PetLossHelp.Org is a website devoted to helping you manage the grieving process that follows the loss of an animal companion. Losing a precious friend can be among the most devastating experiences in a person's life. Often we are overwhelmed with feelings that are so strong, we feel as if we cannot tolerate the intensity of the grief.
On this website you will find answers to common questions associated with the grieving process, stories of other magnificent creatures who have enriched the lives of their human stewards, a weekly column on different aspects of pet loss, links to other websites and a form where you can submit the name photo and story of your best friend for our weekly featured posting.
You can learn about animal assisted therapy programs offered by Angel on a Leash which celebrate and demonstrate the strength of the human animal bond. Finally, we will soon be facilitating an online weekly chat for those who are mourning the loss of animal companions.
The website is offered by therapist Susan Stone, LCSW a northern NJ licensed mental health professional with specialties in bereavement and trauma. Ms. Stone facilitates the pet bereavement group at Oradell Animal Hospital in Paramus, NJ, educates veterinary staff about the effects of ongoing loss, and writes and speaks about the human animal bond.
