Pet loss hurts but people still want me to work

I wish people knew how I felt; it is like I can't cry for my baby I lost and people want me to be normal and act like I am fine

When you experience a loss ( pet or human), there is a universal process you'll go through. 1. Denial : accepting the reality of the loss. 2. Anger : towards God, yourself, or others. 3. Bargaining : you may imagine reaching an agreement to avoid the loss. 4. Depression : experiencing complex emotions including emotional detachment. 6. Acceptance : coming to terms with the reality of the loss.


Now, as far as other people saying "be normal," you should share this truth with them and reassure them that you are, in fact being normal


I hope this helps.
