Pet Grief Coaching
A pet is never truly forgotten until it is no longer remembered – Lacie Petitto
Pet Grief Coaching is a process where a coach helps pet owners set specific goals and develop a plan to cope with their grief. This could involve strategies to remember the pet, ways to honour the pet’s memory, or methods to manage the feelings of loss.
THE 7 STAGES OF GRIEF
Grief for a loved one or for a beloved pet goes through seven stages.
- Shock
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining/guilt
- Depression
- Testing and
- Acceptance
USING ART IN THE HEALING PROCESS
Incorporating art into the coaching session to support your healing is a choice you make. Using art helps you to express yourself when words are not enough. As a coach using art therapy techniques helps us to focus on what the piece of work you are creating means for you and not on the creation of art itself.
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!
Having experienced the loss of muliple dogs and cats, I possess firsthand knowledge of the various stages and intensitiy of grief that you may feel. The lack of understanding from family, friends, and colleagues sometimes left me feeling alone.
CUSTOM SESSION
Our time together is tailored to assist you in rediscovering balance and honoring the life of your cherished pet, free from the overwhelmiing weight of grief.
ONLINE
The coaching sessions are conducted exclusively online through Zoom or, if accessing a computer is not possible, via telephone. Each session has a duration of 45 minutes.
Achieving balance
When grief turned your world into turmoil achieving balance and acceptance of the loss is the primary goal. Grief ebbs and flows and does not follow a structure. As your coach I am here to support you until you find a measure of balance you are comfortable with.
