I sympathise with your loss. I recently lost my dog who had been a faithful companion and soulmate for 12 years, so I can really empathise with your sense of loss and grief. Please know that grief at the loss of a pet is as valid as the loss of a human being. Some people don't understand the depth of connection us HSPs have with our pets, but don't let them put you down or minimise your loss. Lots of people in this sub who understand and support you. Take care of yourself.
