I would have never agreed that "getting another pet" would help, but this is what happened to me. I lost my sweet Carmel kitty on July 31, 2023. I had him for 12 years (he was 14)
On November 8, 2023, My SON, Tyler, age 29, suddenly and unexpectedly passed away and 3 days later, on November 11, 2023 my other cat, Mocha who was litter mate to Carmel and so very sweet, ALSO passed away. There are really NO WORDS for this kind of grief.
My son and his family were homeless, living with family and his two cats had been living in a garage for 6 months. They were fed, but that was no life for them. My son had hated that they had to be in there.
I have adopted those cats now and given them a beautiful life. The pain of losing Carmel, Mocha, and Tyler is very heavy right now, but having Toby and Cali to love and care for now, definitely gives me purpose and a little bit of happiness.

Guilt is the price you pay for euthanasia. In your head, You know you are have done your best for them but in your heart it's hard to let them go.

Let go of my pug less than a week ago. I'm so devestated that life and everything in it feels like an illusion right now. I miss her so much. I'm broken beyond words.

My Sheltie was cremated on his 8 th birthday, cancer, 2 days after6am I heard his bark clear as a bell & my cat (his buddy) came running around the corner of the room she was looking for him … she heard his bark as well, I got the sense letting us know he was there & he’s okay , it still hurts but I have a better handle on it.
So sorry for all the folks grieving their loved pets.❤❤❤

I have experienced the loss of a pet many times over the 25 years or more, and the grief and guilt that accompanies that experience. It never gets easy, but you learn how to better cope with it with rational analysis over time. Guilt is irrational if you did all you could to save them. Some people don't like what I'm about to say next: Guilt is irrational and egotistical because you are assuming that you have power over life and death. You don't. Everything living will die eventually. As a human, there is only so much you can do. With the death of my first cat, I grieved for years and felt guilty for not being able to save him. My fragile ego was so sure that my money and my willpower would ultimately save him. Once I was able to look at the series of events that led to his death unemotionally, I realized the folly of believing I was more powerful than I actually am. It's very important to forgive yourself for being human with limited powers.

My dog just died yesterday, only 8 years old, He has been with me through joy and sadness, ups and downs, and the dog loves you unconditionally. Then all of a sudden died due to coughing and vomiting blood just for one day. The feeling is unbelievably painful, I don't want to eat and can't sleep, I always cry when I remember him😭.... I will just go through the process and express it. (I will apply the 5 secrets and release the guilt because I did not bring him immediately to the veterinary.)

I feel a hard time moving on because I miss him a lot.🧡

I had to euthanize my precious baby girl Saint Bernard at 4 years old from hip dysplasia 4 weeks ago and am still slain because of it! I've been binging these pet grief podcasts and kept hearing that writing about it helps to heal. I wrote her story starting with the thinking process of how we got her as a puppy till me holding her while she took her last breath! I also am writing a collage of things I don't want to forget about her. Little things she did, funny things etc. This is ongoing because all of a sudden I'll remember something and I'll go write it down. I also got several memorial things from Wanderprints with her picture in them. I'm also going to make a photo album of her life. I hope this helps someone because I know I was/am desperate for some relief from the pain of it all!

I'll share my experience in the hopes it will help someone out there. Three days ago, I had to euthanize my 14-year old mini-Schnauzer, Annie. I'm 75 years old, and in my life I have had one cat and one dog that I allowed to die naturally, and one cat and six dogs I euthanized. I can confirm there is no way to dodge the big guilt question: did I act too soon? But what helped me work through that question was my two pets who died naturally. There is NOTHING GOOD about a natural death. Natural death is mostly horrible. As difficult as it is to make the decision, a euthanized death is quick and painless. It frees your beloved pet's spirit from the prison of a pain-racked body that no longer serves them. All that being said, when I euthanized Annie I completely fell apart in the Vet's Office. Part of the reason was that Annie was originally my mother's dog, and losing Annie was like losing the last tie to my mother. But, it was okay that I fell apart. As a 75 year old male, I'm quite comfortable with being devastated and crying. It's all part of being human and having a heart. I say: embrace the grief, don't fight it. A final thought: a question I ask myself before making the decision to euthanize is -- if I were in a similar health situation as my pet, would I want to suffer for a few more weeks, or would I prefer euthanasia myself? I only hope that what I have done for my pets some kind soul will do for me if I'm ever in a catastrophic health situation and unable to make the decision mysrlf.

On Monday night, my dog died suddenly in my arms. There was no warning, at all. I don’t understand how he can be dead when I still love him so much.

[karenlenk]

I lost both my cats a few days ago. I can barely function.

[LettyFlo]

I just lost my pet Chihuahua over one month ago to cancer and I had no choice but to put him down. I did have some guilt in me but you are right, our pets do not hold any grudges. Also support is very helpful to get you over the grieving. What keeps me strong is to know that I was a good mom and my pet loved me dearly. Thanks for your video. It continued to help me move on.

Thanks for sharing! I lost my beloved dog Precious on 8/25/2023. I've been crying so much. I talk about her all the time. Thank goodness I've taken the time to take pictures/videos of her for our memory. I may need to do like art therapy or volunteer to move forward. She will always be in my life..I look forward seeing her again.

I lost my seven month old cat yesterday, he was hit by a car. I have experienced pet deaths before but this one is hitting me particularly hard. He was like my little brother and the sudden manner in which he died, coupled with how young he was, has made this incredibly difficult. I am 24 and live with my mum, and although we have older female cats still we both feel this unfillable void. Love and miss you so much, Otis ❤

I lost my sweetest beagle Bella today because of cancer, she was almost 10 years old. She was at the animal hospital and they said there was a chance she would bleed out if she left the hospital due to the cancer in her abdomen, so had to put her to sleep at the animal hospital rather than risk taking her home.

It feels so surreal, just 3 days ago she was at home and going on a walk. Just happy I got to say goodbye and hold her in my arms while she passed.

My best friend of 14 years just passed away 4 days ago and I haven't been able to function due to guilt, I feel like I failed my boy, I hope he can forgive me.

[jsdavila]

Thank you. 🙏🏾 I’m searching for relief but my heart is so broken. This video is definitely helpful

[MILITIA]

I just lost my best friend Bonita (cat)
I believe that if I hadn’t had her cremated and put in a pretty wood box that I can carry around the house with me or put under the covers to keep her warm the past week would have been so much harder. Thank You for sharing the secrets.😢

[Kimkim_thecat]
