Supporting pet owners through their grief is a vital part of the services that pet end-of-life professionals provide. Here are some ways you can help families navigate the difficult period following the loss of a beloved pet:
💜 Stay in close communication: More than you ever have before, reaching out can make a significant difference.
💜 Send a sympathy card: Consider following up with an anniversary card in the future too.
💜 Call them tomorrow: And the next day. Frequent check-ins show you care.
💜 Use your social sites to pay tribute: Share memories and honor the departed soul.
💜 Showcase a memorial tribute: A thoughtful way to remember the joys shared.
💜 Host a 'Good-Bye/Until We Meet Again' event: Bring closure and communal support.
💜 Hold routine virtual memorial services: Weekly or monthly, these services can provide a consistent space for mourning and remembrance.
💜 Run a virtual pet loss support group: Use platforms like Facebook Live or Zoom to create a supportive community.
Each of these steps can help provide comfort and affirm that they’re not alone in their grief.
