From people who came through it

  • “If you're scared right now, I get it. Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. Put our dog to sleep after 14 years. That was my life. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”

  • “I don't have advice. I just know the first week is strange and quiet and people say the wrong thing. For me it helped to leave her lead where it was for a while. Then one day I took it down and put it in a drawer. That was all I could do that day. If you're still stepping around the basket, that's alright. You don't have to move it yet. I still miss her. That hasn't changed but it's softer now.”

  • “About three years ago, that was me. Back then it was her lead still on the hook. I wake up most days without that dread. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.”

    Patience P · been through losing a pet

  • “Sorry if this is a lot. Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I let myself be sad for an hour a day and then do something. It sort of works. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
