Grief Support
A space for the love that doesn’t know where to go yet.
Losing an animal companion is a unique kind of grief. It’s quiet, often misunderstood, and deeply personal. Here at Pawthologie, we honor the bond between humans and animals and the pain that comes when that bond changes form. This space exists for comfort, validation, and gentle guidance through loss.
Understanding Pet Grief.
Grief after losing a pet is real, complex, and often disenfranchised. Many people feel they “should be over it” or that their loss is minimized by others. In reality, companion animals are attachment figures, emotional regulators, and daily constants. Losing them can impact routine, identity, and a sense of safety.
You Are Not Alone.
If you are grieving a pet, you are not being dramatic, weak, or over-attached. You are responding to the loss of a relationship built on trust, routine, safety, and unconditional presence. Your grief is proportional to your love, and your love was real.
If you’re here because your heart is heavy, you’re welcome to stay.
Read, rest, remember, and take what you need.
Grief moves at its own pace. There is no timeline here.
