How to Cope With the Loss of a Pet
Keeping an animal (like dog, cat or any bird) and looking after it is a nice and rewarding experience, but when you lose one of your lovely pets, it gets you down and you feel all shattered.
Since you spend so much time together with your pets, it is natural that you develop a link with them and miss their presence when you lose them. Coping with the death of your pet can take time and effort. If you have lost a pet that lived with you for years, it is hard to get over it in a few days, it may take you weeks to recover and live a normal life.

1
Do not expect others to understand your pain
When you lose your pet, you literally fall apart, but another problem that confronts you is that you feel like no one truly listens to you and shares your grief. People, who were not as close to your pet as you were, are never going to understand your pain and you will have a hard time letting them know how you feel.
What is really important is that you understand your pain and do not affect or influence others. -
2
Talk to those who love pets
The best way to get over pet loss is that share your grief with those who love pets, not someone who is allergic to them as they will probably play down your feelings . Find someone in your family or friends who have gone through the same situation before, because they are the ones who know how it feels after the death of a pet and how to get out of the depressed feeling. -
3
Try to get a new pet as quick as possible
After your pet dies, you feel lonely and the world around you feel shallow. So, the next best thing you can do is get a new pet as quick as possible. It does not have to be the same breed or animal, and you can even get multiple pets in order to take the grief off your mind. -

Get busy
Keep in mind that you are going to feel pain and grief after the death of your pet, but that does not mean that you cannot cope with the depressed feeling. The key to avoiding the bad feelings is to get your mind busy. Once your mind starts accepting the newly acquired pets, you will gradually forget the pain.
