Yes. Even if the pet is deceased, people need closure.
We once lived in a gulch in the Rockies that had a lot of cougars. A LOT. Our Norwegian Forest Cat went missing one Saturday, and our other cat, more astute than he was, took over his indoor territory the same day.
We knew he was gone. Yet, my now-ex went through an entire winter of torment, once sending me up the hill to investigate a group of magpies who, it turns out, were only raiding the neighbor's overturned garbage can
She found a piece of him in the garden the next spring. Only one foreleg, but enough for positive ID. It was rough, very rough. But finally, we had closure.
Folks, closure is important. Finally, she was able to move on with her life.
Love, whether for another person, for God, or for a companion animal endures! Many non-animal lovers just don't understand this, but I suspect that the majority of my readers DO since that is what I write about. Thank you, Ken, for sharing your own experience with us.
