Why Pets Are Attached To Their Owners

A friend once lost one of her pets and was so distraught she mourned it for weeks. Some people do not understand the attachment she had to the poor puppy. While majority of people cannot understand why a human being should love his or her pets more than even human beings, pet lovers, on the other hand, find it difficult to believe they are misunderstood. Today we are going to look at the issue from a different perspective. Animals have souls just like human beings. But the souls of Animals are rather fluid, and not individualistic as that of the human soul. In the same way, even trees and rocks have their own souls, but their souls are rather forces of the elements that inhabit the trees and as their houses. There are stories of trees that refuse to fall and which even bulldozers cannot pull down; or if it was pulled down, it stands again. Such stories are not only found in superstitious Africa but also in the Scandinavian countries, where some of the natives still have connections with the forces of the elements. Even Rocks have their own beings that inhabit them, just as flower elves inhabit flowers, where the flower is far away from human habitation and may not be disturbed by humans. But Animal souls are different from these, since they are imbued with independent movement. All elephants, for example, have souls which after death flows back to the common pool like a river, only to incarnate again by a small part of the pool flowing into the animal at the middle of pregnancy. Thus, in principle, no animal is meant to be a reincarnation of another, except in special circumstances. These special circumstances can be of two types. The first is by applying the strongest force on earth, the power of Love. When a man loves his pet, the love radiation can hold the pet's soul together, making it individualistic and therefore, if the pet passes on, the soul is not allowed to flow back to the group soul. Under this condition, the animal can reincarnate, and can still seek out the former owner if he is intuitively alert to recognize it.

Pet Loss Grief

Most of us have endured the pain of losing a beloved pet at some point in life and depending upon the type of relationship we had with our pet it will undoubtably measure how much pain we suffer after the loss. Some people develop a profound bond over time with their pet, while others may just enjoy having them around and usually recover from grief rather quickly. They may even replace their deceased pet right away to help them cope and move on from the grieving process more quickly. Everyone has their own unique way of coping with pet loss. The loss of a special animal companion can leave devastating heartache and most people will suffer in silence out of fear of not being taken seriously just because the loss was not a human loss. There are many people today in situations where their pets mean everything to them just like any human being could. Many have been let down by those around them therefore turning to an animal for unconditional love and company and as a confidante. This is quite normal as animals have qualities our fellow humans do not seem to indicate. Companion animals have now become an accepted part of our family and when a pet passes away we feel that as such. I lost my pet lizard just one year ago, and the pain I felt was so immense I didn't want to go on anymore. I felt the best thing I could do for myself and on behalf of my deceased pet was to write about pet grief loss and become a "Pet Loss Counsellor," in which I have only started studying at an online college. The bond I had with my pet lizard was very profound indeed. Our pets or as I prefer to call them "family members" teach us so much about ourselves if we are open to allowing them to educate us. Even after they pass into spirit the lessons themselves are more vivid and real. Heartbreaking grief over the loss of a pet is not something to hide or be ashamed of. Pets are our family and we grieve for them in that way. There are groups you can join on social media such as Facebook. This gives grieving pet carer's a chance to express their grief in a safe and non judgemental social environment
