Pet Stories honors the bond between humans and their animal companions. With Pet Stories, you can create a safe digital space to store special moments, photos, and a video of your pet. Share your story with our community of pet-lovers or keep it private for your own personal viewing.
Processing Grief Through Storytelling
Every grief experience is valid and deserves to be honored - especially when it comes to our pets. To begin healing, experts recommend practices such as journaling, creating an online memorial, and joining a supportive community. Pet Stories was created with these restorative strategies in mind; to give you an emotional space and digital place to cherish your pet forever.
The Realities of Pet Loss
Studies say that 85% of pet guardians report loss and grief symptoms comparable to the loss of family members. A third of pet guardians have continued to grieve at six months, and almost a quarter still after a year. It's not uncommon to experience anxiety, depression, loss of appetite, physical aches and pains, and more. Read more in Sky News.
Pet Loss and "Disenfranchised Grief"
We need to take the pain of losing a pet more seriously. Pet loss falls under the category of "disenfranchised grief," or grief that isn't publicly recognized or socially acknowledged. But those who have lost pets know that it can be a devastating experience that shakes us to our cores. Worse, our pain often remains invisible. There is no time off from work, no culturally designated ceremonies or services. But we want you to know that you're not alone. Read more in Psychology Today.
