The Pet Loss Wayfinder

Grief and love and two sides of the same coin 🏮

We’re hurting because we care. Our relationship with our pets is beyond special. It’s a lifetime connection.

That relationship doesn’t end with death and neither do you.

Love remains. It reappears time and time again.

Look for it in everything you do - it isn’t far away 🏮

Your grief is never too much 🏮

We tend to bend, twist and contort in order to fit in with other’s expectations of our grief journey.

Society has created this hierarchy of grief. We’re here to put an end to it.

It starts with me, you and everyone else walking the delicate, lonely path of disenfranchised grief.

I wear mine like a badge of honour; a shining beacon which forever represents my love 🏮

We can’t replace the irreplaceable. It’s not about that 🏮

I answer a question about new pets and the challenges associated with opening up our hearts and homes again 🏮

Pet grief is a whole-body experience 🏮

In this reel, extracted from my recent Instagram Live session, I briefly touch upon how normal and natural it is to experience physical symptoms throughout your grief journey.

Can you relate to this? 🏮

What made your heart pet that one special being? 🏮

Until you’ve gone through the pain of pet loss, you don’t know what it’s like for your routine to become your reminder 🏮

The walks you no longer take.
The bowls you no longer fill.
The leash that stays on the hook.

Grief isn’t just a feeling; it’s the sudden absence of the life you built together 🏮
