Pet Loss
Has your pet been diagnosed with a terminal illness?
Are you struggling to cope with the loss of your beloved companion?
Has the loss of your pet caused you to feel lonely, anxious, or depressed?
For many pet owners, our pets are much more than companions: they're family. Losing a pet can be heartbreaking. You might feel like there's a piece of you missing that you'll never get back; you don't know how to move forward.
There are many ways to help yourself process the loss of a pet and move toward a place of healing. Meditation, exercise, and healthy eating are some simple ways to help yourself. Actively grieving by doing something to honor the memory of your pet can also help you cope with your loss.
