초록

이 연구는 반려동물 상실에 대한 심리적 이해를 기초로 기독교 신자들의반려동물 상실에 목회상담자가 어떻게 접근해야 할 것인지에 대해 논의하려는 것이다. 근래, 반려동물 입양 가정에서는 그것이 이른바‘가족화’되어 반려동물의 상실은 가족의 죽음에 버금가는 충격으로 나타난다. 반려동물 입양 기독교 신자들은 반려동물 상실로 가족의 안정성이 깨지고, 우울을 비롯하여 다양한 심리정서적 문제들을 야기하며, 가족구성원의 죽음에 비견되는비애/비통이 발생한다. 반려동물 상실을 경험한 신자들의 정서는 단지 심리정서적인 문제로만 볼 수는 없으며 영적 생활에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 목회상담자는 신자들로부터“반려동물을 위해 기도해 달라”는 요청을 받거나“반려동물도 천국갈 수 있나요?”라는 질문을 받게 된다. 이럴 때 답변은 하나님이 창조주로서 전능하신 분이고, 사랑이 많으신 분이라는 것을 우리가 확신한다면, 동물구원에 대한 문제를 하나님의 주권과 영역으로 남겨두고, 그것을 희망하는 정도가 건전한 태도라 할 수 있다. 목회상담자는 반려동물 상실가족을 위로, 지지하기 위해, ‘자조 지지집단’을 형성하거나 연결되어 있어야 한다. 반려동물 상실감에 성령의 위로와 지지를 얻을 수 있도록 목회상담자가 재구성하는 것은 중요한 지지기반이라 할 수 있다.

Abstract

This article is to clarify pastoral counseling through psychological understanding on the grief of the loss of companion animal. Recently, companion animal becomes a part of family. So, the English word familization came into a psychological neologism. The grief of the loss of companion animal becomes as much as the grief caused by the death of a family member. Psychological traits of grief family include sadness, mental depression, and various emotional problems. When the pastoral counselor is asked by church members if their companion animal could go to Kingdom of Heaven, pastoral counselors may be lead by confusion. The reason for this is that there is no clear verse in the Bible. God the Creator made not only human but also animals. God is also the almighty God with love; thus, leaving the issue on animal salvation to God’s sovereignty is the sound attitude and evangelical aspect. The pastoral counselor should empathize the grief family from the loss of companion animal. In addition, it is encouraged that pastoral counselors make or support church members to join the self-help support group so that the grief from the loss of companion animal can be filled with the Holy spirit. Pastoral counselors are encouraged to help the grief families learn about human life and death through the loss of companion animals.
