Grieving the Loss of a Pet — 4 Comments

  1. Lee Ann, thank you for such a sweet post. I understand the pain of losing a pet and am so sorry for your loss. They certainly are family members and we grieve them as such. Prayers for you and your family’s healing and comfort. Wise advice for helping children grieve. Blessings!

  2. Thank you for offering wonderful tips on how to help children deal with the loss of a pet. It is something that many people face and it’s a learning experience in life. I do think we need to be careful, however, when it comes to assuming that our pets go to heaven. Animals do not have a soul, so there is nothing that leaves their bodies and ascends to another realm. The Bible talks about animals being in the new heaven and new earth, but we cannot assume those animals will be the pets we had on earth. They might be–but we don’t know for sure.

    • Thank you Crystal! I should have made it clear that this is my personal opinion and there are many who may disagree. Blessings, Lee Ann
