when pets die and guilt.

My friend recently lost her dog. Today I lost my goldfish, it would be natural to think that it was a bigger loss to lose the dog - but I'm crying my eyes out as well!  And everyone tells me to relax, that's its just a goldfish, but I actually felt a connection with the fish, oddly as it sounds. Even stranger, I dreamt that it died this night, but it felt more of an 'alarm' disturbing the real dream.

It had been in a muddy bowl for a while, I kept postponing the cleaning of the bowl. And today, the very day I bring the bowl to clean it by the sink - it lays there dead :( I feel its all my fault. The fish is free now, but I feel so bad for 'killing it slowly'. I should have cleaned the bowl weeks ago. I can't get over the guilt, and I realise its just a goldfish.

I just wonder if any of you had lost a pet that made an impact on your life, how do you cope- and how does one cope with guilt?
