If you have ever lost a pet, then you know how difficult it can

be. For many people, the grief can be as intense as that experienced when losing a family member.
As a friend or loved one, it can be hard to know what to say or do to help someone who is experiencing this type of grief–especially if you’re not a pet person. But even if you can’t identify with what it feels like to lose a beloved furry family friend, you can be compassionate and offer your support.
