Is it normal to cry a long time after losing a pet?

  • You are using the pets to release your hormonal feelings especially if you're crying over one you didn't even know.

    However, I can still cry over my favourite dog that died more than 15 years ago. He was only 8 years old :o(

    • No, I never cried over any I never met. The one that was in the family before I was born was with me until I was almost 13. I've seen pictures of her trying to nurse me too..lol she had a few litters and knew I was a baby. But I grew up with animals & never had a time without pets in my life.

      • I think it's perfectly normal to cry and the saddest thing is that they don't really live too long. There is never a good time for them to die. I have a rescue dog now and she is 9yo - which is a bit of a worry to me. I swore I wouldn't let another dog get to me but she's such a wee angel.

        One thing I have learned is not to leave it too long before you replace them. It does help you to get over a loss.
