I can’t write anything right now as I am going to be away for the next month. However the same philosophy holds for grieving any loss – you need to talk about it, get the feelings out, be good to yourself and do what feels good to do. Getting over losses take time but you do learn to live with the loss and go on to a productive life.
Take care

Krystyna, there are so many things we don’t know about the mysterious spirit world, souls, and the Universe….and so I don’t think anyone can say for sure either way!

But I myself believe that spirits do exist, and I believe some people are more sensitive to hearing, feeling, and seeing them than others.

If you feel that your family — and your dear departed dog — is sending their spiritual presence, then hold on to that feeling! Enjoy the comfort, light, and happiness their presence brings.

One cautionary note: be wary about paying money to people who say they can contact your departed family members or pets. There are so many scammers out there, and you don’t want to throw your money away.

Instead, enjoy the presence and spirit when it comes — and don’t worry about what other people say about it. Let your heart and soul be your guide.

Sending you warm fuzzy hugs,
Laurie

Jane, if you have any specific tips on helping a grieving friend get over their pet loss, I’d love to hear them. So many people lose their pets and some never really get over it…and sometimes friends just don’t know what to say. So, if you want to write an article or give tips to help friends deal with their pet loss here in the comments section, I’d appreciate it! If not, no worries.

Krystyna, I’m sure you did the right thing. Sometimes the best thing we can do is let go of our pets…no matter how much it hurts us. Sometimes, it’s better for pets to be in heaven than suffering through illness or painful old age.

Your pain will subside…and your dog will always be in your heart.

Warm wishes,
Laurie

Whatever makes you feel better through this difficult time is the right thing to do. Honouring your pet in this way is a wonderful thing.
I know how difficult it is to lose a pet – hang in there.
