Asking Eric: Because I’m Still Grieving a Pet, I Probably Should Not Have Gotten a New One
- Nearly two years ago, the author had to say goodbye to their 13-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, Shorty, and within a few months welcomed a new pet—a Gold Dust-colored Yorkie called Buddy.
- The author chose Buddy as a coping strategy amid complicated, long-lasting grief but now feels this decision was rushed and a big mistake.
- The author feels guilty, is unsure if they care for Buddy, and struggles to move past memories of Shorty, while Buddy may sense this grief.
- Advice encourages giving Buddy love and care without self-chastisement, affirming that the heart will heal and Shorty remains held under the scar.
- This situation shows that grieving a pet is complex and that adopting another pet might not immediately resolve feelings of guilt or emotional challenges.
