I recently lost a very precious family member and I am having a tough time coping. Is there a Lemmy-equivalent community for Pet Loss? I’ve done a fair amount of searching but haven’t found anything active or similar. Apologies if this has been asked for the hundredth time.
I’ve only lost one pet so far, and it was a family pet. I plan on having pets of my own in the future. Do you find that it gets easier? I didn’t see our family pet regularly but it was still sad as heck when it happened.
It gets easier but it takes time for it to happen. One of mine, I couldn’t think of him without tears for a full year. I still miss him, but now when I think of him I’m happy that I knew him.
