Grieving and Depression
It is very natural to feel depressed and in pain after losing a beloved pet. Feelings of sadness after such a death are much like a wounded animal’s instinct to withdraw, find a safe spot and lick their wounds. Such emotions can be an indicator that your usual notions of faith and reality have been shattered. This can lead to deep questions about the meaning of different aspects of your life, and also of impending death. These feelings of sadness can also be an indicator that you need to slow down, take some “me” time and allow yourself to heal. You need to put yourself in touch with your feelings, and find a way when it is time, to move on with life.
While feelings of sadness after death of a loved one, whether 2-legged or 4-legged, are very real and normal, actual clinical depression is not. If your feelings of depression and helplessness continue for a long periond of time and you are not able to return to normal activities, you need to seek help. You should consider visiting with a trained therapist, or with your clergy person. There is nothing wrong with seeking and accepting help to overcome such grief. It is very common and can help y0u to heal faster.
