In what stage of grief do people hold on to pets or objects that was their loved one who died?
Thanks
"hold on to" -- as in literally holding on to them before they are buried or cremated???

oops sorry holding onto something that was that person's who died, like a dog. Also would blaming people be under anger?
Thanks for the sites?
what type of grief is keeping an item that reminds you of the dead person?
The stage of grief you are referring to is often associated with the concept of "Bargaining." Bargaining is the third stage of grief according to the Kübler-Ross model, which is a widely accepted framework for understanding grief and loss.
During this stage, individuals often try to negotiate or make deals in an attempt to reverse or change the outcome of the loss. This can manifest in different ways, such as holding on to pets or objects that belonged to the deceased loved one as a way of maintaining a connection or finding solace in their absence.
If you know someone who is going through the grieving process and holding on to pets or objects, it's important to approach them with empathy and understanding. Remember that everyone's grieving journey is unique, and finding comfort in pets or cherished possessions can be a way for individuals to cope with their loss.
If you are seeking further information or support on the topic of grief or the different stages, I recommend consulting with a mental health professional or grief counselor. They can provide personalized guidance and support during difficult times of loss.
