Free 20 Minute Phone Consultation
This is a no obligation opportunity for us to get to know each other, at least a little bit! Tell me about your concerns, what behaviors or issues you’re dealing with, how you’re coping and I’ll explain how I can help.
Anticipatory Grief
Anticipatory grief is the emotional process of mourning a loss before it actually happens.
These are a few common thoughts people experiencing this type of grief have:
- Is my dog suffering?
- Why didn’t I notice symptoms sooner?
- Did I do enough?
- How much time is left?
We talk about how you’re manifesting anticipatory grief, how to help you deal with your concerns, find ways to enjoy the moments with your dog and create happy memories that will stay with you.
Quality of Life
Deciding when to say goodbye is a difficult decision, particularly because it’s subjective. It depends on what illness or health issue your dog is dealing with, their personality and your own personal beliefs. Some people make the decision when the diagnosis is given, others wait as long as possible.
We talk about issues such as pain and anxiety, happiness of your dog, various quality of life indicator tools available to help you, and of course the importance of involving your vet.

Pet Loss Grief Support
I am here to help you cope with the emotional impact of losing your much loved pet. I provide comfort and support in a non judgmental space, and help you find ways to honor their memory, while helping you navigate your grief journey.
I’ve experienced grief so profound I couldn’t stop crying, and wasn’t able to say my dog’s name for years. I’ve also had less severe reactions, but felt the loss just as deeply.
I also know what it’s like to not have anyone to turn to who understands, and to feel so lost and alone you don’t know how you’re ever going to feel better.
Grief doesn’t look one way, and working through it doesn’t look one way either, which is why each session is personalized to your needs.
