Tell us: how were you affected by grief over a pet?

TL;DR

  • Grief over a pet's death may be a prolonged grief disorder (PGD), similar to losing a human.
  • PGD is a mental health condition characterized by prolonged despair, social issues, and difficulties with daily tasks.
  • Currently, PGD can only be diagnosed for those grieving a human loss.
  • The Guardian is soliciting personal stories from pet owners about their grief experiences.
  • Responses can be submitted anonymously and will be used for a feature article.
