Grieving the loss of a pet varies significantly between Eastern and Western cultures, influenced by cultural norms, religious beliefs, and societal expectations. In many Western cultures, pets are often considered part of the family, and their loss is deeply felt. However, there can be a societal expectation to “move on” from pet grief relatively quickly. In contrast, Eastern cultures often view pet grief as a communal experience, with a strong emphasis on remembering and honoring the deceased through ongoing rituals that can extend for years, providing a structured way to manage grief.
Our goal is to normalize pet grief through education, awareness, and the adoption of more Western-centric views.

Well, it’s the feast day of St Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, so what could be more fitting?
