Dotty,

Yes, it's definitely possible for a pig to mourn the loss of a friend.  The
severity, in my opinion, entirely depends on the personality of the pig.
Some pigs stop eating and drinking and experience severe weight loss.  They
can become very depressed. If you have a pig that is living alone, I highly
suggest thinking about finding a new friend.  They are much happier when
they have someone to talk to and interact with.

Hope this helped,
Maren, Rosie, and Charlie
