Pet Loss Grief Resources

Our pets are part of the family, and losing any family member can be devastating. The loss of a pet changes our daily lives. It can be a difficult adjustment, and it’s okay to not be okay right now. For some, grief may lead them to seek counseling, choose to memorialize their pet in some manner or even open their home to an animal in need. There are support groups, resources and counselors available to help you through this difficult time. We have gathered some digital and print resources below to hopefully help you along your journey from grief to healing. We understand that you are heart-broken, but you are not alone! *
