Opinion: ‘Until we meet again, brave little cat.’ The heartbreak and taboo of burying our pets | CNN

I think its a great idea ! I mean, pets are part of the family, right? And its not like we're just going to forget about them when they pass away . It makes sense that were starting to treat their burial with more respect now. I know some people who have already lost their pets and still find it hard to talk about . But this new pet cemetery in Barcelona is a step in the right direction! Maybe its not for everyone, but its nice to have options . And I love that they're including cremation too - it feels like we're getting closer to having more flexibility when it comes to saying goodbye .

I remember my grandma used to get really emotional when her old cat passed away... she kept a big box of ashes in the backyard with a little stone that said "beloved kitty" . Nowadays, it's cool that Barcelona is setting up a pet cemetery where people can say goodbye to their furry friends properly. I mean, we used to just throw 'em in a field or whatever... but now we're recognizing how much they mean to us. It's like, our pets are part of the family too! And it's good that charities are offering support for people who are struggling to cope with losing their pets... my friend lost her dog last year and she was totally devastated . This pet cemetery thing is a big step forward in acknowledging how much love and grief we have for our animal companions .

I think its about time we give pets the respect they deserve after we lose them . It's crazy that it was once seen as just a disposable pet , but now we're realizing how much joy and love they bring to our lives . I've lost pets in the past, and it still feels like an open wound . Having a public pet cemetery would be such a comfort for us, a way to say goodbye with dignity . And its not just about humans, animals can form strong bonds too , we should acknowledge that .
