@gabbybernsteinofficial: Have you ever wondered why losing a pet can hurt even more than losing a person? It's not "just" grief. The bond we share with our animals is often one of the purest relationships we'll ever experience. They love us without conditions, without expectations, and without asking us to be anyone other than ourselves. Sometimes what we're grieving isn't only the loss of our pet. We're grieving the version of ourselves we became in their presence—the part of us that felt completely loved, completely safe, and completely connected. If you've ever lost a dog, cat, or beloved animal companion and wondered why the pain felt so overwhelming, this conversation may help you understand your grief in a new way. #petloss #grief #petgrief

This doesn’t resonate with me. I miss the unconditional love I received from my dog. It doesn’t have to do with who I was

Girl, I’m missing my dog. The physical presence of my sweet pug; the way she’d snuggle, the way she’d let us kiss her face off, and the way she smelled. And she loved us unconditionally. So yeah, I miss HER, not how she made me feel about myself.

I am not missing myself. I am missing my actual Cat.

Nope. I'm grieving because I've never felt love like I did from my Dex. I don't even like myself. I grieve for the love I don't have anymore. I grieve for the other half of my soul that's no longer here.

I strongly disagree. It wasn’t about me, I love her and miss HER.

I spend more time with my dogs than any human being. I wont miss who I was with them, I will miss THEM. Don't speak for all of us.

I disagree, I think it is because they are in our every movement, memory, everyday, in all our routines so when they are gone all of our routines and daily lives change without our dog.

That’s because animals love you better than humans. They love you no matter what

Nope…. I miss HIM! His smell, his purr, his nose, his startle, his cowardice, his snuggles.

Because it’s a legitimate source of love without a single judgment.

I couldn’t disagree more. Saying we’re not grieving our pets, but instead grieving who we were when they were alive, feels incredibly dismissive.
To me, that’s making their loss about us instead of acknowledging who they were.
I miss them—their personality, the joy they brought to our family, their unconditional love, their little routines, and the space they filled in our lives. They weren’t just a chapter of my life; they were a life that mattered. That’s who I’m grieving.

I know who I am with or without my beautiful pups. When they go, I will be grieving for them, not for who I was with them. This is a terrible take.

Loving a pet is such a tragically beautiful experience. We know they only have a short time with us and yet we give our love so freely and become attached to them knowing we are gonna see them go before us. I’m so thankful for my pets and what they teach me and I only hope I can love on any pet until I die. ❤️❤️
