Thanks for reading and for your thoughtful comment. I am glad you were able to relate (and now name) complicated grief. There is something so empowering when we can put a name to our feeling. I am so sorry for your loss. A great book on Pet Loss is The Loss of A Pet — Wallace Sife. It helped me understand a lot. I don’t know if it speaks to complicated grief. I am a therapist and know the concept as it applies to grief in general.
