Resources for Pet Loss Support

This page is a living list — we update it as we find things that genuinely help.

Hotlines & Counseling

ASPCA Pet Loss Support Line
A free service staffed by trained volunteers. Available evenings and weekends.

Lap of Love Hospice Network
Beyond their hospice care, they maintain grief support resources and a directory of grief counselors with pet loss experience.

Books

"The Loss of a Pet" — Wallace Sife
One of the most clear-eyed, compassionate books written specifically about pet bereavement. Not sentimental — honest.

"Goodbye, Friend" — Gary Kowalski
A gentler read. Good for the early days when you need softness more than answers.

Online Community

Our own PetCloud community is here. The Sunday Journaling thread in particular has become a place where members share their reflections without judgment.

You don't have to have the right words. You just have to show up.


Is there a resource we've missed? Let us know at hello@petcloud.pet and we'll consider adding it.
