Question by Kalyn: What can I do to take my mind off of a family members death?
My great grandmother passed away about a week ago of cancer. After seeing her in pain, sick, slowly forgetting how to talk and then at rest in her coffin I have been trying to stay strong about it though it’s not easy to see I know I have to move on and enjoy life while I have it. I miss her and will always love her. It’s really all I can think about and i just need some ideas that would make me feel better or something to take my mind off of it for at least a little while. Any ideas?

It is very normal to feel this way. Your own body is in shock because truly, our soul never dies. Intuitively we know there is more. You will see her again, but meanwhile it is normal to grieve.

Question by moovet1992: Why don’t people understand that you can grieve for a pet just as much as for a person?
This morning I euthanized my 19 1/2 year old cat Allie. I had to take the rest of the day off because I am losing it. I’m a vet. I work in a vet clinic. There are even some people that work there that do not understand the level of grief I feel. Many of my family members won’t understand. The first one of them that says “get over it, it was just a cat” is going down. Allie and I had been through a lot together. For 19 1/2 years he was my friend AND my child. I got him when my mom was dying and he helped me through that and other difficult times. I have grieved before, and I know the pain will become less but never completely go away. Wouldn’t it be nice if other people could understand that one can grieve just as much for a pet as a person, or even more. Why do people think it’s appropriate to say “oh, just get another cat” when they would never say to someone “oh, just have another child” if their human child died?

Well there are actually lots of different counselors. You didn’t say which type you’re interested in becoming, but I’ll find some information to help you..

Therapist — “Therapist” is another name for “counselor.” Therapists are people who use counseling to treat mental, emotional and nervous illnesses. Counseling is also called “psychotherapy.” Therapists can be psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers or other professional counselors trained in mental health.
