To our great regret, the age of our smaller brothers is not long. Most cats do not live to be 15-20 years old. Dogs live around 10-12, and hamsters, guinea pigs and rats live even less. In this sense, parrots stand out. They live longer than other pets. The lifespan of a parrot depends on its size. For example, a cockatoo can live up to 80 years, but a budgerigar - only up to 10-12.
Instructions
Step 1
It is difficult to imagine what a person experiences who have lost their pet. After all, he, as a full member of the family, entered your life, making adjustments to the daily routine, behavior, attitude towards life and towards yourself. By adopting an animal, you take on a huge responsibility, at times suppressing your desires in order to meet its needs. But suddenly he was gone. Inside, there is emptiness and pain of loss, a heavy realization that the beloved and faithful being who loved you with all my heart was not around.
Step 2
Many people feel lonely when they lose their beloved pet. Trying to explain your feelings to people who have never had animals, you can stumble upon a wall of misunderstanding. Don't be surprised if someone advises you to take it easy or get a new animal. It is best to talk to someone who has also recently suffered such a loss. You will immediately find a common language, and it will become easier for you.
Step 3
Try to keep yourself occupied with any activity: work, hobbies, walking, etc. This will take your mind off sad thoughts and have a good time. You may be interested in volunteering at a kennel or animal shelter. Such work does not have to be permanent. It is enough just to come there in your free time.
Step 4
When it's hard for you, feel free to cry. Many try to keep grief to themselves, not to show their emotions to their loved ones. But this only makes them feel worse. When you cry, it becomes easier for you.
Step 5
A great way to improve your mood can be composing a photo album with your pet - you will remember funny and funny moments from different stages of his life. Surely you have accumulated photos or videos where your favorite is. If they are not there, do not be discouraged. It may be easier for you to write everything you remember about him. Make a memoir diary. When you write another story there, you will smile!
