In an essay for HuffPost, guest writer Julie Knopp opened up about the four words she wished she’d never been told while grieving the death of her 18-year-old cat, Waffle Cone.

“When my partner told an acquaintance about our loss, the acquaintance replied, ‘It’s just a cat.’ Those four words ― and other dismissive responses to grief ― are common following such tragedies and can complicate the healing process,” wrote Knopp.

“Breakups, miscarriages, deaths of companion animals and other misfortunes can result in something called ‘disenfranchised grief,’ which stems from losses that are not widely considered significant. In these cases, the bereaved may receive little social support and be limited in their ability to fully express their grief.”

“When we let the griever decide what constitutes a loss and how significant that loss is, we can better understand what support should look like. And while everyone grieves differently, most people share in common a need for their loss to be acknowledged.”
