The loss of a pet may be as difficult to face as is the loss of a human family member. Many people feel a deep spiritual connection with their furry, scaly, or winged companions. We all grieve in our own way, but please remember, grief is a normal process, and you are not alone. For this reason, we have included some excellent resources to help you grieve and then move forward with your journey, just as your pet would have wanted you to do. These include support groups, hotlines, and books.​
