Bereavement Counseling

The goal of bereavement counseling is to help you honor the loving memory of your beloved pet by successfully working with you through your feelings of pain and grief. Whether you are facing an imminent death due to your pet’s illness or have experienced the loss already, we will provide compassionate care and practical steps towards healing.

Overview

Losing a pet can be extremely upsetting, sometimes even more so than you might expect. We have such a close bond with our pets, so letting go is never easy and is often filled with pain, sadness, depression—even anger. Our team understands these feelings, as many of us have also lost pets of our own. The emotions we go through are real and nothing to be ashamed of.

Whether your loss is recent or you’ve been grieving for weeks, we are here to help you through this sad transition. We can also help your children understand and cope with their feelings.
