is immense....and lasted longer than grieving for my parents!
I am so sorry. I understand your grief as I lost my cat about 2 weeks ago and I am heartbroken. She was the only family I had.
no pet is just "a pet" . Every one is a big deal, a part of someone's soul, a part that leaves an unreplaceable hole in our lives when we are separated.
People who say it's no big deal have never had a loving pet. They become part of your family and are forever loved. I know, I just lost my little mama cat yesterday.
Thanks Marcy, thanks everyone.
Daniel, I am so sorry about loss, and sincere condloences to you. May she cross the rainbow bridge and rest in purrfect peace.
Lost our precious Beau, so heartbroken, the grief is so painful, miss him sooo much, our lil boy.
Lost my BEST FRIEND ROXI FRIDAY MORNING AND I FEEL SOOOOOOOO LOST NOW......NOTHING FEELS NORMAL!!!! ID GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE ROXI BACK NOW !!!!!🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔💔💔💔🥺😢🥺😢🥺😢
I don’t think I’ll ever bear children but I know what it feels like to be a mother through my little four legged one. Had to let him go in December after he fought brain cancer. He was the brave one for months fighting and then I had to be brave and let him go. I carry him as close to my heart as I can ❤️
I must say after losing my beautiful 11 yr. old Golden Retriever all of a sudden, if someone says it is just a dog to me, they will get punched in the throat!
I just lost my cat of 17 years. I keep on crying. It's very hard. She is like losing my baby. She was my baby, and I will always love her. But there is some comforting knowing I gave her a home and she lived very well. I denied her nothing. She really lived a very good life. I think she died of natural old age. Her system just shut down, and she did not suffer. She loved to be held the whole time. As long as I held her she fell asleep and was very comfortable, so I let her die naturally. Her breathing was calm. Still, I had her for 17 loving years and she is now gone.
We had to put our cat to sleep today. We've had him for 15 years and I can't imagine this house without him. This is, without exaggeration, the worst experience I've ever had. Maybe that just speaks to how fortunate I am not to have lost a close human family member, but I definitely don't feel fortunate right now.
we had to put our childhood cat to sleep two months ago and i'm still grief-struck. my heart goes out to you. the pain is unimaginable
We had to do the same with our Puss cat 3 weeks ago, we had him for 14 years and im truly heartbroken.He loved everyone and everyone loved him. I feel for you.
My pets whom have gone to Heaven are missed everyday. My first dog, a mixed Beagle, saved me from depression for many years when I was a young girl. Two more dogs also did the same. Now I have my first cat, whom came at four weeks of age, and is now 8. My cat keeps me sane and in a joy that is hard to describe. I do commemorate my crossed over pets with their photos and tags. Pets are our close, close friends!
That’s what animals do for us...
We lost our beagle 4 days ago, it has felt like an eternity. PUGGLES saved me from depression also and gave me the strength I have today. 🐶
My Russian blue cat has passed away today.😢 I am sad. My husband doesn’t like me to cry but I do when he is not home 😢. I cannot see comment in my time. December 1, 2023 I lost my 17 years of friend.😢
Thank you for validating that pets are family members and the loss of them should not be minimized. I, like others here have stated, recently lost a pet, and my heart goes out to all of them; it's a devastating loss to experience. I also believe that the Lord will allow for us to be reunited with our pets. Thank you for this video.
Well said!
Pet Parents must realize that everything has to pass away one day and nothing is permanent to stay here, its just a matter of time..and time can heal the greatest of wounds mental or physical..life has to move on..i lost my loving dog i coundnt imagine my life without it...its been 2 years now it passed away now iam ok..i keep feeding street dogs and serve them, take care of them in memory of my dog.
It is others who make us feel is not as important as losing a human. People who lose pets are forced to 'hold it together' by outsiders. I'm still grieving 18 months after losing my baby girl. Can I talk about that? No. She was 'just a dog'. Death is death and whomever it is in your life who dies is ALWAYS important be it a human or a pet.
I lost my boy...my lovely , kind, gentle, loyal, friendly, loving little cairn terrier at the end of July.....I’ve stopped crying on such a regular basis now...just occasionally now...but I can’t get over not having him here with me....
Hugs my friend , I lost my boy Bear of twenty years and I know how much it hurts..❤️
I lost my puppy June 1 2021. I miss her every single day and night. When I was alone, it was so difficult. Five months on, My heart is still aching. Though I love her more than anything in the world I had not given her enough care. Sorry my Huanhuan my baby girl.
Thanks this has helped me
I had to put down my best friend last weekend. She was so smart, considerate and amazing. I had her since I was 10. She comforted me and my family for so long, it's hard to believe she's gone. Our family won't ever be the same. My only comfort is that she's no longer suffering anymore. My heart goes out to everyone who has to go through this pain.
So sorry shadow
I’m so sorry for your loss. I u sweats for how you feel I lost my baby Cupcake in March ,she was 13 . It’s been 6 months and I still think about her everyday. And miss her so much 😢💔
I too had to put down my best friend last Saturday 10/2. I am so sad. Been a very rough week.
It sucks
Thanks everyone. Hope you're all doing alright. Ngl I've had some happy dreams of my pup since then so I hope we can take it as a sign that our pets are in a peaceful place now.
I lost my 16-year-old dog on this Monday. I knew the day would come as she had a bad heart. I sure wasn't expecting this week. This hit me hard as she was the last of my parent's dog (My mom died 7 years ago. My dad died 5 years ago). I thought it was just the 102 temps. I gave her a cool down. I waited to see if that would work to cool her body down. She wasn't herself. She was breathing fast, and I could feel her a rattle in her ribcage area. My gut said, "Call the ER vet." I quickly did and I had my friends rush me to the vet with my dog. The vet gave me the bad news and he said the meds wasn't working anymore. I didn't want her to suffer and we both agreed. It's still hard as I found out on fb memories today was the day my parents and I rescued her 13 years ago.
Had to put my little dog (pic) to sleep this last week due to complications of congestive heart failure. I'm feeling very low, as is my other dog. He was an integral part of our 'Three Amigos', especially the last year of this pandemic. Be kind to animals when they're your companions folks, when you lose them it's for keeps. Give them all your love while you can.
Sorry for your loss my heart goes to you and everyone who has any loss of their beloved fur baby.
Thank you Jayne, you are very kind. My best regards back to you.
@@jayneshort6103 she was my best friend
Amen! Just lost my 2 year old collie, I still put table scraps in his bowl because I hope he sees I'm still thinking of him like he's still here. I told him everyday how much I loved him and thanked God for him every night! I thank God for him bringing such a cool dog into my life! I love God even more because he Blessed me with such a great dog!
I just lost my baby to congestive heart failure also. Horrible.
3 days ago my dog, Chico, was rushed to the vets after collapsing. The following day the vet informed me he had severe liver and kidney failure and was already turning yellow with jaundice. Their professional opinion was within the next 24 hours he would begin to feel a constant pain throughout his stomach, and begin a steady deterioration. She allowed me a final 30 mins with my boy in private (which i could genuinely never thank her enough for) but after that he was sent to his slumber with his chin in my hands and our heads pressed together. It is the single hardest thing i have ever experienced and still cant figure out which pain is causing the biggest hole, the aching of knowing he's gone, or the crushing guilt. My heart truly goes out to anyone going through the loss of a non human family member.
P.S. Someone once told me they like to think the amount of pain a goodbye causes is = to how unbreakable the bond between was. That thought has helped me enormously with my grief over the last 3 days and slowly but surely is helping to turn my sadness into a celebration of our time spent together.
You did the right thing and yes... it is still such a profound loss. I wish you peace.
My little Chihuahua, Pinky, was taken away by an Eagle two weeks ago. My sorrow is overwhelming. She was not just a dog. I am acrophobic and she was my world.😢
Omg that's terrible she died a horrible death
@@eg5262 not what she needed to hear..
@@eg5262 I’m still grieving my Pinky😞
@@myotheraccountonothe she’s looking over you ,she knows that one day she will be reunited with you in heaven ❤️
Oh, dear, that’s awful. I lost the sweetest kitty ever five months ago to a dog attack that happened right on my front porch with me there. The dog was roaming loose, ran up on my front porch, grabbed my cat, and mauled her. I screamed at the dog and it slung my cat into a porch column. The dog ran off and I thought things were okay, but the damage was too great and my cat died moments later. It was a violent, horrifying experience, but what you had to go through sounds worse. How helpless you must’ve felt! I think about what happened to my cat every single day, and I’m sure it’s the same for you. I miss my kitty so very much, and sites like this one are the only places I find comfort, since you can’t talk about these things to most people. They don’t understand. God bless you and little Pinky, and may He bring you peace and healing.
My baby boy left me 2 months ago. He’s all I have got. I miss him sooo much. I cry all the time. My mind is going crazy. My heart doesn’t feel good. I feel I’m dead.
Thankyou mate. I had to put my cat Charlie to sleep a few days ago and i've never experienced emotional pain like it. Your video has helped. The house feels empty without him here
So sorry you lost Charlie. You are so right about the house feeling empty when they are gone. The love and caring between the two of you can't be replaced.
I work in veterinary medicine, and I have for 10 years. I lost my soulmate, or my heart dog as some people say, on Sunday. I thought my experience in the veterinary world would make this even an ounce easier, but it absolutely has not. Atlas "Peter" Franklin has a hundred or more nick names. I adopted him as a senior dachshund (he was at least 10 years old) and he lived to be 14 years old. I feel guilty that I couldn't save him. I've taken care of dachshunds at work who were 16, 17, even 18 years old, so I feel guilty that he only lived to be 14. I have 3 other dogs at home that I'm trying to care for. I have a 12-year-old dog who has cancer on her heart that has spread to her lungs. She will be joining my Petey baby on the other side soon. How do I cope with this? I took time off from work. I spend 20+ hours a day crying. My face burns. I have a headache all the time. My eyes are swollen. I'm not sure how to get through this.
I know this is 11 months ago but I just wanted to say I'm sorry for your pain and I understand. Take care
❤
I just lost my 4 year old German Shepard to a rare condition. I did everything to try to save her. I got her as a pup when I got out of the Army after 10 years. I buried her myself and poured holy water on her. I tell you, it is the most terrible/heartbreaking moment of my life, but one must grieve properly and continue forward, I wish animals had more time.
I lost my baby just a week ago, it was a much too sudden accident, and it's so awful because in a time like this, she would be the one to help comfort me. I've had multiple cats before, but all of them had a gradual build up to their time, I was able to prepare myself and say goodbye when they had to go. I adopted my baby about 10 years ago, her and her sister, whom I am very fortunate to still have around. She was the first pet that I had that I could say was "mine", as she had grown attached to me. She was very loving to everyone in the house, but she was mine most of all, she would follow me around more often than not, almost like a dog might. I taught her most of the ways she interacted with people. I grew up with her, and she grew up with me, and we learned one another as time went on. She would always hop up onto a chair or a desk and look up at me, wanting me to pick her up and hold her, and she would always bump noses, those were the signs of affection that I had essentially taught her as we grew up. I wish I could hold her again. She meant so much to me, and I was expecting several more years with her, it's unfair that she was taken so soon.
I feel your pain and feelings for your pup. Mine died five months ago I miss her everyday, heart still aching. She had been living with me for five years. We were always together she was so..attached to me. She was a small beautiful quiet girl.
We lost our little baby Daisy of Irish Setter, she was only 2,5years old on Tuesday morning, she was dealing with really bad autoimunne disease and her body just gave up, at the end she god her second aspiration pneumonia, she had really high fever. We got a new bigger apartment because of her, and the ''quiet'' in here is just unbearable :( we miss her so much
My pets who crossed the Rainbow Bridge are missed everyday ..i still cry whenever i remember them🙏😢
These videos help, thanks. Some of us find it tough ask for help out loud so listening to videos like these help alot.
Been 20 hrs since we had a tragic accident to Beau, it's so damn hard.
Thank you.
I am devastated, never thought this would happen
i lost my little friend yesterday, 11 year old jack russell terrier mix. i’ve lost other dogs, and a sibling, so i know grief way too well. but the issue i, having trouble with, is that Oreo my little boy was with me through all the previous traumatic experiences.. he was the one licking my face when i had to cry, he was worried for me. he was always there. he always made sure to be by my side on the darkest days. he was there for me. now without him, i feel there’s not a soul on earth who cares as much as he did, because he was there.
i lost my beautiful doggy 2 days ago. i never knew such grief & pain could exist. im not doing well. i love him so much.
We had to say goodbye to our dog and I've been grieving for almost 3 weeks now. I joined the rainbow bridge forum online and it helps. Makes me feel less alone in this pain. It's on my mind 24/7
I had to put my minpin down on Tuesday. I know it was the right thing to do for him, he was in pain after 17 wonderful years together. I kept saying "I am sorry" as I held him close to me.I feel guilty and the pain is unbearable.
I just lost my kind, beautiful, best friend and kitty son of 16 years old . I'm so devastated and so heartbroken.
I am so sorry to hear
@@AIHCP thank you!
I’m here because I had to put my 14 year old pug to sleep 4 days ago. It hurts a great deal and it’s traumatizing for me.
I just put my dog to sleep last night. He just turned 15. I loved that dog so much, but to keep him around would be cruel since he was obviously suffering.
I am broken and shattered.
I lost my sweet boy Toby 8 days ago and literally feel like death.
I cry everyday, and the fatigue is overwhelming.
I am looking for a support group, but can't find one
Same here. It's been 8 weeks now, and I realise I need help to cope with this.
Pet loss is equally valid regardless of the animal species. a cat, a horse or an goldfish, they are all loved just as mutch.
Yes!
My little sancho is gone at 9 months smashed by a car.
The emptyness that followed is hard to describe such as the pain.
My house has never been so empty
As he left I realized how much he filled my life with love.
.my Sancho was another level puppy.
I'm sorry Sancho for the long days u spent in the garden waiting for daddy.
I loved u so much and I had plans for us2.
I should so much have fixed this hole in the fence really.
Sancho you Ve been an angel to me
I just lost my best friend ( dog) jasper he was my eyes since I be came vision impairment due to cancer now I don't have him I'm so heart broken
TRY HAVING A MEDICAL CAT FOR 23 YEARS, HE WAS ALREADY 2 YEARS OLD BEFOR I RECEIVED HEM,
IM SO HEART BROKEN OF THE LOST OF MY FRIEND, ITS BEEN 2 YEARS NOW,
🛡🇺🇸🌟📜🌟🇺🇸🛡
I’m smiling becuz I’m imagining the presenters huskies all vocalizing/singing when they meet up again.
I lost my cat Ginger over 14 years ago, and I still miss her everyday. Not a day goes by that I do not think of her. That cat LOVED me more than I deserved. The moment when we were parted haunts me and I wish I could go back and hold her in my arms again. My only comfort is that I will meet her again when I die.
I lost Little Boots a week ago. He was my son, and there's no getting around that. Ive had him since he was two days old, and I bottle fed him morning, noon, and night. He was a sheep, and he never stopped following me around like he did when he was a little lamb.
The day he died, I wasn't there. I was working. I felt my side warm up the way it did when he leaned against me. There is no convincing me that he doesn't exist somewhere outside his body energetically after that. I know what I felt. Little coincidences keep popping up that remind me he is with me in some way.
We buried him beneath his favorite tree, with sweets and tobacco. Both things he wasn't supposed to eat as a sheep, but he got anyway because he stole them from us. I have his toys that still have his smell, and bags of wool to hold. The sunshine feels like when he would try to snuggle. He was, and still is, my world.
Never in my life have I believed myself worthy of love before him, but something in his eyes told me that I was wrong about myself. He has moved me to be compassionate, to be kinder, to be more present with the people around me. In his death he is showing me there are people who care for me. Those who brush his death off are quickly being removed from my life, as i won't tolerate their insensitivity anymore. I want to be surrounded by those who love like him. Who steal my snacks, but are there on the days I'm crying to support me through hard times.
And when I go, I will have many friends because of him, and because we walked beside one another. If I never have another pet, my whole life, and all the pain that has come with it, has been worth it just because I got to see him smile.
Its been six days since I had to put my cat to sleep. This has been a grief stricken week for ne. I cant stop crying & thinking about my boy Lucky. He was so sweet & beautiful. I have lost many close family over the years & him being a cat does not minimize the pain. Im just as heartbroken. God bless you Lucky. 🙏🏼
sending you strength and courage; lucky sounds like he was a good boy. it's been more than a day that my kitten has gone missing in a particularly unsafe neighborhood, and given the fact that she's only 2-3 months old, it's hard not to assume the worst. i can only imagine what you had to go through.
@@cluejpg Thank you. I’m sorry about your kitten. I hope & pray that you find her. They become our babies. 🙏🏼
So sorry for the loss of your special fish 😞 loss is loss no matter what what is lost 😞 Your fish was just as special as my Chihuahua. 😞
The heart break 💔 I will gladly suffer over and over again💖 Never have they done harm or damage and just left paw prints on my heart. They've saved my life more times than I can count so many good memories the experience and the meditation and the talk therapy. ❤ Rip to my heart for now it is their only home.They taught me patience and communication Responsibility and companionship.
Thank you but even after 3 months it hurts just the same. My Roxy saved me and grandson from rattle snake and Bob Cat. She came one day in winter a throw away dog who jumped on door for help. She was hurt bleeding and flee infested. I looked in her eyes a pitbull . I saw in her what I was missing. I miss her so much.
i lost my loved female dog almost 15 years old last wednesday
i m devastated
i lost my old golden 3 years ago
i want to be with them again forever
One day you will again
@@AIHCP i hope thank very much you for your answer
I lost my best friend and baby on 7/20/2021, I am so lonely without her and cannot seem to fill the hole. I am retired now snd my husband (indifferent to pets) does not want any pets so we can travel. I am also concerned I am now too old to get a baby as I would not want to die and leave it. Still heartbroken and lonely.
My chico, 13 years old passed yesterday, he was and is every thing to me, my heart is broken 💔 I can't stop crying, can't eat or sleep.
I, want my chico back , I loved him with all my heart.
My pets kittens whom are no longer with me ... broke my heart into million of pieces and I can't forget them each single day, and no one would understand the lost that occupies the emptiness of my heart and the pain never goes away ..... I missed them so much . They are my family, and I don't know what to do to filled up the voied in my heart.
My kitty Sparky passed on Saturday 💔
Two days ago I lost my little mama cat. Seven years ago she showed up in our backyard as a small kitten and she never left. We made her a bed in the garage and she lived there but was never willing to come in the house. Over time she trusted us and would always come running when we went out into the yard. Sadly another feral cat got into the garage and fought her giving her serious wounds. We had hope she would recover and the vet gave us hope but it was not to be. I miss her so much and the pain of guilt and grief are almost to much to bare.
My cat has been missing for 8 days now and I'm starting to doubt if I will see her again. It's having a big effect on me. I was a caregiver for my sick mum for over ten years and looking after her as her suffering got worse, especially in the last six months until she passed, has already left me severely depressed and with PTSD. My cat was just about stopping me going under, and without her I now have no regular contact with any living thing.
Never leave cats outside.
I don't own pets I adopt them they are my children I had to have my baby put down on Halloween and on the form I had to figure out and sign it said pet parent or guardian I loved that
Great video. Thanks!
Beautiful post and timely for me at this moment. Thank you very much.
You are so welcome
Had to put our dog down last night at 6:30. Had her for 12 years. I’m about to lose my mind. I have guilt for times I’ve yelled at her. I posted it on my community page if you’d like to look.
I'm soooooo guilty too for every time I lost my patience with my boy 💔💔💔💔
I feel guilty for all the things I wanted to do with my pup but never made time to do. I’d give anything for one last hike or trip to the beach.
@@TheChristianRiv I felt sad about that too and keep asking "did I make him happy?"
We just put our 14 year old boy cat down May 2, 2024. Our hearts are broken. He died of kidney failure. There is always alot of guilt but we have to remember the joy they brought not the rough times. God bless all the fur babies.💜🙏🕊🐱🐶☮️🌹💕
Thank you
I just had to put my beautiful! Pup down Hannah mae I’m so lost 😞 😢 my heart is broken 😢
I lost my Petey yesterday. He was 11 years old and I am so devastated. I will miss my furry son so much. I needed to hear this. 💔💔😭😭
We had to put down our beautiful fur baby possum nearly 20 years on 18 December 2021 I’m so heartbroken I miss her every day she was my best friend is there for everything I’m so sad I always thought should be here forever that’s what hurt the most love her to the moon and back😥🥲
Thank you AIHCP for making this video, it's one of the most helpful that I've come across. I lost my 2 year old rough collie, Jupiter2, last week, he backed out of his leash and collar while out on his nightly walk and ultimately was struck and killed on 71. I couldn't find him anywhere, I was sure someone had picked him up and that it was only a matter of time till I had my boy back! It was an ODOT driver from the Medina OH post that found him on the road and this man had the grace to stop and pull my boy from the road... he saw one of the flyers made for Jupiter and called me last Saturday morning, I totally lost it...But maybe I'm one of the lucky pet dads because at least I have closure. I wish I had never taken him out that night! He was my buddy, my pal, we traveled everywhere together! He was a lot of fun and I miss him so much
i lost my rough collie yesterday. we had to say goodbye, he had been suffering for quite a while with bad arthritis and dementia. he was a stunningly beautiful blue merle rough collie. sweet affectionate loyal. i am grieving horribly right now even though it was the right thing to do to end his suffering. i try to take comfort in that. i wish i could get another collie but they are hard to find in the southwest where i am. i take it you are in ohio? interstate 71? i used to live there and remember that highway....that is tough to lose a collie in his prime like that! i will keep you in my prayers. many hugs to you! my daughter lost her dog a few years ago she broke loose from her collar and ran across the street and was killed infront of her. horrible.
@@bachplayer13 May you be Blessed with peace! Our dogs have souls too, but while our dogs and all of God's creatures play at the feet of God, we are closest to His heart! my priest came to my home, performed a Blessing, and said the most Beautiful prayer about God's love for all of the creatures He has created. When our priest was a boy his dad was breeding and raising Huskies, so he understands people and their dogs.He says our dogs that pass on are always with us!

I had to put my dog down yesterday and I miss him so much and I feel so guilty
Guilt is natural to feel. It can be part of grief but also remember it can also be toxic. AFTER talking about it to others and hearing it outloud , realize you loved your dog and it was the humane and best decision for him. Your love is forever and one day youll see your dog again in the next life---this is what many believe, as do I
❤ thank you so much for caring it's been 4 months and I still miss and love him
i lost my chihuhuha dog jacob i loved him so much
I rather it had been a family member 😢
No idea where to go for this type of thing but I l just lost my 15 year old tuxedo cat overnight very suddenly. He was my first pet and I'm almost 40 now. Having a hard time dealing with it because it happened literally overnight. He had internal bleeding and I had to put him down within 8 hours of him screaming in pain. I was NOT READY for this. I was pretty much emotionally dependent on him and now he's gone and I'm just lost. I like the George Carlin quote by the way.
I lost my sweet dog of 16 years over the weekend. You have to allow yourself to grieve over your cat, there is no time line for how long it will take. The first few days will be the hardest, but try not to focus on the loss when your mind wants to go there, focus on everything you gained by having him in your life for so long. The grief will come in waves, but the joy and unconditional love they brought is worth it. ❤️
@@shaylalane5508 Thank you. The first few days were indeed the hardest, now its coming and going in waves like you said. It seems like you've been through a few times before.Sorry for your recent loss.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my girl on Thursday and I'm really having a bad time. Nobody to talk to. I've been crying every day and feel sick. She was allways with me 24 hours a day. on the bed she slept with me. Everything is here that she used. I seriously don't know what to do I'm hurting so much. I was there when she was put to sleep it was worse thing ever she was so ill. I couldn't Watch her suffer anymore. Im so sorry brambles I would have given my life to save you.
I had to rehome my cat a month ago .Its worse than her dying.
A week ago my little dog got bitten and she died today she's was my best friend I good not safe her and it's a can't but in words how a feel
I am so sorry
Lost my cat today
Their life is a blessing, and memory a gift. I am so so sorry for your loss. I too just lost my beloved Chihuahua and am gutted.
I’m so sorry for your loss 💜how are you doing ? I lost my 14 yo cat Junie in February and my beagle Cupcake In March , she was 13.I still miss them so very much every day😢💔. I can’t think of getting another . They were my heart !!!!

Good evening, our beloved female German Shepherd RINA was put to sleep last Saturday September 11 at 11:55 pm. A killer tumor hemanglosarcoma took her life in less than a day and a half. Her twin sister ZIVA is here with us grieving the loss. Personally it's hard extremely painful. Where I live there's NO support groups to help us deal with the grieving. We would love to learn how to deal with this, it is my first time. She was my real love, ZIVA is one half and RINA was the other half. I kindly request for any help to help us going through this. I beg for help. I woul do anything to learn how to deal with this. Please, help.
I am sorry to hear that. It is always hard to lose a beloved pet, and even harder when it is a sudden loss.
AIHCP is a training organization, not a treatment organization. So we do not take patients. What I recommend is looking for grief counselors in your area. You might not find support groups because pet loss often falls into the category of disenfranchised grief, grief that others do not recognize as grief. However you can still find grief counselors who can help. You can also check our member's directory, link below, and filter by grief counselor or pet loss grief support specialists.

@@AIHCP Thank you, thank you very very much! I live in a foreign country, i was sent here from the US company based in NYC 20 years+ ago. Something on me was telling me to find a pet (I don't know why) just out of the blues. I started to look for pets related websites and I found one offering 2 female German Shepherd's, I just called my fiance and told her, hey I'm going to go get a pet, she ask me why? I said cause I have to. When we got there the people brought down two female German Shepherd pups, they ask me which you're taking? Immediately I said both! Since that day both RINA and ZIVA have been on my life, now that RINA has gone to a better place I'm worried about ZIVA and 4 other dogs we have. The two shepherd's always always were special to me. The sudden departure caught me out of guard. In this country the pet care "industry" is horrible, veterinarians are cold, careless, no living creature deserves soulless treatment! We called many many just to take RINA out for good to stop her misery, pain, sadness etc. NO ONE was available even do we had a prepaid supposedly 24/7 response. We had to call the friend of a friend and so on until someone was available to come over but until next day, due to the pain and suffering I beg to come over immediately, they did so at 11:30 pm Saturday September 11, RINA was euthanized and went to the rainbow at 11:55 pm that day.
Since we have the other 5 doggies I will NOT let anyone suffer like RINA did. My promise to her is to create a non profit organization to make sure nobody has to go through the suffering of our beloved RINA.
Mark my words! I will start on a project to do that! I been working worldwide whit government's, 1st world countries were their people is much much humane. Here, even if they see a human suffering they just walk around.
I have the knowledge, contacts, and some resources to start the project. Everyone I have found none of them offer the so called 24/7. Hypocrisy, values and greed is all they have. No emotions whatsoever! Pure evil greed, profit and nothing out of heart. Once again thank you thank you. Your response means a lot to me. You're the only one that have responded to my comments. The locals ad right now. Nothing, that can give you and idea how bad animals have to deal with.
If you think you can send me a response once in a while I will be more than happy to tell you how the project is coming along.
Best regards from Bogota Colombia South America. A country were corruption is around, yes, 24/7.
Lost my furry baby Barry( 14)
😢we lost our first dog two weeks ago ,Kali , only ten years young English bulldog , she was an angel without wings , fighting cancer in last three months, we have very strong bonds, and she was my soulmate , may be best friend in my whole life , It is a non stop excoriating pain , we miss her alot , even I am not a religious person , I pray , nothing eases my pain , Some times I wish to die to see her soon😢
I never thought she would die like my daughter
My cat was euthanised two days ago and I have been in crippling agony since. I struggle to exist everything seems meaningless now. All I know is pain.
rainbow bridge hmm think thats more a loose term
I really do not like the expression owner. Can anyone own another? No money was given for my last dog but even if it had l would not have considerd her as being owned by me
Funny, i was actually thinking this a day ago when walking my dog. They are family and I am merely their provider and legal guardian!
The Rainbow Bridge is a pagan custom that Christians don't recognize because we have Jesus and our grief is differently handled. You do not sound Christian or you would mention something other than general Spirituality. I have a Christian Pet Loss Group because our comfort comes from our relationship with The Lord.
This video is not meant for just Christians but all pet owners. The idea of the Rainbow bridge is just a symbol of an animal crossing to the next world. Animals while not sentient do have souls, and happiness in Heaven would include those we loved on Earth. Loving an animal and the illustration of finding comfort with them in the next life is far from pagan but human and any relationship with the Lord also includes those we loved. Thoughts to consider
Rainbows are not pagan. You do not speak for Christian belief and you do not speak for God, you speak only for yourself.
My dog (8.5 y.o. Staffordshire Bull Terrier/pitbull) and literal BEST friend in this world, Abby, was euthanized Oct 19, 2022 after battling a compounding list of serious ailments....dual torn CCL's, complete muscle atrophy (back end), paralysis, chronic shoulder injuries, total incontinence (I purchased washable doggy diapers for her), severe chronic dehydration (despite sub-q fluid injections 2-3x daily), kidney failure (from dehydration and long term daily use of prescribed NSAID pain med/Carprofin), sudden blindness in one eye (overnight) and, as if all that wasn't enough, osteasarcoma (bone cancer) in her lower spine. I did all that I could for her from January-October, in effort to heal her naturally, since I couldn't afford $10,000 for surgeries on her knees, which were the injuries that kicked off all other ailments throughout the year. She "tweaked" one knee in 2020 that would give her fits every 2-3 months thereafter and, in January 2022 she jumped too high for a ball that I bounced to her and let out a loud "YELP!" when she hit the ground, which was a very rare expression of pain for her. Both CCL's torn and that would start a very long year of compounding issues, with many ups and downs. Just when I thought her time had run out and I needed to put her to rest, she would perk up and act like herself for 3-4 weeks and restore my optimism for her recovery. Then she'd have a bad week, then perk up again for awhile. This cycle occured several times throughout the year, it was an emotional roller-coaster for me, to say the least.
I didn't work much at all in 2022, because she needed round-the clock care, which was way more important to me, despite the resulting financial difficulties. I carried her 80-lb butt in and out, 7-8 times everyday, which included up and down steps, to go potty and get some fresh air, watch the birds and squirrels, etc. Every single time I took her out, I would have to manually express her bladder and occasionally her bowels as well, since her muscles weren't quite cooperating back there. I had a large stack of bar towels in her kennel to wipe her genitals each time out and I bathed her every single evening to keep her clean. I did laundry each morning to keep her diapers/towels clean and stocked. I administered her medications, as well as injecting sub-q fluids under her skin with a large syringe, 2-3 times per day for her chronic dehydration (even though she still drank plenty of water). I did physical therapy multiple times per day, as well as full body massage with liniment gel on her knees, hips and shoulders for extra pain relief. I tried "red light therapy" on her three times everyday, along with acupressure treatments. She had slept in bed with me EVERY single night since she was a baby, but she fell off my bed a few times (the cause of her chronic shoulder pain) and I didn't have the heart to make her sleep on the floor, away from me, so I piled up all my extra pillows, clothing, couch cushions around my bed and constructed a railing around my bed as well to keep her from falling. I built her a dog wheelchair, which she was never able to use, due to the pain in her shoulders. It was a very long and physically/mentally/emotionally taxing year, for the both of us, to say the least. Eight months later, I feel like I'm STILL recovering from all of that, along with the grief of her loss, though it continues to slowly improve. She had a good couple of months (June-July) where she was zipping around all over the place, barking at the squirrels, talking to me, etc. Then I started noticing a bulge in her lower spine that would make a crackling sound when I picked her up, which wound up being bone cancer. Once her right eye went blind in late September, she became even less coordinated and she became pretty demoralized and depressed, she fought her butt off for me ALL YEAR, but she just ran out of steam and I had to make that final call for her.
In her vet's office, one minute she was happy being doted and loved on and being fed hershey kisses and the next minute the injection was given and she just collapsed in my arms. I've been through A LOT of things in my 45 years, but that's the hardest thing that I've ever gone through, by far. I'm STILL traumatized over the whole experience, to be honest. Looking back at her as I walked out the door, seeing her body laying there and having to leave without her was absolutely excruciating. I felt dead inside, and I still do, I still have a hole in my heart, after 8 months. I'm a 45 y.o. man, divorced and without kids or much of a social circle around me. She was pretty much IT for me and she helped me through some pretty bad bouts of depression over the years, dare I say she may have actually saved me life a time or two. She was my purpose and motivation to keep fighting and not succumb to me inner demons. She was my rock and I took her everywhere with me. My biggest regret to this day isn't that I didn't do enough for her, because I gave her EVERYTHING that I had, I tried everything I could dig up to heal her and it just didn't work. My biggest regret is that I only had enough money to get her put to rest, peacefully, and couldn't afford to get a private cremation and get her ashes back. To this day, I really wish I'd found a way to scrape up that extra $100 and have her remains with me. So, I would recommend to anyone who deals with the loss of their furry best friend and wish to have their ashes with you, but can't afford it......do whatever you have to do to get that extra bit of cash, sell something, donate plasma, whatever. I really do wish I had done that, or brought her body home with me to bury, because even though her remains were merely an empty vessel at that point, I do believe that she wouldn't feel QUITE so far away if I had them.
That.true..see.themagin
I myself had a NDE, and when I saw where we ourselves go, our pets, all of them we have lost during our life time, were all there waiting for me - us on the other side. gave me a very comforting, happy, joyful feeling , believe me they are there.
