Anticipatory Pet Loss Counseling

When you beloved animal friend is first diagnosed with a terminal illness, approaching their golden years and could be gone soon, you may worry, wonder if you are doing everything you can, and how to plan for the inevitable. Anticipating loss can be an emotional rollercoaster, so having a support system is crucial. In our sessions, we will look like what caring for you looks like, how to ask for help as it truly takes a village, and ways to celebrate, cherish and honor the time you have left together.

 

Pet Loss Counseling

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest things we do as a pet caregiver. If you are close to having to make a life-changing decision about your furry family member’s health, having support can shift thoughts and feeling of anxiety, helplessness and worry to more inner peace and affirming you are doing the very best you can on their behalf. This can help create spaciousness especially around making medical decisions or heart wrenching options around the end of life journey.

If you’ve said good-bye to your pet, imagine a quiet, safe, sacred, confidential space to receive comfort and understanding around the beloved relationship you’ve shared while moving through your grief. It can feel overwhelming and yet so important to set aside time to grieve the loss.

What you can expect:

  • A quiet, safe space to receive love and support
  • A sacred container to set time aside to process your grief
  • Clarify, explore your relationship with your animal friend
  • Look at the gifts and lessons your animal friend brought you
  • Release guilt or shame around what could have, should have been
  • Learn about self-care, caring for yourself the way you cared for your pet
Imagine being met with love right where you are. Nothing is off limits unless you want it to be. The sessions are a compassionate place to be heard, seen, supported laugh, cry and take forward action steps.

 

You deserve to heal that big heart of yours so that you can continue to honor your pet and give your love to yourself and the world.
