Voicemail Project: The Emotional Impact Of Losing A Pet

Pixabay

The death of a pet can be a devastating emotional experience. Yet from the outside, we often don’t view someone losing a pet to be on the same level of loss as the death of a human friend or relative.

On Tuesday, December 4, Where We Live will explore the emotional impact of the death of pets.

Have you lost a beloved pet? How did you feel it was appropriate for you to grieve for that animal? How did that loss impact your life, and what sort of support did you receive (or not receive) from people around you? We want to hear from you.

Call our voicemail line, before Tuesday, December 4, at 860-580-9677 and tell us a story that you’d be willing to share on air. And be sure to leave your name and a phone number where we can reach you if we have follow up questions.
