Loss of a Pet

Grieving for the loss of an animal, through their death, parting, or enforced separation, can be a very sad and difficult experience. A number of resources are available to support you from ASWA and secular organisations such as Blue Cross and SCAS.

For Immediate Help

For further help for the loss of a pet or companion animal the Blue Cross is available via a free and confidential helpline, webchat, email and Facebook group.
