The death of a pet is a significant event. And like a stone dropped in a pond, the effect of this event spreads – out across time, touching the friends and relatives of the bereaved family, and diving deeply into the hearts of those closest to the loss.

Without support in this time of trial, people immersed in the grieving process can feel helpless and hopeless, overwhelmed with emotion. We know this feeling all too well, and we set out to create a resource for your life after the passing of your pet.
