Reply to comment by TinFoilHeadphones in Cultivating a sense of perspective about pet loss can lead to post-traumatic growth after their death by chrisdh79

My sister goes through extreme mourning every time a pet dies. Like twice as bad as I am going through a break-up. I don't even want to think about entering another relationship so I never understand why she keeps getting more pets and going through this heartache every few years.

Every few years? What is she doing to her pets?

She always has like five cats and two dogs of different ages, so it's a constant flow of vet bills and tragedy.

I have a hard time understanding too. I lost my dog 8 months ago and it has been the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. I cannot even imagine getting another and going through it again. People continue to ask if I’m getting another one like I can just replace my dog, it’s weird, stop asking people that.
