Celebrity Pets

Just because they may be rich and famous doesn’t mean that they don’t suffer from terrible grief when they lose their pet.

Because I’m always trying to learn more about how people cope with the loss of a beloved pet I keep an eye out for articles on pet bereavement. I regularly post about how someone copes with pet grief, whether that is Kim Ben Fogle or Oprah Winfrey. We all form incredibly strong bonds with the pets in our lives and when we have to say goodbye it can be incredibly tough. I try to find ways that pet bereavement affects us and how different people find strategies to cope.
