The Power of Family Pets and Divorce
Can you see how important I feel pets are to us when we are going through divorce? I have written about this topic once before, but felt so strongly about it that I wrote another article. This one was just
published in LAFamily.com (and 4 other publications that also publish my weekly articles). I wanted to share it with you here on my blog, hoping to reach many more of you out there all over the world.

I think our pets are a big part of our support system as we move through divorce, and then finally begin to heal and re-build our lives. They are such a blessing to us all. I hope you enjoy my article, and I would love to hear your comments and thoughts about your own pets and what they mean to you. Here's my article, enjoy:
If animals have been a part of your family's life, they will be especially important as you go through divorce.
Your pet will be a great source of support and strength for you and
your children. Pets have a special way of providing unconditional love.
As you go through divorce, your pet will be a stabilizing factor letting
you know that "everything will be okay."
Here are some helpful reminders about the power of pets during divorce
.
Getting your zest back for life:
Your
family pet will "be there" for you as you go through divorce. You will
feel unconditional love and support. It has been shown that your family
pet can help prevent depression, and provide much needed companionship.
Periods of crying, not sleeping, and withdrawing from friends and family
may be alleviated if you have a family pet to care for. You will feel
happier if you have a family pet there to love you and your children
unconditionally.
Pets and your health during divorce:
The
positive power of pets on your mental, emotional and physical health is
real. Studies have shown that having a family pet can lower your blood
pressure, lower anxiety and improve your heart rate. Those who have
family pets tend to have more consistent behavior than families
who do not, because of the genuine unconditional love a pet provides.
Pets have a way of calming us, which helps to decrease stress levels
during divorce.
Your family pet still needs to be cared for:
You
and your children will need to care for your family pet. This is a good
thing as you go through divorce. It will help you focus on something
other than yourself and your circumstance. For example, if you or your
children are feeling sad, you will still need to feed your dog and take
him or her for a daily walk. This sense of stability is helpful for you
and your children during this difficult time.
Children and their pets:
Your
children will receive great comfort from your pet as you go through
divorce. Pets help ease the difficult transition children experience.
The companionship, sympathy, and unconditional love children feel from
their pets will remind them that they are important, special and
lovable. Your family pet will lessen the loneliness your children may
feel, as well as increase their ability to have empathy for others.
The
power of pets will help you make it through the rough waters of
divorce. Your pet is non-judgmental, loving, welcoming, comforting and
accepting of you. These qualities are lifesavers as you go through
divorce. The unconditional love, and companionship your pet provides
will help you and your family survive divorce. Don't forget to add your
family pet to your support system.

"Divorce" may seem an easy way out from unhappy relationship for young married couples but, literally speaking they are simply replacing a set of problem with another especially where minors are involved. For those who are affluent, divorce cost may be paid to rid the relationship but, for ordinary ones it most probably be a devastating stage recovering from which may take them few years.
