Grief is challenging whether we have lost a human, or any other animal. Your grief is no less valid when it involves the loss of a pet. Regardless of whether you intend to purchase a painting, it is important to me that people feel supported during bereavement. Here are some resources that allow you space to share, process and move forward.
