Support for the whole family

Grief needs room, time, and kindness.

Gentle resources before, during, and after loss—for adults, children, and everyone who loved them.

After loss

Pet Loss Support

Losing a pet is losing a companion, a routine, and a piece of your heart. There is no right or wrong way to grieve.

Gentle ways to cope

  • Talk about them and say their name.
  • Create a memory space with photos or a favorite toy.
  • Write a letter to your pet.
  • Rest, eat, breathe, and take one moment at a time.
  • Reach out to someone who understands.

For children

A Gentle Guide for Kids

Children may feel sad, angry, confused, lonely, or okay one minute and upset the next. All of those feelings are normal.

Things that can help

  • Draw a picture of a favorite memory.
  • Write a letter to their pet.
  • Look at photographs and tell stories.
  • Keep something special nearby.
  • Talk with a grown-up they trust.
