The more you choose to feel your anger, the faster it will begin to dissipate and the faster you will make your way through pet loss grief and onto the road of pet grief recovery.

It is important to realise that Anger often doesn’t make sense so it is important to try and feel it without trying to make real sense of it or judging it.

The truth is sometimes life just sucks, life is unfair, the death of a pet is unfair and Anger is a natural reaction to the unfairness of the loss of a pet.

You may feel that your anger is all consuming and will never end. You may feel that you will never calm down and will be forever furious and full of rage.

But your anger will pass and then you will feel start to feel the underlying emotions underneath your anger such as pain and sadness.

I like to think of Anger as a lifeboat that rescues you from the sea of shock and numbness that you feel like you are drifting in when pet loss grief first hits you.
