Moving Through the Loss of Pet Rats

How can our hearts heal after we lose our friends?

The loss of pet rats can be overwhelming. For awhile it doesn’t seem possible that they are gone. And moving on seems impossible. We ask, “Will I ever smile again? Will I ever be able to love again?”

Sharing your stories can help you sort through your difficult thoughts. And maybe your story will be just the inspiration that helps another person be able to smile again.

Sharing our experiences can be hard yet healing. In memory of our beloved pets, start the road to loving again. Take this time and space to begin the journey. They wouldn’t want us to hurt forever.

Please Share Your Story

Pet rats enrich our lives. Your experiences & memories are so valuable.
