An association of pet loss counselors and professionals. The site offers links, articles, a bookstore, and directories of counselors and pet loss support groups.
I don't usually post links to personal tributes, but this is a wonderful, moving example of how to plan a "parting day" and create a farewell event for one's pet and family.
An excellent resource from pet loss counselor Marty Tousley. It offers an extensive collection of Marty's articles and columns on grief, plus other resources.
This is a fabulous site with lots of resources. It offers free tributes, a means of keeping a pet loss or remembrance diary, and loads of quotes on pets and pet loss.
This is not a Christian site per se, but has some interesting comparisons of religious views on the issue, as well as a discussion of pets on the astral plane.
Information and advocacy regarding natural burials within pet cemeteries for those
who prefer burial to cremation, and natural burial to underground entombment. They
also address pet burials in family plots of (human) cemeteries.
