Sheridan had a best friend, his dog, Max. Max died, and now Sheridan works to pick up the pieces.
Felipe Blue, LCAS, CSI assists Sheridan with processing his pain and finding strategies to alleviate his pain.
Losing a dog can be just as painful as losing a human loved one. Dogs are often considered part of the family, and their death can be a very difficult time for their owners. Men, in particular, may feel a sense of loss and grief that they may not be comfortable expressing.
Here are some of the things that a man may experience when his dog dies:
Shock and disbelief. It may be hard to believe that the dog is gone. He may feel like he's in a dream or that this is all a bad joke.
Sadness and grief. He may cry, feel down, or have trouble sleeping. He may also have physical symptoms of grief, such as headaches or stomachaches.
Anger. He may feel angry at the dog for dying, or at himself for not being able to save him.
Guilt. He may feel guilty about things he said or did to the dog, or about not spending enough time with him.
Loneliness. He may feel like he's lost his best friend and doesn't have anyone to talk to about his grief.
It's important to allow yourself to feel these emotions and to grieve in your own way. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. If you're struggling to cope with the loss of your dog, there are resources available to help you, such as grief counseling or support groups.
Here are some tips for coping with the loss of a dog:
Allow yourself to grieve. Don't try to bottle up your emotions. Talk to someone you trust about how you're feeling.
Take care of yourself. Make sure you're eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and exercising.
Do things that make you happy. Spend time with loved ones, do activities you enjoy, or go for walks in nature.
Remember the good times. Think about all the happy memories you have with your dog. This can help you feel closer to him even though he's gone.
Losing a dog is a difficult experience, but it's important to remember that you're not alone. There are people who care about you and want to help you through this. With time and support, you will heal from this loss.
