The death of your pet is so much more than the loss of an animal; it’s loss of acceptance, unconditional love, and a feeling of being fully and truly seen, known, and loved, flaws and all.♥️ #petloss, #grief, #petmemories, #animalfriends, #loveyourpet

The anguish in those last days is so intense that it’s hard to stay present and to cherish the time you have left. Your pet’s final earthly days may not look aesthetically pleasing, they may not be something you can make a video about later and put on social media. Often, the final days are nothing but intense anticipatory grief, desperation, and pain that feels indescribable. Your pain is understood and I know it took great strength to handle all that you did during that time.♥️ #petloss #anticipatorygrief #petlossgrief #petlosssupport

Everybody, I’d like to introduce you to Teddy🧸. He is the gentlest, happiest boy and I’m positive that he was sent from above♥️ #shelterdog #seniordog #seniorrescuedog #souldog

I truly believe that our pets leave little gifts for us in their absence, like the ability to change things that weren’t good for us, things and habits and ways of life that we developed for them. And I know you don’t want that change, that you’d give anything to have them back even if it meant staying at a job that was destroying you or never having a social life for them. Your pet knows that, too - they know you’d do literally anything to have them back, but because that cannot happen, in their absence, they want you to care for yourself and allow yourself to change if it will benefit you. And above all, they are grateful for all the things you did for them.♥️ This is part of Honoring Our Beloved Pets #petloss #grief #petmemories #animalfriends #loveyourpet

Did you have one of these souls in your life? What was there name? And how are you doing since their passing?💚 Navigating the Journey of Grief #griefjourney #mentalwellness #healingprocess #emotionalgrowth #SelfCare

Healing from pet loss includes dealing with the lies that grief and guilt make us believe but you can do EVERYTHING “right”, you can throw allll the money in the world at your pet’s health. You can take them to every specialist, feed them the best food, give them the best life and still they pass unfairly. Pet loss is not something you can outrun and it doesn’t equal failure on your part. You’ve got to stop blaming yourself♥️ #petgrief #HealingJourney #petloss #griefsupport #missingmydog

I gotta know about your angel-pet, please♥️ #petloss

I could make a million of these videos, as each foster and rescue senior changes my life in so many ways, teaching me new things, showing me how resilient they are, and reminding me that great courage and bravery can come in small packages! #rescuedogs #seniordogs #doglove #fosterdog #shelterdog #thingsthatalteredmybrainchemistry #creatorsearchinsights

To: You, the mom of an angel-pet, with love from your baby♥️ Your grief is heard and seen and understood today, especially. No matter what your pet was - cat, dog, reptile, fish, bird, bunny, rodent, etc. You matter and you will ALWAYS hold the title of your pet’s mom. #dogmom #catmom #bunnymom #birdmom #petmom #mothersday #petloss

It’s natural to feel guilt that your life continues on while your pet’s has ended. You don’t need to go out and “live life to the fullest” all at once - it’s ok to stop and grieve, in fact you should stop and grieve - but don’t hold yourself back from living because they’re not here. Your pet got you through those dark days because they want you to keep going, they don’t want your life to end. Go show the world that their purpose was fulfilled.♥️ #petloss #petlossgrief #lossofapet #lifeafterpetloss

You’re not weak, or lazy, or too sensitive. You have given your all to your pet so much so that it’s depleted you a bit. It’s time to slow down, to not expect so much of yourself, to rest when you can and to be a bit kinder to yourself. This exhaustion is not forever but it is for now and needs to be acknowledged in this moment.♥️ #petlossgrief #petlossgriever #petloss #lossofapet #souldog #perfectpet

Grief after pet loss isn’t just about the loss of their physical body, it’s also the loss of an entire period of time in your life, often a transformative time. You’re allowed to mourn the old versions of you, the courageous, incredible versions of you that only your perfect pet saw. Those pieces of you make up who you are and will always be a part of you♥️ #petloss #griefafterpetloss #petgrief #petloss

You’re taking on far too much, sweet friend. Don’t let anyone convince you that your thoughts, or your happiness, or your sadness, or anything in between, caused their passing. You cannot control everything. Not everything is your fault.♥️ #petloss #petlossgrief #petlosssupport #PetsOfTikTok

So many people will experience this feeling of “could I have done more?”, “did I fail them?”, “could I have been a better guardian to them?”, or some variation of this feeling. Don’t let it overwhelm you or pull you in. This is simply a part of many of our grief journeys but it doesn’t mean those thoughts are true. It’s ok to mess up, it’s ok to be human. You made your pet feel so loved; don’t let that get lost in the grief.🩵 #petlossgrief #petlove #PetsOfTikTok #griefandloss

Did you experience this? Can you tell I experienced this lol? I feel like it’s SO hard to live in these days where they’re almost ready to go but not quite ready and every moment feels SO important and you can’t settle at all. It’s so difficult to describe🩵 #petloss #anticipatorygrief #grief #petgrief #petlossgrief #missyou

Just feelin’ my way through, I guess♥️ I Hope I’m Honoring Our Beloved Pets, both of them. #petloss, #grief, #petmemories, #animalfriends, #loveyourpet

Coping with the pain of losing a pet and carrying on with life is so hard. It feels wrong to keep going, to feel joy ever again, to let go of regrets and guilt and “what ifs”. But you’ve never has to prove anything to your pet. No one knows your heart better than them. They know you love them fiercely and always will. They know you wish they were still here. They know you did all that you could and were able to for them. Pet loss is hard. Don’t hang onto the guilt just to punish yourself.♥️ #petloss #PetsOfTikTok #lossofapet #petgrief

Just onnnne single day, I’ll feel gratitude that she isn’t earthside with me and hope that she’s enjoying the show.♥️ #petloss #goldenretriever #souldog #petlossgrief
