Coping with the death of a pet - One year later

My dog just passed away 2 days ago. I’ve been crying randomly during the day just thinking of him. It’s killing me inside. I saw him crying into sleep. Just seeing those tears when I saw him pass away killed me. I showered him with millions of kisses as he laid there

That pain of losing a pet never goes away, that pain stays with you always. RIP Nikita

I hear you brother, the loss of my best friend Napoleon will never go away. 15 years of love...

Had to put our 13 year old Golden down four days ago and am just devastated. Strange how much we love and miss our pets, they are really more like our children and as such the loss is beyond the understanding of those who have never had that kind of loving relationship with a soul who only knew how to love without reservation.

I lost my little boy Jan 9. It was an honor to know such a loving being and he brought me so much joy and enriched my life immeasurably. I’ve been coping by focusing on gratitude but have had to deal with not being able to get his ashes from an insensitive and possibly scam cremation company in Ozone Park NY. Sending positivity to everyone going through the experience of loss.

I appreciate your words. I recently lost my older brother 5 weeks ago. He was 31 and unfortunately was involved in a fatal car accident. Life feels so fake now. I am having a difficult time coping with this loss. Your video however.... has helped me in have an idea of how to go about it all. Thank you. RIP Nikita.

just lost our 13 year old Dachshund today, he declined so fast in a few days, stopped eating, couldn't move much at all and he was in the hallway and passed away what looked to be peacefully but i know he was fighting hard to stay alive and it hurts so much not being able to see him anymore and his daily routines , but know he is at peace now god bless

Thank you so much for your video, Jeremy. I lost my best friend, Bambino, yesterday and I’m finding it so so hard, my house is so empty now. He had such a large presence in our lives. I took your advice and have just written a long letter to him. You’re right, it helps. Thank you, you have made me feel like I’m not alone and it’s so comforting to find people who understand.

Thank you for sharing. I lost my beautiful Libby Mae on September 17th at 4am. I cry everyday. she was/is my buddy, my pal, my partner. I talk to her all the time. I can truly feel her spirit around me. I feel so lost and hollow inside. It helps so much knowing that I'm not the only one with deep sadness from losing their pet. If only...

Loss my buddy 3 weeks ago. Even though 3 weeks have passed, it feels like it happened yesterday. Before his transition, I didn't realize how fulfilled I felt with him present until he was no longer present. I'd look at people struggling during the Pandemic with loneliness, not really getting it. I get it now. Its not just the loss of their presence in your life, its the loss of the community you become apart of as a result of them being in your life. For example: My dog got me out of the house. I socialized with other dog owners, because of him. I got out in nature because of him. Anyone reading this.... each day gets a lil better, but this video will help you cope. There are some good recommendations inside. Thank you for sharing

Just lost my best friend/pupkid tonight. I am soo heartbroken! Thank you for being soo transparent.

I lost my little man, my baby, a part of me when my little Chichuahua crossed to the spirit world a few days ago. My heart is broken and my body aches to see and feel him, it's all so painful 💔😭

I lost my beautiful chihuahua Henry in November, I miss him so much, sometimes it's unbearable but I'm so thankful for the wonderful times we spent together. Thank you for sharing this ❤️🐶

I just lost my pet chihuahua Shortie a week ago. I'm having a hard time coping with life in general. This is my first time losing a dog and I wonder how does one get over it??? Ur video has helped me some but I'm still hurting. Help Me JESUS because this is a hard one for me.

Thanks very much for your sincere and heartfelt video. It’s been about 6 weeks since I put down my dog. It’s crazy how the grief comes in waves. I have always heard that about grief but this is my first time experiencing the waves. I have days or strings of days where I’m feeling alright and then for whatever reason, days when her absence is felt so strongly. To anyone dealing with the loss of a pet: I know that some moments, it feels like you cannot possibly survive the pain or ensure it any longer. I feel it too. But it’s just a feeling and it will subside. You will smile again at memories of your pet. It just takes time.

Oh man do I know your pain. I lost my 8 year old dachshund Buckee to renal failure back in September 2018. I've never had a physical pain inside of me like I did after losing him, even losing human family members. I felt a total disconnect from life and i shut out family and friends for a short time after losing him. The only thing that made the pain go away was alcohol, and drank a lot. I'm doing much better now, but I still feel the pain.

I lost my beagle Chance about 2 weeks ago. He was 14 years old too. Died in his sleep right on the couch in his favorite spot. It hurts soo bad, I miss him soo much 🥺😢😢😢

Thank you for making this video, Jeremy. We had to put our black lab down in October of last year. Everything you said here, I feel all the time.

Jeremy, I lost my 11 year old female cat, Amity, last Tuesday (Cancer of lungs)--also very unexpectedly. Of all the youtube videos I've been watching, yours is by far the most poignant and heartfelt. I can identify with you where all the others were deficient. I thank you very much, and hope you keep continuing on in a life which, for me, often has no meaning if such things like these must happen.

Thank you for your beautiful video. It really comforts me that you share your heartfelt tribute with all of us. I lost my best friend, my Mini Schnauzer, after an aggressive battle with cancer less than two weeks ago. He was only 6 years old. I feel we both weren't ready. As I listen to your honest and warm video, I am crying and am trying to move some of his toys and blankets away... It's so hard. But I feel less lonely with it, when I listen to you. Thank you 🧡
