As part of its UGrieve college bereavement support initiative, The Parmenter Foundation continues to seek varying perspectives on grief in college. These insights inform Parmenter's work to improve support for college students who have experienced the loss of a loved one and to build more compassionate campuses. In this recent video, we hear from a college chaplain regarding how grief can be exacerbated by the inherently competitive nature of a university environment.

    My mother and I mourned the death of my father and I agree that the first year is the hardest. You go through the first birthday, the first anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc without a loved for the first time, the pain comes back to you. On the first anniversary of my fathers death, I spent the night before and the night of his death with her. I am 55 and it was important for me to be there for her on that day. I am lucky to work at a private catholic girls high school and the support they provided and the prayers they extended helped both my mother and I tremendously. I canceled field hockey practice for those 2 days to visit my dad's burial site at a Veterans Memorial Cemetery and when we got there, my field hockey team had left a bouquet of flowers shaped like a field hockey stick at his grave in honor of him going to so many games through the years. I was so overwhelmed by the support. My heart goes out to each person in this video for their loss and I pray that you have found the peace you are looking for.

    I was recently feeding a homeless cat for almost 3 years. He was not friendly but I considered it was because of negative past experiences. He had health issues that seemed to persist so I gave him many natural remedies a warm bed and regular meals and clean water since I knew I could not get him to a vet. He became weaker over time and allowed my husband and I to clean him up and take him to the vet. He even purred. He had very serious terminal illnesses and even though he was given fluids with vitamins the doctor offered to let him stay overnight which we did. He passed the next day and it is so hard to get over it even though I know he is pain free and at peace. Time heals all wounds. This is never easy I have been through it many times. He will never be forgotten.

    After losing a beloved animal friend, I have found great comfort in adopting soon after. Their love and companionship had been a source of inflowing joy for me. When they pass on I am left with a huge empty pool . Adopting another who is searching for love and belonging renews that inflow of joy. In this way I feel I can honour and show gratitude for the blessing of the love that I have been gifted with. Together, my new family member and I can be a living testimony to the preciousness of this bond of love. I would encourage anyone facing this loss to consider this option of honouring your loved one.

      I agree, when I had more than 1 dog and one died , the others missed that one so went and adopted another a few weeks later, when my last dog died in 2018 I wasn't having anymore, I got to 3 weeks and then started looking for a new dog,2 months later my new adopted 7.5 year old Husky moved in, she is my 12th dog. far too quiet in the house and going for long walks [we walk over 8 miles per day] without a dog is weird, plus we meet and talk our other dog walking friends. You new dog will be nothing like your previous one so it's not being replaced, it's the start of a new journey with a new friend

    We put down our senior Papillon a couple of months back. Reddy had stopped eating almost entirely and had gone from 10.6 lbs. to 8.4 lbs. It was a hard decision but I didn’t want him starving to death. I had dry and wet food, allergy meds and flea and tick meds left from him. We took all of it to the rescue where we’d gotten our previous dog, Pandora, a GSD mix. They happily took our donations. I still have his coats which I’ll wash and donate.

    I lost my fur daughter yesterday. She was a 13-year-old Shih tzu. I thought she would be with me for at least 15 years, after seeing my friend's dog of the same breed died at 15. So, when she turned 13 this year, I didn't think it would be her last birthday. In 2017, I moved to another city alone and entrusted her to my parents' care. I came home once in two weeks. I really thought that she would stay long, so when I came back to my city for good on Christmas 2019, I would finally get to spend more time with her. But then in 2020, I started having other issues in my life. For the last 3 years I felt that I wasn't a good pawrent for her because I paid more attention to my life's problems than I did to her. Sure I would take her to her favorite salon sometimes, I would take her to my car and she would get excited to see things from the window (her favorite thing to do when she was on my car), I would give her snacks but it was not as often as I did before I started having problems. For the last 3 years, I had been focusing on other things than her. When she was by my side, I was busy playing video games and watching anime without even looking at her just because I was trying to entertain myself (because I got tired of my problems), not noticing that the only thing I should have done was came to her, hugged her and made myself happy with her. But no, Instead, I chose video games and movies over her. Sometimes I hugged her and sometimes I pat her head but it wasn't as often as I used to before. A week before she passed away, I finally realized my mistake. She grew weaker due to her old age and fleas that I didn't take care of completely because I had no money. The vet suggested that we do some blood test lab on her to find the right way to treat her once we knew the root cause of her illness, but it was so expensive and I didn't have money to cover for that, so I chose to give her medications at home followed by the vet's instructions. But it only last for a day. On her last night, she was struggling to breathe and I did everything I could to save her and took her to a 24-hour vet clinic. The vet told me to let her stay there because she needed more oxygen. The vet also told me that she was not that sick, but she was old and her breath was too deep. And when I left her there for the night, she passed away in the morning and I was not by her side when that happened. Now after her passing, I'm not only consumed by grief but also by this huge guilt and regret. I regret not paying attention to her every day. I regret moving to another city for almost 3 years and having less time to meet her during those years. I regret not saving money for her. I regret not spending money for her. I regret neglecting her most of the time. I regret ignoring her when she slept by my side. I regret not playing with her more. I regret not realizing her presence in my room when I was busy entertaining myself with games and movies. Now that she's gone, I'm a disaster and all those games I play and movies I watch are meaningless and less entertaining for me. My favorite food doesn't taste the same and I am in so much pain. That's because I know, deep down inside, I love her so much even when I was drown in my own problems, I knew my fur daughter was all I needed. The pain of losing her and the pain of the guilt and regrets are unbearable. I wish I could meet her again and did the right thing. But it was too late and i miss her already. 😭
