25.01.2022 I love this although our propensity is often to move away from pain.... What are your thoughts? https://www.facebook.com/447234425404141/posts/3160393710754852/?extid=0&d=n

23.01.2022 I couldn’t have said it better myself, thank you to The Green Woman. On this Christmas Day 2020, I hope you can find whatever fills your heart with love. No matter at what stage of our grieving we are, this time of year can be emotionally triggering for a lot of people. Look up to the sky, feel the beating of your heart, you loved them, and they loved you so very deeply and nothing will ever change that. Be kind to yourself and do what you need today, as always.... With love

21.01.2022 I walked back into the Cottage today from seeing a client out to the front gate and there is my Daisy girl fast asleep after soothing my beautiful client. She does her job well, allows people to pat her or cuddle her through their tears, or she just sits quietly or goes to sleep in the room. #therapydog #soothing #comforting #intuitive #calmingpresence #nervoussystemregulation #myworld #workingdog #checkinginonyou #petloss #petgrief #petlosssupport #counselling #counsellor #bymysideau

18.01.2022 Have you lost a beloved dog/pet and sometimes feel you would like to interact and be around dogs again without making a full commitment to bring one into the family? If so, have a look into the links below . I have had experience with and have been on the free and friendly walks offered. There are usually plenty of people that turn up, some have dogs, some do not. They also have lots of promotions and special stuff that goes on including Zoom events (at this time due to Cov...id19) with celebs! Founder, TJ Melrose was an integral part of last years Pet Memory Walk we ran (unfortunately we had to cancel this year due to COVID-19). Get on board and support this charitable organisation and get out into nature and maybe pet a doggO or two . With both formal and informal meet ups, they are an insured and registered group. They are also looking for more volunteers and additionally businesses who may want to support them. Join their page relevant to your area and let the fun begin. All ages welcome. Walks suit all abilities! We aren’t power walkers - this us more about social.

16.01.2022 "Examples of dogs and cats touching their owners when the latter were distressed, sad, or traumatised were cited. Many people referenced pets’ innate ability to just know when their human counterparts weren’t feeling well and to want to get physically close to them." Touch is an understudied sense, but existing evidence indicates it is crucial for growth, development and health, as well as reducing the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the body. It is also thought that touch may be particularly important for older people as other senses decline." https://www.newswise.com//pets-touch-and-covid-19-why-ou/

12.01.2022 I couldn’t help re-post this message.! What a year it has been.

12.01.2022 I read many articles/blogs on the topic of pet loss and grief; I can say this is probably the best I’ve read. It could relate to other species also.

10.01.2022 Many people are profoundly affected by a pets death.

09.01.2022 https://www.facebook.com/groups/1077951982224685/ Did you know that you can be part of a very special private community to help you before and after the loss of a beloved pet? You can, and the link below will allow you access. Join the Pet Grief & Loss Support (Heavenly Pets) private Facebook Group to 'be' with other people that are empathetic, for support, and to ask questions about pet grief and loss. The Group is monitored to ensure safety and respect. Connecting with othe...r people throughout loss is so important, particularly those that can understand on some level what we are going through. Hope to see you there . Vicky.

07.01.2022 This article is very worth the read. When I lost Boof, I experienced grief not like any other I’d experienced in my life. He was always by my side, a faithful mate and gave unconditional love until his working dog eyes closed and he left my life. I thought that surely I was the only one to feel such depths of pain when losing a beloved pet. That is until I started reading, researching, studying and talking to many other people about their experiences, and working at a vet p...ractice. I found that I was far from alone. This article shows just that . I know you all have your own experiences too. https://www.theadvocate.com.au//death-of-our-beloved-pet/

05.01.2022 Where would we be without animals in our lives?!

04.01.2022 Anticipatory Grief. The biggest question on your mind may be, How will I cope without my beloved pet? Here are some suggestions for this truly difficult time... 1. ... Sit with your feelings: If you need to be with someone, reach out to your friends and family, if possible. Even via telephone or online. They may be able to help on a practical and emotional level. 2. Plan ahead: Knowing that the end of your beloved pet’s life is approaching presents the opportunity however unwelcome - to plan in advance with end of life matters. 3. Talk to your vet: As much as we would all like our pets to pass peacefully and painlessly in their sleep at a great age, this is not always the case. Euthanasia can be considered to prevent unnecessary pain and suffering. 4. Take lots of pictures and videos: As well as taking pictures of your pet doing what they love or with the people closest to them, you may one day take pleasure from photos that show a close up of your pet’s paws or their special markings or the shape of their nose. These little personal details can bring precious memories flooding back. If you need support, reach out via this Page to make an appointment, or join the Private Group Heavenly Pets attached to this Page to not only receive support but to offer your support to others when you are ready.

02.01.2022 #poemoftheday #memoriesofyou #alwaysbymyside A bridge called love. It takes us back to brighter years,... to happier sunlit days and to precious moments that will be with us always. And these fond recollections are treasured in the heart to bring us always close to those from whom we had to part. There is a bridge of memories from Earth to Heaven above It keeps our dear ones near us It’s the bridge that we call love. Unknown.

01.01.2022 The loss of a pet isn't necessarily regarded as worthy of grief in our society. I am here to let you know that if you are facing the loss of, or have already lost a beloved pet and you are feeling sad or anxious etc. it is okay to feel as you do. Don't let your pain be minimised. So what then do we do with the overwhelming pain that can come as a result of losing a pet.? That looks different for everyone. Sometimes it is just best to ask ourselves; what's next? This may loo...k like putting one foot in front of the other at this time. What's next? Today I might walk outside and look at the sky and take a big deep breath. What's next? Making a healthy meal. What's next? Making it through the pet food aisle without completely losing it (I've been there before). What's next? A nap. What's next? Pay bills (day to day life doesn't stop). What's next? What can help me today when I'm grieving the devastating loss of my beloved pet? What's next for you?
