So instead of just the one loss, you are processing a “multiple loss” of the current loss plus whatever else you have lost in the past. If you do not consciously process that grief, it can remain dormant until the next loss, and over time, you build up a big pile of losses as time goes on, and sometimes a loss is so strong that you are forced to grieve not only that loss, but others as well. There are many losses that we grieve, whether we are aware of it or not.

The sharp and painful edges, however, will dull with a deliberate, mindful practice of mourning, and the joy in the connection will return. Your dog will always be there, as will your love. Mourning and processing your grief will allow you to change the relationship with the tangible dog of fur and drool to a relationship with a dog within your own heart and mind. The good news is that you do not have to ever ‘get over’ the loss of your dog you do not have to forget your dog. Because of the special relationship we have with our dogs, grief of a beloved dog can often be more intense than the death of a family member, and coming to terms with the change will take as long as it takes. Your grief will probably not be gone in a few weeks or even months. It is, after all, ‘just a dog.’ You may even tell yourself that and try to avoid working through your grief by keeping busy or attempt to ‘get rid of it’ as soon as possible. This grief is completely normal, and may be misunderstood by the people around you. You may be surprised to have so much grief from the loss of your dog, or to be experiencing grief before your dog is even gone.

This article will help you understand some of the common feelings, behaviors, and thoughts that may come with the loss of your dog. Some of the things that you might do or think while grieving may make you think you are going crazy. Every experience of grief is unique, so you can’t really be prepared for the loss of your dog. If you were lucky enough to share your life with a dog, especially a ‘ soulmate dog’ who has passed or is nearing the end of life, then you also have the flip-side of such a strong relationship: grief. To love a dog is to truly know the meaning of unconditional love.
