A viewer is having a hard time coping with losing their dog. He felt like his dog was more like family than “just a pet.” On “Life Quakes,” hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest Dr. Jude Black offers advice on how how to cope with the sadness.
Feel your feelings
Don’t bottle up your sadness or feel like you need to “get over it” quickly. Allow yourself to grieve.
Reach out for support
Talk to friends, family, or even join a pet loss support group. Don’t isolate yourself in your grief.
Honor your pet’s memory
A memorial, planting a tree, or preserving their paw prints can help you remember the joy they brought to your life.
