Día de los Mu***os is about honoring the ones who made our lives fuller and for a lot of us, that includes a pet who was as much a part of our family as anyone.

The love and grief is the same. And the way we carry them forward in memory is the same too.

Today we’re thinking of every beloved companion who made their way to the other side, and the families who still miss them. And we are also sharing a couple of tips for this holiday to keep your current pets safe.

We are sharing a few tips we have learned over the years that might help you comfort your friend or loved one after they’ve lost a pet. Here is one of our favorites: ⁠
⁠
Take the Time to Call. ⁠
⁠
Pick up the phone regularly, and call your grieving friend to see how they are doing. Place a call within a couple days to let your friend know you are always free to talk, and then follow-up to see if they need help with anything.⁠

Some people feel that recovery from pet loss should be easier, and shorter, than grieving the loss of a human being. We at Faithful Friends Pet Funeral & Cremation Services know that grief and mourning have their own timetable. Your friend may still be in grief months after the loss. Being conscious of their unique timetable, and mindful of the support they'll need throughout this time can make all the difference – to both of you.

As they come to a more stable place emotionally, your friend or family member may feel the desire to tentatively step back into life. Helping them to do that means extending a hand, and helping them out.

Involve them in your activities. Invite your friends to social occasions so they have the opportunity to meet new friends and get their minds off their loss.

Plan new activities together. That way, both of you have something to look forward to, even if it's just a short walk in their neighborhood or a movie date.

Always remember holidays and anniversaries. These are the days of the year that are the hardest times for people suffering from grief. So, plan and invite them to your home or make a visit to their home to wish them a happy holiday. Let them know that they have many friends and family members ready to help them through these difficult days.

One thing people wonder is, "What do I say to someone grieving their pet?" To that question, we say, "Just listen." Listen to them tell stories about their beloved pet. Ask them to share their fav memories. Don't rush them to reframe or think positively. They just lost a friend. We wish you the best as you comfort your loved one who is grieving.
