Grief Support
It is completely natural to feel grief at the loss of a pet. In fact, grieving is a healthy part of the end-of-life process, and something that needs to be experienced in order to overcome the pain of loss and eventually move forward. While we will always miss our beloved pets that have passed on, their loss becomes easier to bear if we allow ourselves to grieve. In time, we can remember our pets fondly, and cherish the memories they gave us.
Halo Pet Hospice can connect you with experienced grief counselors and social workers who are certified in veterinary hospice. Call (219) 200-4808 for more information and consult our links below for additional resources.
