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.

Losing a pet shatters your world - I know because I've been there.

When I lost my soul-kitty, Squiggles, I didn’t just lose my routine, my constant companion, or my greatest source of comfort. I lost a part of myself that had been with me for 20+ years.

As I moved through my grief, I illustrated a book about her and started integrating pet loss support into my work. Unexpectedly, it has become one of the best ways I continue to honor Squiggles. 

Plese know that if you lost a pet, you’re not alone in feeling absolutely devastated. And you don’t have to figure out what comes next — or how to do this — by yourself.
