Pet bereavement counselling
For many of us a pet is family. When they die, the grief can be as deep as any other.
They are there every day, through every change in our lives, and the bond is real. Losing them, or having to make the decision to have them put to sleep, can be devastating.
It can also be a lonely grief. Other people do not always understand, and you may feel you have to hide how much you are hurting, or apologise for it. You may be carrying guilt about decisions you made at the end, or coming home to a house that feels painfully quiet.
You do not have to justify this loss to me. It matters because they mattered to you.
How counselling can help
- Space to talk about your companion and the part they played in your life
- Working through guilt, especially around end of life decisions
- Coping with the change to your daily routine and your home
- Feeling understood when others have played down the loss
- Deciding, in your own time, what comes next
If you are grieving for an animal you loved, you are welcome here.
Not all loss is bereavement, but all loss can bring grief.
