The thought that our cherished pets are passing on is something that pet parents dread, but it's vital to remember that our pets don't feel the same way. While they will undoubtedly sense any feelings of dread we may have, they don't fear the act of dying itself.

For them, dying is as natural as living; it "just happens." Therefore, it is our responsibility to provide our pets with the solace and certainty they require for their own peace of mind.

By giving them a cozy area to rest, we try to make them as comfortable as we can. Even though it could seem as though your adventure has ended once you have said your goodbyes and attended to your pet's final needs, it doesn't mean you'll forget about them.

Pet parents are encouraged to take time to grief their loss as some people discard their own sadness because they believe it to be "silly" to be mourning the loss of a pet but that's not true. The OP in today's story is someone who was on the verge of losing his dog. 

The poor dog had "cancer, is blind, deaf and essentially, a walking corpse." The OP reached out to his friend just so he could have someone to console him but his friend ended up turning it into a debate.

This was someone he was always there for when his girlfriend died. Keep scrolling to read the full story below.

He shouldn't have said such things to the OP

A huge drop

He obviously doesn't care about you

He used you as an unpaid therapist

What is wrong with the OP's friend?

He needs a shoulder to cry on

There's nothing wrong with making it clear

Maybe the OP's friend is holding him back

This Redditor thinks the OP is being too nice about this situation

You will remember this when he needs to talk

Friends do not treat people like this

You don't deserve a trash friend like that

Just find something you like to do

He's only calling you when he needs a friend

It was all about him from the very start

You should not have apologized

This Redditor thought ashes were thrown

He should have respected that but he kept at it

You did not say anything offensive

It might be worth looking into clubs or local activities

When a beloved dog dies, it's important to give yourself space to grieve, and don't be afraid to reach out to people who can help you cope with it. This is what the OP did, only for the friend to be mean to him.

However, we consider our pets to be significant family members, and their loss is grieved just like a human loss. So be kind to yourself and you'll pull through.
