I got ya. I’ve seen pets do that too. I try to keep in mind though that humans sometimes perceive the actions of animals to serve our best interests in the name of companionship and love.
You’re right. And we do the same thing with Muslims. Rush once did a brilliant monologue about this phenomenon.
That “stages of grief” thing is asinine.
Seriously...what if someone dies of a heart attack or in a car accident? Pretty much negates the denial stage since the next stop is the funeral home.
Who are you bargaining with, at that point?
Or are you going to insinuate that we instantly go through the first three stages when faced with a sudden loss? That negates your silly point that animals do not do the same thing.
The stages of grief are talking points for hospice...and total psychobabble.
