Because the loss is often minimized by others, people end up suffering in isolation, continually reliving the absence during daily routines years after the pet is gone.
- 11Why does my toddler only want me when I'm around?Toddlers frequently latch onto one parent and entirely reject the other, refusing even basic help like snacks or napkins whenever that preferred parent is in the room. This constant rejection leaves the chosen parent feeling exhausted and unrewarded, a difficulty often amplified by pregnancy or trying to balance the needs of multiple children.

Without being able to stay close, owners are left torn between getting their dog groomed and risking a deeply stressful experience for their pet.
