Tufts University – Grief Support Hotline
Tufts University offers a Grief Support Hotline to help individuals cope with the pain and grief that often accompany pet loss.
- Phone: 508-839-7966
- Availability: Messages left during off-hours will be returned during the next normal hotline shift at no cost to the caller.
The goal of the hotline is not to provide formal counseling or erase grief but to offer compassionate support as individuals navigate the unique journey of pet loss. The hotline is staffed by student volunteers who provide one-on-one conversations, understanding that no two experiences of loss are the same.

Volunteers regularly attend meetings to deepen their understanding of grief and better support the emotional needs of each caller.
