Hello everyone,
Unfortunately the past year and a half, I went through the loss of two of my pets. September of 2024 one of my cats suddenly passed during hospitalization to cure hepatic lipidosis.
Today we had to put our dog to sleep. Two weeks ago we discovered he had late stage lymphoma which was already badly affecting his lungs. He quickly started to struggle with breathing and eventually refused eating and was in a really bad state.
I believe I deal quite well with grief and loss, I have a hard time with the news and the first weeks but I accept the reality and can deal with my pain on a healthy way I think.
I would like to to know more about pet grief and how to deal with conflicting feelings, how to deal with my pain, the pain my family is also struggling with, well… anything grief/loss related feelings, thoughts and struggles.
I find myself very often not thinking so much of my own pain and grief because it hurts me so much to see my siblings and parents cry and suffer. I think of them first, I try to help them deal with their pain a grief, try to talk to them and even though I think I can deal with death, I also believe I might neglect my own grief a little on this whole process.
With this said, I'd like suggestions of non-fiction books about this theme, something more practical and on the psychological side of it. (not too complex either ofc)
Thank you for your attention, take care <3
