How do you get over the grief of losing pet? I lost both my

You don't get over it.
Years later I see things in my periphery and reflexively think it's my cat only to remember she's gone.
But you still had years of good memories where you bettered each others lives. You're not replacing them because that's impossible. The goodbyes are hard but if you could go back would you choose never to have had them? Ask yourself what's stopping you.
You don't fully get over it but you don't forget the good memories you have. Use the grief to appreciate your new pets even more.

i put my 14-year old dog down in august. i had her since she was 3-months old. i got another dog two weeks later. it helped, i guess, but i still think of her and get sad every day.

time is really the only remedy. another pet can take your mind off the ones you lost and give you an outlet for your love, but it's not the same. try to focus on the good memories and not the end of your old pets' lives.

My dog is 8 years old and I still slip up and call her by the name of the dog I had before her.

When my cat died, I tried to be strong and didn't really let it affect me for a good couple months. Then one night I was listening to song which had an upbeat, inspirational tone, but also sad lyrics which could maybe possibly apply to death. I broke down and had myself a good cry right then & there.

But after that I finally understood the famous 5th stage of grief, acceptance. True acceptance is being able to look back on your loved ones and only remember the good times, which will always bring a smile to your face as well.

I've been through this last year and took it REALLY hard, I'll save you the wall of text but get another dog, it definitely will help.
