Acknowledging the Grief
The pain of losing your gundog is like losing a piece of your heart. The emotions you’re going through are completely natural and deserve time and space to heal. Recognising the stages of grief can help you better understand what you’re feeling and why. It’s a tough journey, but understanding your emotions is the first step towards healing.
Finding Community Support
In times of grief, community can be a balm for the soul. When you’ve lost your gundog, talking about it with people who understand your specific loss can be comforting. It’s a space where your feelings are validated, and you can find emotional support. Sharing your story and hearing others can often bring a sense of comfort and lessen the burden of your loss.

Also, never hesitate to seek professional help when the weight of grief becomes too much to bear alone.
