💔for all who are grieving the loss of a pet this year.
✨ Navigating your first Christmas without your beloved pet ✨
The upcoming holidays can be a difficult, often bittersweet time when you are missing your beloved pet. Here are some tips to help you navigate this tough time:
❤️ Share their memory
Talk about your pet and your favourite moments together at upcoming gatherings. It’s okay to laugh, cry, and reminisce.
🎄Create a Tribute
Hang an ornament with their photo, light a candle in their honour, or set up a small memorial in your home.
🤗 Lean on Support
Surround yourself with understanding friends and family that acknowledge your grief.
🍓 Focus on self-care
Allow yourself to feel all the emotions and do things that fill your cup. Don’t put pressure on yourself to feel “festive” if you’re not there yet.
🐶 🐱 Give love to other pets
If you or other family and friends have pets, give them some attention - animals are the best form of therapy. They actually release hormones that can help reduce feelings of sadness and depression.
✨ Grief and joy can co-exist. It’s okay to celebrate the season while cherishing your pet’s memory. 🧡
