Hi everyone
Welcome to the STIG - Support Through Immense Grief page.

My beautiful Stig passed on the 9th of December 2023. I have been absolutely shattered, by his loss.

I run an anxiety and depression support group and pet parent support group through The South African Depression and Anxiety group. SADAG have been wonderful throughout my journey as support group leader. So when I decided to grow support around pet bereavement, I approached SADAG for their input.

While STIG - Support Through Immense Grief will provide extra resources on pet bereavement and encourage support groups, support groups will all be SADAG based. SADAG will train anyone interested in becoming a support group leader, list support groups and provide support for leaders and their members as they do with all SADAG support groups.
These groups will be listed here on the STIG page.

Whats happening now?
* We are currently in the process of registering an NPO.
* Designing our website for extra resources
* Setting up social accounts.

In the future:
* We hope to provide support for pet parents when it comes to pet bereavement and end of life pet care.

Kindly follow our page and watch for updates .

My boy is gone.
My soul is hollow.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good. W H Auden

My boy you are my everything.
I love you with my heart, my soul my entire being.
You are absolute perfection.
If my love could have saved you - you would have lived forever.
But now you live inside my heart.
I take you everywhere.

As much as we sometimes view our pets as human-like and happily to spoil, adore, and talk to them, it is very important to remember that in some regards they have very different biology than we do. The very same things that we enjoy can make them incredibly ill. This is especially true when it comes to food items. Foods that are toxic to dogs and cats are in every home, and it’s our job as their caretakers to be familiar with what they are...

Subscribe to my blog for next weeks article about things that your dogs shouldn't have at all.

I really hope that you enjoy this series.

DURING COVID-19 LOCKDOWNS, OUR FURRY FRIENDS BECOME LIFESAVERS!

Pets are known to give us unconditional love and boost our physical and mental well-being!

A recent study has hailed them as heroes as they helped stave off loneliness during the pandemic.

Researchers suggest that pets be included in hospitals and aged care facilities. I have always said that the sick and elderly could benefit from the love of a pet! I WISH that doctors could prescribe a pet in such instances.

Read this very interesting article!
