Man has always had a certain affinity to domesticated animals. They treat them as companions, even as their kin. They even give their last name to make sure that the family knows that they have another member with them. Which is why, people have seen the use of stone pet urns as something that is necessary to show how much it was and is important to them.
You cannot just shrug off grief like it is some fly that just landed on your shoulders. As an owner, you may have had your animal companion for years. You probably do not even remember a time that you did not have one in the house. It may even be older than most, or all, of your kids.
Here are some ways to effectively move on after a loss of a loved one. It is not that simple to just move on. But, no matter what happens life, as we know it, must go on.
You are not to blame. Never ever think that you are responsible for the death of your animal companion. It usually starts with denial. And when you face the reality of the loss, you may feel guilt. The gnawing feeling that you may have failed to do something should never be entertained. Accept the fact that it is inevitable. Death is life's partner.
You should talk to your kids about it. Do not pretend that all is good with your kids. Tell them what happened, what was done and why it happened. Never tell your kids that it left for no reason. Otherwise, the child may feel that they did something wrong. Explain that it is nobody's fault and that it happens. Death happens even if you do not like it.
Gather your family and talk about it. Make sure that everyone in the family is on the same page. Make sure that there is no confusion as to what just happened. Express the emotions you all feel. The memories may have been good and bad but it is best that you all acknowledge that you all did your best. This is a good way to provide the emotional support needed.
You could get a new pet. Some owners resort to getting a new animal companion. It may be the same breed but remember that this is not a replacement to cover up any grief and just forget about the one you just lost. Think of it as having a new family member that would receive the extra affection you can give.
As your animal companion's owner, you could pick out one of the tips or you could do them all together. Remember that death is part of life. But you can always keep your animal companion close by placing their ashes in stone pet urns. You get to preserve the memories you have with your pet. And even after death, you are still showing them that they are very much loved and remembered.
