The hardest part of loving an animal is saying goodbye. It can be difficult for others to understand especially if they don’t have a pet. Still everyone wants to offer comfort to a grieving pet owner so here are four kind things you can say or do for someone who has lost a beloved pet:
1. I’m so sorry for your loss.
A simple, heartfelt sentiment that acknowledges the pain the pet owner is in at this difficult time.
2. My favorite memory is...
Sharing something sweet, touching, and memorable about the lost pet will bring a smile to the owner.
3. Offer something in memory of the pet. A donation to their favorite rescue, a candle lit in memory on Rainbow Bridge or send a card acknowledging the loss.
4. Give them a hug
Sometimes no words are the best way to show your support.
