Pet Sympathy Cards

Pet owners who have, unfortunately, suffered the loss of a beloved pet are often astounded by the amount of grief that such loss can induce. It is true that it can be hard to realize how much something means in your life until it is gone, and the loss of a companion animal is a perfect example of that. Suddenly a friend that was at our side at all times is gone, and the void that is left in their absence is certainly greatly felt. One of the worst parts of this type of ordeal is that many often do not realize how greatly such a loss can affect the surviving family of the pet. Those who are grieving for a pet are often confronted with statements such as 'it was just an animal, you can get another one', which can even make them feel as if the grief should be downplayed. Friends and family may have the best intentions at heart, not even realizing that such statements are not only not accurate, but can also be hurtful, as it could cause the individual who is grieving to feel as if they don't have the right to mourn for the pet. In reality, the pet that is lost was a constant part of the individuals life, and one that brought great comfort and joy at that, so the loss of the pet should certainly be mourned.
