Have you lost a pet recently? Did you share your memories about your pet online? Did the online context help connect you to others? Did it help you grieve?

If these questions interest you, we would like to interview you. Interviews will run from 30 minutes to one hour. We will ask you to share some of the images of your pet that you shared online to talk about your experiences.

The research involves a participant-led interview in which you guide the direction of the conversation about sharing of grief online for loss of a pet. We will begin with an image of the pet and then you lead the conversation in ways that make you feel safe and supported. This project seeks to give visibility to grief around pet loss as an important ritual in society.

If you decide you want to take part in the research project, you can access the Participant Information and Consent Form below. It tells you about the research project and explains the processes involved with taking part. Knowing what is involved will help you decide if you want to take part in the research.
