Reassuring Letter About Losing a Pet

Losing a beloved pet is one of the hardest experiences for a child. As parents, we want to support their grief, validate their emotions, and help them process their loss in a healthy way, but finding the right words to comfort and reassure them can be difficult. That’s where Finn the Friendly Mermaid & Sage the Supportive Mermaid come in.

This real letter, delivered straight to your child’s post box, has been written by an Early Childhood Educator in consultation with a psychologist to provide a gentle, age-appropriate way to navigate pet loss. Through the heartfelt undersea story of their beloved pet seal, Tide, Finn and Sage guide children through the waves of grief, helping them understand that all feelings are valid, memories are treasures, and love never truly disappears.
