From people who came through it

  • “For whoever is where I was: About three years ago, that was me. I remember the empty basket like it was yesterday. Now I sleep most nights. It changes. It really does.”

  • “Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. A grief counsellor helped me more than I expected. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”

    Yassine W. · been through losing a pet

  • “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.”

  • “Please be gentle with yourself and I wasn't, and it made everything harder and I talk to them out loud sometimes and it helps more than it should. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
