반려동물 상실과 애도 과정에서의 죄책감 이해하기

### 슬픔을 헤쳐나가기: 반려동물을 잃은 후의 죄책감 이해하기
* 🐾 많은 반려동물 주인은 동물이 죽으면 **죄책감을 느끼며, 어려운 결정을 내리기 전에 더 많은 조치를 취하거나 더 오래 기다릴 수 있지 않았을까 하는 의문**을 갖습니다.
* 💔 이러한 죄책감은 **사랑하는 반려동물이 고통받았을 것이라는 두려움**이나 **반려동물의 죽음으로 이어진 상황에 대한 후회감**에서 비롯될 수 있습니다.
* 😢 반려동물은 지속적인 동반자이자 무조건적인 사랑**을 주는 경우**가 많기 때문에 사람 친척보다 반려동물을 더 그리워하는 경우가 많습니다.
* 💖 반려동물과 나누는 유대감은 다른 가족 구성원보다 더 깊을 수 있으므로 **반려동물에 대한 애도가 더 강렬**해지는 것은 당연합니다.
* 🌈 반려동물에게 사랑과 보살핌을 제공하고 당시의 최선의 지식을 바탕으로 결정을 내렸다면 **죄책감을 느낄 이유가 없습니다.**
* 🐶 반려동물은 자신이 사랑받고 있다는 것을 알고 있으며, **반려인이 세상을 떠난 후에도 그 연결은 유지**됩니다.
* 🧠 해결되지 않은 슬픔은 **과식이나 과음과 같은 부정적인 대처 메커니즘**으로 이어질 수 있으므로 이 어려운 시기에는 스스로에게 친절하게 대하는 것이 중요합니다.
* 🌟 여러분의 행동이 사랑에서 비롯된 것이라면 **반려동물과 함께한 추억 속에서 평화를 찾을 수 있다**는 사실을 기억하세요.

줄리는 반려동물 주인이 자신의 선택에 대해 죄책감을 느끼지 말아야 한다고 강조합니다.

Hi everyone, it's Julie. Just a quick post, a quick video about what we were chatting about earlier on the feed. Why is it we feel so guilty when our animals die? Perhaps it's because we ended up having them put down and could we have done more? Could you

have waited longer? Perhaps you waited too long and you worried that perhaps your lovely pet was in pain and you kept him because you wanted him to be alive. Perhaps you feel guilty because somehow your animal got out and there is a terrible accident and you know what if

this what if, that what if you could have done something differently? I've even had clients that say they feel guilty because they miss their animals or their pets more than their near relative, perhaps a grandparent or an aunt or uncle. And when I speak to them and I ask them

how often did you see that relative? And they say, 'Oh well, you know, maybe once a month, something like that.' But their animals, their pets, they were there with them every day, all day, perhaps sleeping on the bed, all sorts of times, good times, bad times. They relate to

having that pet with them, and perhaps they didn't have that experience with the relatives. So it's natural that you're going to miss your pet more, and it's nothing to feel guilty about. If your pet was surrounded by love and you believe you did the best you could

at the time, in the circumstances that were happening then and there, you have nothing to be guilty about. Your pet would have known how much you loved them. They would have known. I've even had clients that say well, they feel guilty because when they took them to the vets for the last time

The pet looked up at them and trusted them, and they went in with the vet to the vet's, knowing that their pet wasn't going to come out with them again. And they felt like they deceived their animal, but then on the other hand, I've had

people that felt guilty because they didn't go in with their animal and left them at the last moments all on their own. Again, you do what you think is best at the time. As long as you did it out of love, you have absolutely no reason to feel guilty.

Unresolved grief can lead to terrible things in your own life. It can lead to stuffing down your feelings with food or washing them down with wine, or insomnia, or snapping and getting angry at people, just like any other kind of grief. Be kind to yourself. As long as you did

what you did out of love, you have nothing to feel guilty about. Remember that, and I'll see you on the next video. Bye.

Has The Death Of Your Pet Made You Feel Guilty?
