Grief is the feeling of sadness that happens after the experience of loss. It could be loss of a person (e.g. a parent or child), a pet, or even a situation (your home or workplace).
Definition of Grief
There is a huge difference between sending a pet to a shelter and losing a pet due to an accident or illness.
Regardless of the reason behind the loss of a pet, grieving is natural and a part of the healing process.
It may not be easy, but it is possible to move through the grieving process and learn to heal as you honor your pet’s memory.
Grief is a normal reaction to loss and it is a process that is never the same for two people. It is a process of healing and moving on with your life. It often arises due to unresolved issues from the past or other losses.

According to the Kübler-Ross model, denial and isolation are two of the most common symptoms of grief.
People who are grieving often go through this stage of grief. Denial is a way of coping with grief that involves rejecting or refusing to accept the reality of an event.
Denial may be a conscious decision, though a person may also deny aspects of the reality of a death without being aware of it. People often choose denial as a way to cope with intense grief.
The desire for social isolation comes from the fact that you’re feeling this tremendous emotional intensity about the loss and that can feel vulnerable.
Isolating yourself can be a way to try and keep yourself safe.
However, this stage of grief can also create a feeling disconnection from others where connection (even if you’re not speaking but are just physically present) can be a balm for the wound of loss.
