Why is that some people when pets die they act normal and for people like me who are close to the ca

Today we buried Liberty and I was in tears and still am crying. My parent's are acting like nothing has happened at all.

hello!?, we just lost a beloved member of our family(even they have 4 legs instead of two). I'm still in shock and in a "time warp" . It usually happens to me when I lost a loved family member or beloved family animal memberof our family. Liberty was with us for 4 years. She was born in this house and died outside her birthplace. I still cry when I look at Scruffy's and Liberty's pictures. After all they were a father and she was his daughter. I even cry going outside where I saw her for the last time alive .

I know it's gonna be tough for while. but hopefully Precious and I will learn to move on together I hope. After all Precious knew Liberty for about 6 months and I suspect that they became good friends/pals.sleepmates etc..

Why is easier for some people to move on regarding pet's death's and harder for those who they were closer to move

I'm so sorry for your loss, but know that there are many people, including me, who are no different than you are.

I was always a wreck when it was time to say good-bye to my beloved dogs and it was no different than losing a child. Before someone jumps down my throat tells me that there is a difference, I would like to add that I did lose a child several years ago, so know what it's like to lose both, and one doesn't hurt any less or any more than the other. It's still a huge loss as my dogs were part of my family, too.
