Grieving the loss of a pet: You’re not alone

When you lose a beloved companion animal your whole world can change. Grief is unique and isn’t reserved for the loss of humans.  There is a Human-Animal bond that is important to acknowledge.

 

Feeling emotionally vulnerable is natural when you lose a pet. You need to process overwhelming feelings.  One first step is to know you are not alone.

 

I am here to help you through this difficult journey.

Please reach to speak with me, as a Certified Pet Loss Grief Specialist with the Associataion for Pet Loss and Bereavement; talking will help ease your pain. 

 

Losing your companion animal can be an extremely difficult and painful experience. Knowing how to support yourself during an emotional time can help you feel more at ease. 

 

With the right insight and knowledge, I can help you understand and care for yourself in the best way possible.My approach acknowledges your loss and my 15yrs of combined clinical and community, private practice experiences will help you navigate this difficult time of mourning.
