Pet Loss Support:
Caring Conversations
Are you navigating the emotional journey of your pet's end-of-life?
Looking for resources or information to assist you?
Grieving the passing of your beloved animal?
Want to share stories about your animal with a compassionate listener?
Experience the healing power of a Caring Conversation.
Your story matters. Your animal matters. You matter.
What is It?
The physical death of a beloved animal is one of the most painful things we can experience.
As much as our human family and friends love and care for us, sometimes they don't understand the depth of our love for our animal, the important decisions we are making as our animal's health declines, and the pain and grief we feel after their passing.
If you would like to talk with someone who understands this type of pain and can bear witness to the special love you have for your animal, I would be honored to hear your story. Whether you want to talk about your journey with your pet after they received a terminal diagnosis and your plans for the remaining time you have together or share your grief after their passing, I am here to offer a listening ear and space for you to share what is in your heart. If you are looking for information and resources to assist you on your journey, such as ideas for honoring your pet, I can help.
Session Format

Zoom call (with or without video, your preference); you may request a recording of the call if you wish for personal and private use

What My Clients Say
“Cathy held the most beautiful space in which I was able to share my loving memories of my wonderful dog, Dibs. It was really lovely for me to connect with those memories and smile and laugh at some of the funny antics Dibs got up to. It was a very heart opening experience for me, and it really honoured me as a pet owner, and Dibs as my lovely dog. Really it was about my relationship with Dibs and her relationship with my family and friends. I would totally recommend it. It really honoured her memory. Thank you so much Cathy.”
~ Julie
“Working with Cathy is a unique experience as she has the true gift of identifying and connecting with animals. She helps with grief, regret, heartbreak and helps both humans and animals. She is an authentic guide when it comes to animals and loss. Thank you for being so patient and caring for both my pets and myself. I appreciated the freedom to speak honestly and freely about our losses and being authentically listened to.”
~ Christine
“Cathy is so kind and caring. She helped to create a comforting space for me to express myself and my emotions regarding the passing of my dog. Speaking with Cathy is like speaking to a cherished friend.
I benefited more than I thought I needed to. I hadn't realized how many of my emotions I hadn't expressed or worked through yet.
Speaking to Cathy was both comforting and cathartic.
I will cherish the time we spent together.”
