25.01.2022 Now, you know how I love a good pawprint Well, following on from my Zoo visit, you can purchase the Elephant Art. Foot prints and Nose prints! How cool!!

25.01.2022 I’ve written an article about this which I will release soon, but I thought I would share a story with you tonight. Bless my brother, he sent me a photo of the Christmas tree all fully decorated, with one special ornament on the tree. One year, he used his son’s hand print to make some Christmas art. So in return I made a clay print of Opie’s paw for their tree. (It’s a bit weathered!) ... I haven’t put my tree up... yet... I don’t know if I will. Please know, just like grieving, there are no have to, or, you must do ... If you can’t face putting the decorations up this year, that’s ok! No pressure! We are going into a very overwhelming time of a very crazy year! Take a breather and please don’t be hard on yourself. For now I will appreciate the beauty of my brother’s tree, until I feel ready to decorate my home this year xx

24.01.2022 Today, I met with a lovely lady who had lost a beloved dog. She was feeling anxious because the year anniversary of her loss is a few weeks away. I wrote an article last year but I would like to amend it slightly: ... A death anniversary isn’t exactly something you celebrate. You may re-live their final moments, which can often be painful. Like being stuck on the same frame of a horror movie... hoping for a different outcome. The year of the ‘firsts’ is particularly difficult. The first Christmas, Mother’s and Father’s Day, and other holidays that we used to celebrate with our pets. The first time I drove past the vet without you, or your favourite park. When you catch up with pet parents and they ask where you are... Your mind will undoubtedly be preoccupied with thoughts of your pet on their anniversary, so if you can, plan ahead. Take the day off work if you need to (did she really say that?) Yes, yes, I did. If you are distracted, you can’t concentrate or focus on work tasks, so don’t feel ashamed about taking a self care day. What can you do on the anniversary day? Be around people who understand the depth of your loss. Do something that makes you feel closer to your pet. Have a ritual, light a candle, say a prayer or speak to them. Let them know how much you miss them. Hold their ashes or visit their resting place. Play a song that reminds you of them. Focus on the good memories, reminisce over photos and video. Write down your favourite memories in a journal Allow yourself to have a good cry. At the end of the day, do what you feel is right for you. Talking about them keeps their memory alive.

22.01.2022 Very much looking forward to the annual Vet Nursing Conference starting tomorrow... rescheduled... twice (thanks Rona) I will be up at the crack of Dawn (5am) to connect with other vet nurses from around the country and overseas! Very grateful that the Veterinary Nurses Council of Australia Inc. (VNCA), the volunteers have worked tirelessly to be able to offer the conference virtually instead of canceling it all together. ... 3 days of learning... bring it on

20.01.2022 Job satisfaction! This little guy was bought in to the clinic covered with Ticks. He looked very relieved after they were removed, he ate a strawberry and was released in bush land near my home. #bluetongue #bobtaillizard #aussieanimals

18.01.2022 I was reading through my Journal and thought I would share this entry with you all. ... I catch myself staring outside the kitchen window, knowing you are not in the yard, but expecting you to waltz through the door, wagging your tail and drooling over the floor. ...... #griefbrain #grieffog #griefbrainisreal #griefandloss #griefandlosssupport #petloss #petlossperth #petlosssupport #petlosssucks #petbereavement #petbereavementcounsellor See more

17.01.2022 Please let me know if you would like to attend

16.01.2022 Next weekend If you are learning to navigate life without your dog, cat, horse, rabbit, rat, ferret, or any other species of animal, you are more than welcome to attend. Our last session for the year

15.01.2022 G U I L T It’s one of those emotions that often (but not always) comes up when I’m talking to pet parents. I feel so guilty for.... ... The what if’s & if only’s circle around in ones mind. The definition of Guilt is the INTENT to cause harm. I’m pretty confident in saying that it was not your intention for you pet to become sick, run away, or have a terrible accident. Guilt also implies we should be punished. Isn’t the loss of our pet punishment enough? I have been struggling to find a different word for Guilt. I notice that when I’m taking about something, instead, I will say I feel terrible for... Please know you did EVERYTHING you could, with the information you had at the time. Please don’t blame yourself. You loved your pet dearly & they loved you back, with everything they had. Big hugs xx Tracey

12.01.2022 I had a slightly younger audience this afternoon. Thankyou to the years 5/6 at Maylands Peninsula Primary School. We talked about how all pets are awesome, how to look after them, and about safety around dogs. Thanks for having me

11.01.2022 Happy 8th birthday to my little rugrats Making themselves at home during a quick home Reno

10.01.2022 A year ago today I was very fortunate to be featured on TV. It is still very relevant I feel #petsarefamily

10.01.2022 I had my trusty sidekick helping with the Empathy Sessions at Passing Paws Pet Cremations today

09.01.2022 Trigger Warning. Tissues on standby Today I said goodbye to a very special girl. She is deeply loved by her parents and the staff at Morley Vetcentre. Everyone knew Miss Miki. ... From the kennel hands, the nurses and daycare staff, and of course the grooming girls, Miki will leave a hole in our hearts like no other. I think she sent me this video somehow. What a beautiful way to remember your fur kid. Much love to Lorraine and John Rest easy sweet girl xx

09.01.2022 Good to see animals back in the White House. Congratulations America

08.01.2022 It’s not just a saying. It’s ok not to feel ok all the time. Society tells us, Don’t cry, don’t be sad, take it on the chin, you will ‘get over it’. Think of the positives... ... All this does, is teaches us who NOT to talk to about what we are going through. Go easy on yourself. You don’t have to go this alone.

08.01.2022 I recently learned, thanks to Cole Imperi that the Daisy has a special meaning for those who have lost a child. Many of my followers, friends and colleagues speak about & treat their pets as their child. The Daisy represents cheerfulness and innocence, very much like what children and animals bring into our world. ... If you have lost someone special to you, I encourage you to look for Daisies. It could come in the form of a hair clip, or on a pattern of a dress or the flowers themselves

06.01.2022 Quoting Shelby Forsythia, Intuitive Grief Guide’s latest book,Your Grief, Your Way. No word of a lie, I woke up this morning, and made a mental note that it was getting easier to accept that you are gone. Of course I still miss you. For a few days (11 months on) I haven’t looked or searched for you. And then... I was looking for some unrelated videos and came across this gem. Baby Opie. a cute little video of him playing. A video I forgot I had, and haven’t watched for ...8 years! These bittersweet memories, Tears running down my face. Let them happen. Never apologise for your feelings. Pet people will get it

06.01.2022 Oh my heart Thankyou Vicki for sending me this, may Buster and Opie be best friends at the rainbow bridge

05.01.2022 Not everyone will understand.... and that’s OK. Support is here

05.01.2022 How Cute is this little pin?! I am going to wear it to all of my group and consult sessions @jessieirwinart

04.01.2022 Wendy is a fellow Pet Bereavement Counsellor in Scotland. She has just released an awesome little book with some great tips on how to Recover for the sadness of losing your everything. I would highly recommend grabbing a copy. It is available from Amazon or for your Kindle ... The Scottish Pet Bereavement Counselling Service See more

03.01.2022 I’m having ‘A Day’, A grief wave, a trigger, a lovely memory but it’s making me sad. Thanks Snapchat for the reminder!! Two years ago today, my happy boy and I had some amazing photos taken. ... Thanks Studio Noah Pet Photography and Video I am so grateful that I had these done. He was so playful and pain free then. Never in a million years did I think I would be without him. Love you Opie Dopey

01.01.2022 How cool would it be if you could Wear something (like a big neon sign) instead of having to explain to people... Sorry I don’t want to go, I’m feeling a bit ‘Griefy’ today Not a way to push people away, but to let people know to be kind and gentle. To let them know you are feeling fragile today...... This arrived today in my letterbox all the way from Cincinnati, USA from my favourite Thanatologist, Cole Imperi. Thanatology is the study of death and dying. Cole offers courses through the School of American Thanatology such as Thanabotany, and the one I completed last year to help support families with their impending loss. And side note, many people believe that we should wear black to show others we are in a mourning period, but did you know that Lilac is often worn by grievers, transitioning between full mourning and ‘regular life’.

01.01.2022 Today marks 9 years since my ‘fur brother’ Jake gained his wings. The dog that my mum didn’t really want, who ended up helping her through the darkest of times when my dad died in 2005. She has never remarried, and although she has thought about it, for many, valid reasons, has never adopted another dog. (She has grand dogs and cats ) ... The Grief Recovery method says you can Never Replace a Loss of a loved one. But this doesn’t mean you can never love again. Some people are very lucky and another pet comes into their life soon after, almost like divine timing. For Some, no matter how long they wait, the time is not quite right... myself included. I would like to think that Jake and my dad were reunited at the Rainbow Bridge, and they are welcoming all those beautiful souls, your pets, as they cross the bridge and run through the gates.
