Pet loss counselling available. Whether you’ve experienced pet loss through sudden death, long-term illness, old age, runaway, theft, loss of custody, relinquishment, or any other event, the loss can send our emotions spinning. If or when we do not feel seen, heard, and acknowledged in our grief, we end up feeling as if our pain is dismissed or minimized. This experience is inclusive to anticipatory grief whereby you may find yourself struggling to live out your animal’s final days mindfully, constantly anticipating the end. I can provide the space to unpack what’s coming up and help you prepare for their final days/weeks/months.
My role can involve showing up with curiosity, bearing witness to the pain that is losing your beloved animal, and helping with the transition from a relationship of presence to a relationship of memory.
Our time can be a chance to reflect on how this experience has changed who you are and explore what steps might be useful in finding ways to live with grief and joy simultaneously. It would be a privilege to be entrusted with your story and cherished relationship. Please contact me today to set up a free 15 minute, no obligation consultation.
