For Pet Loss
Grief SUPPORT SERVICES
"I loved you your whole life, I’ll miss you for the rest of mine."
We know the loss of a pet and that of a person, although entirely different, do in fact elicit similar emotional responses and feelings of devastation.
Losing our pets is a deep and difficult wound to heal from and the process of grieving our pets that have passed requires support.
Our feelings of loss need to be nurtured, witnessed, heard, and consoled.
“IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO FORGET A PET THAT GAVE SO MUCH TO REMEMBER.”
- Grief is not linear and may look different for everyone.
- There is no timeline for how long it takes to grieve.
- Grief comes in waves at anytime, anywhere.
Grief may begin the moment the idea of parting presents through anticipatory grief and also exists during as well as after your pet has parted.
The Parted Paw is committed to helping you understand, process, and grieve the loss of your pet.
Our service is designed to hold space, honour, and support you at each stage of grief you may currently be in.
Each session is dedicated to your emotional wellbeing and provides a safe space where your process of healing can begin.
