[quote=Anonymous]You know, when some people die, it's not always a shock, it may be expected because they are very elderly, or very sick. Even outside of those instances, you had a particular relationship with a person who died, and you may have loved them, but they weren't with you every day and you weren't codependent like a pet is. An animal is a creature who relies on you every minute for everything, you are it's whole world. It's a lot of psychological real estate, especially when you are also the one who, more often than not, has to kill it. That comes with trauma and guilt, regardless of how necessary it is. And they are not here for long. You are never in that position with an elderly parent. You may love them, but psychologically there's been a physical and emotional separation, and you are never responsible for how they die. [/quote]
