You’re Not Weird for Grieving Your Pet

No, you're not “too sensitive.”
You're not “being dramatic.”
You're not “doing the most” because it was “just a dog” or “only a cat.”

You're grieving love.
Real, daily, unconditional, deeply felt love.

The kind that waited at the door.
Sensed your sadness.
Never judged your tears.
Was just… there.

Grief doesn’t care about species.
It shows up where connection lived.

So if you're still crying months later, if you still check the floor before getting out of bed, if your home feels unnaturally quiet—
you’re not broken.

You're simply human.
And your grief makes perfect sense here.

🕯️ The Gentle Goodbye was created to help you walk through these sacred, silent losses with faith and compassion.
