Lesson Overview

8.02 – Grieving a Pet, a Teacher, or a Role Model: Losing someone who inspired you, even a pet or mentor, can break your sense of comfort and routine. Pets give unconditional love and teachers or role models often help shape your goals and self-belief. When they’re gone, life can feel empty or confusing. You might wonder if your sadness is “too much,” but love is love, and grief honors what mattered. The quiet moments, like expecting to see your pet waiting at the door or hearing your teacher’s voice, can trigger deep emotions. Allow yourself to cry, laugh, or remember in your own way. Make a space to honor them—a photo, a letter, or a story shared aloud. Healing comes from gratitude as much as sadness. Every bond teaches something about connection, and those lessons stay inside you. Missing them doesn’t mean weakness; it means they made an impact worth remembering.
