supporting ourselves & others through grief & mourning
Humans in every age group can be affected by the loss of a beloved pet. Grief is a natural response to loss, not a pathology. The most important thing that we all need is to have proper space made so that we can be seen, heard & acknowledged as we mourn & grow around our grief. How to provide that space to others appropriately -- & how to communicate what you need as a griever -- need not be complicated or mystifying. As a Pet Loss and Grief Companioning Certified Professional, Certified Animal Hospice Practitioner and Certified Hospice & Palliative Care Advocate, I'm offering you a pathway to tap into resources to be of better support to others and to advocate for yourself.
