How to deal with separation from a pet?

The worst thing ever. It's like you lose one of your loved ones. The pain so excrutiating you want to die too. And you have to grief too afterward.

I've already been through that several times and this is more painful the more you were emotionnaly attached to your pet.
 
Or maybe OP is being paid to flaunt his signature x times a day?
There’s no maybe. That’s the truth. I don’t blame the op for wanting to get the most out of his premium membership but posting ‘quora’ questions and hoping nobody will notice is not the way to go about it.

He might not get a warning since he’s technically not breaking any rules but I’ll be damned if he doesn’t get called out.
 
What was your pet? a dog, cat, python, etc. You will miss him if you and your pets have plenty of memories together
 
I am yet to have first pet.
You definitely need to have a pet to be separated from them. No way around it.

To answer your original question, depends on how attached you are to the pet. Some people don't bat an eyelid. They just go on and bring home a new pet as if they just replaced furniture.

Others sink into the doldrums and find it impossible to get out for a bit. I lost my pet two years ago. He was 13 and in a lot of pain in his sunset years. There's a reason they say that pugs shouldn't be bred anymore. Couldn't breathe normally. Lost his eyesight. Ears were filled with polyps. We had to catheterize him twice a day to empty his bladder.

Yet, when he passed away (euthanized) because of a drug-resistant bacterial infection, I couldn't come to terms with it for days. Felt guilty for putting him to sleep, although it was best for him and the caregivers. Would wake up in the middle of the night feeling that he's barking. Would come back home soon thinking that maybe he's alone and waiting. It was tough as nails. That healed with time though. Life moves on.

I recently adopted a dog who was abandoned on the street. After a month of care and healing, he's become boisterous. This one's a handful and keeps me on my toes all day. A lot of happiness, laughter and fun is due before the inevitable. So, don't let the fear of separation stop you from getting home a pet.

The last line you mentioned is the reason why I do not have pet. I do not like pets much also but even then from what I heard from others, that separation can be very hard for me to live with. Let's see if I gather more courage for this in future.
