No one seems to understand.

They say he was “just a dog,” but that isn’t true.

He was your best friend, your most trusted confidante, and a huge part of your life.

And making your way in the world without him feels impossible.

You’ve never felt loss like this.

The grief is profound, and it’s hard to imagine life will ever be the same again.

It’s difficult to sleep, and it feels like you’re moving through each day in a detached daze.

It’s as though your world has stopped moving, and there’s no way to restart it.

Emotions are wild and uncontrollable.

One moment, you feel disconnected and numb; the next, you’re on the verge of tears.

It’s like you’re trapped in an endless cycle of depression, anger, shock, anxiety, and confusion.

And you’re overwhelmed with shame for wanting to move forward and avoiding things that remind you of your loss.

You’ve lost your way.

You’ve allowed yourself the time and space to grieve, honoring the bond you shared and commemorating your pet in meaningful ways.

You’ve tried to focus on positive memories or stay occupied, holding on to the hope that time would ease the pain.

Despite all of your efforts, you’ve found no relief, and wondering what more you can do to heal.

There is hope for healing.

Your grief needs to be heard, expressed, and told with love so that, in time, it can become more manageable.

You deserve a safe and non-judgmental environment to find new ways of coping with your loss.

It’s time to learn strategies to help you emerge from grief feeling confident, empowered, healthier, and happier.

It’s not what happens to you but how you react to it that matters.

Together, we’ll walk and talk as you discover the strength and resilience you already have inside you.

Along the way, I’ll offer you direct strategies to assist you in creating transformation and growth even after a traumatic experience.
