Pets hold a special place in a child’s heart, providing companionship, love and comfort. They can be seen as a best friend and even a sibling. When a beloved pet passes away it is often the first time that they experience such a deep sense of grief and loss, and children can struggle to understand and express how they are feeling. Supporting children through pet loss requires empathy, understanding, and patience. By providing a safe and loving environment, encouraging expression of emotions, and allowing them to grieve in their own way, you can help children navigate the difficult process of pet loss and find healing. The Ralph Site has some very useful information to help children cope with pet loss and you can also find some strategies on our website at https://www.fondfarewellvets.co.uk/resources/supporting-children/
