About Living with Pet Bereavement
Although many other websites and organisations exist to help people deal with the loss of a pet we felt that, due to the complex nature of pet bereavement, a site was needed to cover every aspect of this subject. We've gathered together all the information and resources relevant to Pet Bereavement and not only have experts from the Pet Bereavement and Veterinary Industry contributed to our site but, we have also included our own personal experiences and that of others.
Living with Pet Bereavement will contain up to date information on all aspects of Pet Bereavement, written specifically by experts in their field.
We will offer the advice and assistance to you which was sadly lacking for us when we experienced our own losses.
Living with Pet Bereavement is a non profit making organisation, our experts have given their time and expertise voluntarily to help others. However, if you have found our website useful please take time to look at our donation & sponsorship page. All money donated to Living with Pet Bereavement will be given to chosen pet charities working tirelessly offering pallative care or rehoming of elderly pets.
