Bereavement Support
The bond between a person and their companion animal is real, deep, and irreplaceable.
You Are Not Alone in This Grief
The bond between a person and their companion animal is real, deep, and irreplaceable. When that bond is broken, whether through sudden loss or a long goodbye, the grief that follows deserves to be taken seriously.
I provide individual bereavement support for pet owners navigating the full emotional landscape of companion animal loss: the anticipatory grief that begins before a pet is gone, the acute pain of the days that follow, and the longer, quieter work of healing.
One-on-One Sessions with a Certified Pet Loss Bereavement Specialist
Together, we'll explore what you're feeling without judgment, identify coping strategies that fit your life, and work toward healing at a pace that feels right. Whether you're still in the anticipatory stage — dreading a loss you can see coming — or you're in the thick of grief after saying goodbye, this is a space where your pain is understood and your bond is honored.
This Is Real Grief. It Deserves Real Support.
Pet loss is often minimized by the world around us. Friends may not understand. Coworkers may expect you to bounce back. But you know what this companion meant to you — and I do too.
My path to this work was shaped by over a decade in veterinary medicine and my own experience with profound personal loss. I've sat with families during their hardest moments, and I've felt the gap that exists once they walk out the clinic door. Peaceful Paws exists to fill that gap.
