Recent research indicates there are five different themes people can experience while grieving the loss of a pet.
Stewart’s family had Dipper, a three-legged pitbull rescue, for more than 12 years. He went to work with Stewart, and the loss was hard to accept.Many people with pets can relate. In recent years, scientists have also been trying to better understand the grief people experience when they lose a pet. Researchers are learning that pet grief is complex and often profound.of Americans have a pet, and 97 percent consider them a member of the family.
Overall, the researchers found a similar use of language when describing human and pet loss and concluded that pet grief should be taken seriously, especially in clinical practice.For Rachel M.P. Caddiell, her Shih Tzu, Mocha Latte, had been in her life since she was eight. Caddiell showed her off at 4-H events when she was young and later trained her as a therapy dog who visited nursing homes.
Mocha passed away at age 16 when Caddiell was in her doctoral program. The loss prompted Caddiell to think about the grief response. Her research found there is an array of emotions tied to pet loss.Caddiell and her research partners examined 48 studies that addressed how people coped after losing a companion animal. They identified five major themes within the literature.The first theme related to owner response. People who felt close to their animals had a greater grief response.
Caddiell says the literature identified ambiguous pet loss as greatly upsetting, but it’s also an understudied topic that needs to be studied further because it can have a long-term, distressing impact on grieving humans.The fifth theme identified coping mechanisms. For some people, grief was about isolation and internalizing their despair. Others were able to engage in social support.
