Ways to support someone who’s just lost their pet?

[Anonymous]

My partners 16 year old cat was euthanised yesterday at the vets. He had stomach cancer that was only noticed 2 months ago, so too late to treat. I’ve tried my best to comfort my partner and be there for him the last 24 hours, but I feel like I’m not doing enough to help. Is there anything (within reason) that I should be doing, or is just being there for him and being a shoulder to cry on enough?

I would say if there is anything you can do for him let you know. I'm sorry for his lost of his Cat. My cousin, lost her Cat about 3 years ago, and she was age 22 years old at the time.

Wow, 22 years old is crazy.

@petitedollbabee They always say Cats have 9 lives so who knows?

Just be around him or close by if he needs you. If he does just be a listener and embrace him.

Its hard bc its a pet. Been there done that. Just listen i guess. But they've got to move on.
