About us

We're so sorry for your loss. We know how much it hurts 😢

Losing a beloved pet is never easy 🌈

💛 Are you feeling lost, alone and overwhelmed by grief, with no one to talk to who truly understands?

💛 Do you find yourself wondering how to cope with the excruciating pain, sadness, confusion and guilt that comes with losing a companion who was so much more than just a pet?

💛 Are you desperate for compassion and a safe space to share how you feel and be truly seen in your time of need?

💛 Would you like to connect with others who ‘get it’ and who’ve walked this painful journey, without any judgement?

If this is you, know that this Pet Loss Support Group is here for you.

Our supportive and understanding group is a safe space for healing.

Losing a pet, your loyal companion and a cherished member of your family, is one of the most heartbreaking experiences you’ll ever face in life.

We understand how this loss can affect your heart and life. We’ve been there too.
Grieving a pet is real and just as painful as losing a human loved one, even if the world doesn't always recognise it. We do.

Your precious companion has guided you here for a reason.

In our Pet Loss Support Group, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

How We Support You

We offer two ways to support you through your grief:

💻 Weekly Online Support Sessions
A compassionate, safe space to share, listen, or simply be among others who ‘get it’.

🌿 Monthly In-Person “Walk Our Grief” Meetups (UK)
Gentle, supportive walks in nature where you can connect with other grieving pet parents and feel less alone.

You’re welcome to join either or both. Whatever feels right for you.

What Grieving Pet Parents Say

✨"This group and its members have helped me carry on with the healing process. There’s the opportunity to share my story with people on a similar journey. The kindness and companionship of people who "get it" is invaluable. There’s no judgement here, only compassion for the grief you're feeling." David lost his Greyhound, Jen

✨"This group has been the single most important thing I’ve done that has helped me deal with the loss of Bear. The group is brilliant and has been a lifesaver for me. The group has helped me come to terms with Bear's passing and given me comfort and support when I was at my absolute lowest point. In the early stages of my grief, it was very reassuring to know that this group was there for me." Rich lost his cat, Bear

Why This Group Was Created

In February 2023, my heart was shattered when I lost Tilly, my 13-year-old Yorkie. Tilly was my baby, my angel, and the love of my life. She taught me the meaning of love. How to receive love and how to give love. She was the bravest girl I ever knew 🐶

When Tilly passed, I felt so alone and unsure how to navigate my grief. I felt like people (especially non-pet parents) just didn't understand my pain and what I was going through.

I didn't want anyone else to feel like this, so I decided to turn my pain into purpose. With this isolating feeling and sadness in my heart, I decided to create this group to support others.

My mission is to reach as many people as possible with compassion and understanding so that no one goes through the pain of losing a pet alone.

I hope that one day you'll feel stronger and be able to look back on the beautiful life you shared with your adored animal companion, but one step at a time. There's no timeline for grief and no right or wrong way to grieve.

So, come join us, share your feelings, make new friends and be supported on your pet loss journey among others who ‘get it’. You deserve to heal your heart.

We hope to meet you soon. In the meantime, please be kind to yourself 🙏🏼

RSVP Request

To keep the group safe and supportive, spaces are limited. If you're unable to attend, please update your RSVP so someone else can join.
