A Place to Be Heard
You may wish to share stories about an animal you miss, an animal you are worried about, or an animal who is changing with age. You may wish to sit quietly and know someone is present. You may simply need a moment where your love, grief, worry or memories are acknowledged and respected.
SECTION 03
Understanding Pet Grief
Bereavement grief
Grief after the death of an animal who shared your life.
Separation grief
Grief when you are parted from an animal through circumstances like rehoming, relationship changes, or illness.
Anticipatory grief
Grief that begins before a loss, when you know goodbye is coming.
Every animal matters
Some animals bark. Some curl up beside us. Some swim gently through their glass worlds. But every one of them becomes part of our lives.
George and Herbert were two fish who brought quiet joy into a home and when they were gone, their absence was felt just the same.
Because love isn't measured by fur, feathers, scales or size.
It's measured by the space they leave behind.
Meaningful keepsakes are also available to honour the bond you share whether they are still beside you or held in memory.
The bond we share with animals shapes our lives in ways that stay with us.
Rainbow Whispers exists to offer quiet support, remembrance and understanding through the many stages of loving, caring for and missing an animal companion.
