Gifts for Someone Who Just Lost a Pet and Is Surprised by How Much It Hurts

People who haven't lost a pet sometimes underestimate this grief, which is one of the lonelier parts of it. The person going through it knows what that animal meant to them — the routine that organized the day, the presence in the room, the specific way they were known and loved by something that asked for so little in return. The empty spot on the couch or the floor or wherever that animal always was. These gifts don't fix any of that and they're not trying to. They're the ones that say: I know this matters, I'm not going to tell you it's just a pet, and I got you something for this particular kind of hard.
