Contact Blue Cross
Blue Cross support line volunteers are not counsellors, but are trained in providing emotional support. They are there to listen and to help you gently explore how you are feeling. They are not there to tell you what to do or how to react, as everyone experiences grief in a unique way. Having direct experience of pet loss, our volunteers can empathise with what you are going through. If you do need additional help then they can point you in the right direction.
About Pet Loss Support
Maybe you can’t quite find the words to express how you feel, you feel floored by the absence of an animal, or you have questions about whether or not to get another pet. You may feel you will burden friends or family with your grief, or you are anticipating the time you will have to say goodbye to a pet who is still living, or are heartbroken about a pet who is missing or stolen. You may even wish to call about a pet who has passed away many months or even years ago. Blue Cross can support you with whatever you're feeling, whenever you want to contact them.
