Loss of a Pet

Some people live with their pets for many years. They become family members and often become like children as each have their own personality. Sometimes those who are not pet owners do not understand the trauma that can be associated with the death of a pet. The grief can be intensified by being unsupported in their loss by many well meaning people.

God is concerned about all of our losses and what matters to us. He sees every tear and collects them in His bottle. I can imagine God shaking up that bottle and pouring it over us in His time, and out of it flows peace, comfort and joy.

“You number my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle; are they not in Your book?”

Psalm 56:8 NKJV

“…Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”

Psalm 30:5 NKJV
