Ahead of National Pet Remembrance Day (5th July), I'm talking to Diane James, from the Blue Cross Pet Loss Support Service.
We talk about the various forms of pet loss, including theft and rehoming for any reason.
We also talk about the different stages of grief we can go through and the free support that is available through the Blue Cross service.
If you've been affected by pet loss, whether it's a recent loss or happened some time ago, you can contact the Blue Cross helpline: 0800 096 6606 (8.30am - 8.30pm every day) or email them at plsmail@bluecross.org.uk or chat online.
