Kristin Voumard Pet Loss Counselling Australia
Support for pet loss
Support may be helpful at many different points in your journey, including:
Anticipatory grief when a pet is seriously ill or nearing the end of life
Preparing emotionally to say goodbye
Difficult decisions surrounding euthanasia
Grief following the death of a beloved pet
Feelings of guilt, regret or uncertainty
Loneliness and the loss of companionship
Grief that feels overwhelming or difficult to share with others
Remembering and honouring the relationship you shared
Supporting children or family members affected by pet loss
You do not need to have the “right” words. Sometimes it simply helps to have a place where your feelings can be heard and understood.
Understanding pet loss
The relationship we have with a pet can be one of the most constant and uncomplicated sources of love in our lives. They share our homes, our routines and our quiet moments. They are present through important chapters of our lives.
Grief is not a sign that you are unable to cope. It is often a reflection of the love and connection that existed. Your loss matters.
