pet loss support text line
Some of the hardest struggles and toughest grief can happen when dealing with the loss or illness of a pet. That’s why being able to access support is so important.
Introducing the Pet Loss Support Text Line
Whether you’re grieving from the loss or an anticipated loss, managing hospice or chronic illness, or going through another difficult time with your pet, this text line is here to support you.
614-285-7122
The text line is actively monitored Monday-Friday between 12-6pm ET. Texts outside of that time will be answered within 24 hours (often much sooner). What does this mean? It means support is just a text away. Really.
This service is free and made possible by donations. I am hoping to expand hours and availability soon as well as work toward non-profit status.
Some fine print:
This is a support text line only. No medical advice is given. If you are in an urgent situation with your pet, please seek the appropriate help from vetrinary professionals. This support line is not intended to care for those in a mental health crisis. Other resources are available such as the Crisis Text Line, which can be reached at 741741. This support line is not affiliated with any other support service.
“Grief and love are sisters, woven together from the beginning. Their kinship reminds us that there is no love that does not contain loss and no loss that is not a reminder of the love we carry for what we once held close.”
