When Marion’s beloved dog Oliver died she needed someone to turn to.
He was my world. I’d had a lot of bereavements in my life but nothing touched me like this did. The Pet Bereavement Support Service gave me support by email for around a year.
Marion, on losing her beloved dog Oliver
She says: “He was my world. I’d had a lot of bereavements in my life but nothing touched me like this did.
“I contacted the Pet Bereavement Support Service and they gave me support by email for around a year.
I can’t stress enough how wonderful it was – I knew somebody was there for me and it was incredible to have that, because pet bereavement is something that isn’t often understood."
