Understanding Pet Loss Grief
Grieving the loss of a pet is often misunderstood. Friends or family may not always recognize the depth of your pain, which can make the experience even more isolating. Pet loss counselling can help you process emotions and honour the bond you shared.
Common experiences after pet loss include:
Intense sadness or crying spells
Feelings of guilt or regret
Changes in sleep or appetite
Difficulty concentrating
Feeling misunderstood or alone
Struggles adjusting to daily routines without your pet
Every loss is unique. Through compassionate conversation and evidence-based support, our team is here to help you move toward acceptance and peace, without minimizing the love and memories you hold dear.

FAQ about Pet Loss Counselling
-
Pet loss counselling provides a safe, supportive space to talk about your grief, process difficult emotions, and find ways to honour your pet’s memory. A counsellor helps you navigate sadness, guilt, or loneliness while developing healthy coping strategies to move forward at your own pace.
-
Grief has no set timeline, it’s important to remember that every person’s journey is different. Some people find comfort after a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. Counselling focuses on helping you adjust to life without your pet while keeping their memory close.
-
Not at all. Many people seek support months or even years after a pet’s passing, especially if unresolved emotions or guilt remain. Counselling can also help if you’re facing an upcoming loss or caring for an aging or ill pet (anticipatory grief).
-
Sessions are relaxed and conversational. You’ll have the opportunity to share your story, explore emotions, and learn coping techniques. Your counsellor may also guide you in creating personal rituals or ways to remember your pet in a meaningful way.
