What we see on the surface is only a fractional part of what is really going on inside of us 🦋 #petlossgrief #healingsolutionsforpetloss #griefandloss

Grief mirrors love. In its depth... In its vastness... In its foreverness... We often grieve as we loved. Fiercely & open-heartedly ~ @empoweredthroughgrief.com 🦋 #petlossgrief #healingsolutionsforpetloss #griefandloss

You've survived 100% of your worst days so far. Keep going 🦋 #petlossgrief #healingsolutionsforpetloss #griefandloss

I rarely have a pet tell me their human ended their life too soon. It's far more common to hear that their humans waited too long to help them leave their body ~ Karen A. Anderson 🦋 #petlossgrief #healingsolutionsforpetloss #griefandloss

It takes strength to make your way through grief, to grab hold of life and let it pull you forward ~ Patti Davis 🦋 #petlossgrief #healingsolutionsforpetloss #griefandloss

There is an expression - "never let the sun go down on your anger" - which means deal with it when it is present. (Pray about it, talk to someone who won't judge you, and journal about it) Don't go to sleep and not deal with it. It will only come back stronger tomorrow 🦋

In order to heal, there is a journey that each of us needs to take, in order to get back into living life. Those who handle grief in the healthiest manner are those that can admit: "this hurts, I don't like it, but I keep moving through it, so I can find love and life again 🦋

You heal a little bit every time you share your story. Sharing is a crucial step in being able to move through your grief. Make sure it's to the right people. Find your people, those who have lost a pet as well. Share your story, hear others' stories - this is how you heal 🦋

It's your road, and your alone, others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you ~ Rumi 🦋 #petlossgrief #healingsolutionsforpetloss #griefandloss

When you choose to forgive those who hurt you, you take away their power. Forgiveness is the gift you give yourself, not the person you are forgiving 🦋 #petlossgrief #healingsolutionsforpetloss #griefandloss

What you are experiencing is normal. It's all part of the grief process. You must go through it in order to heal it. But you can and will make it through, just keep moving 🦋 #petlossgrief #healingsolutionsforpetloss #griefandloss

I miss having you around, but in my heart, you're always found ~ Zach Bryan 🦋

A thousand moments that I had just taken for granted - mostly because I had assumed that there would be a thousand more ~ Morgan Matson 🦋 #petlossgrief #healingsolutionsforpetloss #griefandloss

There is no grief like the grief that does not speak ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 🦋 #petlossgrief #healingsolutionsforpetloss #griefandloss

Every day that I hurt my grief teaches me important lessons. I deserve to be treated gently and to be given time to mourn. This is how I will recover. I deserve to recover, and I know in time my heart will hurt less and I will feel love again 🦋 #petlossgrief

It's alright if you thought you were ok, but it comes back to haunt you. It's alright to crumble even if you thought you had everything under control. All is not lost. Healing is messy. And remember there is no timetable for recovery 🦋 #petloss #petlosssupport

You don't have to experience grief, but you can only avoid it by avoiding love. Love and grief are inextricably intertwined ~ David Kessler 🦋 #petlossgrief #healingsolutionsforpetloss #griefandloss

The very worst part of grief is that you can't control it. The best we can do is try to let ourselves feel it when it comes and let it go when we can 🦋 #petlossgrief #healingsolutionsforpetloss #griefandloss

I wish I could see where you've gone. For the time being, imagining is the next best thing ~ 🦋 #petlossgrief #healingsolutionsforpetloss #griefandloss
