Grief and Pet Loss Resources
From personal experience i know when you are dealing with pet loss, or the potential death of a pet, it can be a devastating, shocking, stressful and debilitating time, during which you can be dealing with anticipatory grief, and depression and grief, and finding the resources you need can be extremely difficult, and these situations are made all the harder by either a lack of information, or the wrong information, when you have limited time and often, limited finances.
I have therefore put together this list of resources in the hope that they will be helpful to those seeking help in these difficult times.
