I am so sorry for your pain. I have lost a pet in my life (several years ago when I was about 15) and I know that can be a very hard experience- I am sure I will loose more pets if God permits me time on this Earth.

I really wish I knew how to help you be a comfort and encouragement to your mother. Before writing this I prayed and asked God to provide you and your family comfort, as I am so unable to do that myself. The best advice I'd offer is to be a supportive and respective child, maybe offer to do something special for her (like make a meal) or help with things around the house if she doesn't feel like due to grief.

This website- Gotquestions has a good (brief) article on the subject and I concur with what it teaches. I do not believe the Bible says pets will be in Heaven (they did not have many pets back when the Bible was written). However, God promises a "new creation" and it would be reasonable to assume that will include animals- maybe not our exact pets. People have much more value and worth than an animal. I know its difficult- but remember that your pet's life is a very small thing compared to worth of people and being able to be with them in new creation.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help. I hope I have pointed you in the right direction. I'll leave the quoting Bible verses to Gotquestions which is better prepared than I am to answer these sorts of questions (I am good at answering some questions, just not all of them!)

Welcome to Bible Wiki. I hope we can encourage you in your faith.
