Pet bereavement support.

Having lost one of my beloved cats recently I did a bit of research into pet bereavement and thought some of the links I found might be useful to others who have unfortunately found themselves having to say goodbye to a much loved companion animal.

It can be very difficult to effectively grieve for a pet in a society which largely treats animals as disposable so I'd like anyone who feels the need for support to feel free to use this thread.

I might add more links to this post as I go along and will be happy to add links which other's may think are helpful.

thankyou for this i will keep this in mind, we lost our little lad(cat) last night and we're crushed, dont think we're ready for it yet but i think i'll use it soon, he wasn't even 1 we live on a quiet street but people cut through because they cant be bothered sitting at traffic lights unfortunately we got the p***k who was speeding.
