When the Time Comes… You Are Not Alone

Grieving the Loss of a Pet

Losing a pet can be an overwhelming experience, and it’s completely natural to go through the stages of grief. You may feel sadness, anger, guilt, or even emptiness. Studies have shown that, in some cases, people grieve their pets even more deeply than they do for human relatives—after all, our pets are with us every day, offering companionship, comfort, and unconditional love.

Our advice? Allow yourself to feel everything. Cry, laugh, reminisce, and honor your pet in a way that feels right for you. Don’t go through it alone—lean on family, friends, and support groups to help navigate this difficult time.

Support & Resources for Pet Loss

If you need guidance or support, there are many resources available to help you through the grieving process. Some local Humane Societies offer pet loss support groups where you can connect with others who understand your pain. You may also find comfort in online communities dedicated to pet loss and grief support.

Here are a few trusted resources:

If you come across additional helpful resources, we’d love for you to share them with us—we never know what might bring comfort to someone else in need.

You are not alone in this. Take your time, honor your pet, and know that healing will come in its own way.
