Pet Loss Support & Pet Memorials
“When we lose a pet so dear, a friend who brought us joy and cheer,
To speak of them, to share the pain, is how we keep their love’s refrain,
So let the tears and stories flow, in sharing, we let healing grow.
And in kind hearts that understand, we find the strength to gently stand.”

Email Support Can Be Therapeutic
Sharing your thoughts and feelings in the written form helps you process your grief, and can be a healthy and often healing way to process your grief and find comfort and support during a challenging time. Here are several reasons why:
Emotional Support
- Validation of Feelings: Email support can provide you with the understanding and sympathy you need, validating your feelings. This can help make you feel less alone in your grief, providing comfort, reassurance and a sense of connection during a difficult time.
Processing of Grief
- Expression of Emotions: Writing an email and receiving a personalised response about your pet who has passed, allows you to work through complex emotions like sadness, guilt or even anger.
Answers to Lingering Doubts
- Sharing Questions: You might have lingering questions about the death of your pet. Putting these forward in your email could also help provide you with helpful insight and enlightenment.
Gaining Perspective
- Different Perspectives: The email response might offer new perspectives on your grief, helping you to see your situation in a different light or offering views you hadn’t considered.
Release of Pent-Up Emotions
- Emotional Release: Writing about your loss can help release pent-up emotions, which is important for emotional well-being and avoiding the build up of unresolved grief.
- Avoiding Loneliness: Sharing your pet’s death can help counter feelings of loneliness that often accompany loss, helping you to feel more supported and less isolated.
Preparation for Grief Stages
- Navigating Grief Stages: Putting down your feelings in writing can help prepare you for the different stages of grief, providing a road map for what to expect as you continue to heal.
- Ongoing Support: The ability to write and receive support via email can make the journey of grief feel more manageable, giving you ongoing support moving forward as you can refer to the email response again and again.
Closure
- Achieving Closure: Sometimes, writing about your pet, your relationship and their passing can bring a sense of closure, helping you to say goodbye and moving toward acceptance.
In summary: Support via email about your pet loss can be a healthy and healing way to process your feelings during a challenging time, helping to make the grieving process more bearable.
