Pet loss support

When you lose a pet, you lose a piece of yourself.

There is nothing wrong with getting support when saying goodbye to your very best friend.

If you’ve found yourself here, you’ve lost a pet who meant everything to you. I’m so deeply sorry.

Losing a soulmate pet shatters your world. The routines you built together, the comfort they brought on good days and bad, the unconditional love — suddenly gone. And it’s hard to know who you are, or what the point is, without them by your side.

Even the smallest moments feel excruciating. Waking up without their stinky breath in your face. Sitting on the couch without them gazing lovingly at you. Trying to fall asleep without them snuggled up against you.

You’re not alone in feeling this way. And you don’t have to figure out what comes next — or how to do this — by yourself.
