Say their name. 🤍
Ask about them. Bring up a memory. Tell their person about something that reminded you of them.
Sometimes people avoid mentioning a pet who has died because they’re afraid of making their person sad.
But here’s what I want you to know: many grieving people still want to talk about them.
They want to tell you about their funny little habits. The things they love. The things that made them who they were.
They want to hear that you remember them, too.
You aren’t reminding someone that their pet died. They already know. They live with that absence every day.
Sometimes, hearing their name is a reminder that their life mattered beyond the person who loved them most.
So don’t be afraid to ask.
And if you’re grieving, I’d love to hear their name in the comments. 🤍
