PET LOSS
Given the intense bond we share with our animal companions, it is natural to feel devastated by feelings of grief and sadness when our pet dies. While people around you may not understand the depth of feeling you had for your pet, you should never feel guilty or ashamed about grieving for an animal, family member, or friend.
For many people, a pet is not "just a dog" or "just a cat." Pets are beloved family members; you feel a significant, even traumatic, loss when they die. The level of grief may depend on various factors, such as your age and personality, your pet's age, and the circumstances of their death. Generally, the more complicated the loss, the more intense the grief may be. Some such complications may be due to the animal's role in your life. For example, if your pet was a working dog or a helper animal such as a guide dog, you'll be grieving the loss of a companion and co-worker and also your independence. Other complicating factors may include: If you lived alone and the pet was your only companion, or if you could not afford expensive veterinary treatment to prolong the life of your pet, you may feel a profound sense of guilt.
I have dealt with the loss of my own beloved animal companions over the years and have also provided support and counselling to many grieving pet owners. When you have suffered the loss of a cherished pet, rest assured that I offer an empathetic, warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment where, together, we can find ways for you to work through your grief.
My fees are reasonable and flexible, and I offer a sliding scale for students, seniors, or others with financial limitations.
