Dear Pet Parent,

I am so sorry for your loss. For many of us, our pets are our best friends, constant companions and valued members of the family. Rather than "just a pet," they are our fur-kids. Losing them can be extremely painful and may affect us emotionally and physically (and very often, spiritually). When suffering a loss, we might encounter a lot of strong emotions and issues such as:

Deep sadness
Feelings of guilt or self-blame
Anger
Irritability
Difficulty concentrating
Forgetfulness and confusion
Difficulty sleeping
Extreme fatigue
Lack of appetite
Reduced interest in activities
Physical pain

...and more. These feelings can be very difficult to navigate, especially when friends, family or co-workers don't understand. However, please know that all of your feelings are valid and a normal part of grieving the loss of a much-loved friend and companion.

"Harold"
The little guinea pig who taught me that love is truly forever,
and death is not the end.

Whether your pet was a dog, cat, horse, bird, guinea pig, fish or any other living creature, the love you had for your pet was very real, and so is the pain of that loss.

Who Needs Pet Bereavement Support?

Anyone who is grieving the loss of a beloved pet deserves to have the support and resources they need in order to work through the loss. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness; in fact, recognizing the need for extra support during grief can be a very strong, positive step in this journey.

How I Can Help

Books & Resources
My focus is on providing you with tools that you can use as you sort through the many tough feelings and sensations that are a natural part of the grieving process. I have written a collection of healing resource booklets that may be helpful guides as you grieve the loss of your pet and begin to gradually move toward a place of reconciliation and healing.

Free 15-Minute Consultation
I am happy to schedule a free, 15-minute session via Zoom to answer any general questions you may have about pet loss and the grieving process, and to explore any support needs that you may have. As an alternative, I can also provide an email consultation to you at no charge.

Individual Support Sessions
I also offer reasonably-priced individual pet loss support sessions which are available virtually via Zoom for adult pet parents (21 years of age or older) who would like one-on-one grief support. These sessions encourage the grieving pet parent to tell their story and explore ways to help navigate through some of the many difficult emotions that are a natural part losing a beloved animal companion. Sessions provide a safe, non-judgmental space in which you can share what you are experiencing and feel supported as you work through your loss. The goal is to find strategies that can help facilitate reconciliation and healing. Learn more here.
