Experiencing the Death of a Pet Can Be Painful and Devastating.
My pets are often my most vulnerable family members, relying on us completely for their care. This includes end-of-life care, which may involve making very difficult decisions about treatment and finally letting go.
This adds complexity to grief because I may struggle with questions surrounding the decision to stop treatment and euthanize: Did I do enough? When is it time to let go? Are you struggling with guilt?
Grief comes in waves. Initially the waves may be intense and relentless, pummeling us to the ground. I may feel that I will never breath (or stop crying) again. But with time and some work, the waves gradually recede, allowing us to stand and take tentative strides toward a “new normal.” Still, the waves will come and go, often crashing near a special day or at a moment when my dear fur-family member comes to mind.
I understand the loss of an animal who shared my lives, and saw us through joy and turmoil. They are always there for us unconditionally. The bond and love is a forever connection and the sense of deep loss is profound.
Please contact me for a consultation. I look forward to hearing from you to help you through this difficult time.
