Despite the overwhelming feelings you are experiencing, there is in fact good news. You are not abnormal and you are not alone.

Pet loss is often devastating. Your pet may have died unexpectedly, undergone a long illness, suffered an accident, or simply disappeared. But whatever the case, you are certainly experiencing a wide range of distressing thoughts and strong emotion that may at times seem unbearable. You are experiencing true Grief.

While each Grief Journey is as unique as the individuals involved and the animals they love, it is vital to have some sort of roadmap to help you walk this path with as much support as possible- both from others and within yourself.

Pets give us unconditional love, but it is a sad fact that our current culture at large treats Pet Loss as something to be 'gotten over' because it was 'only an animal'. Far too many people fail to understand the deep bond that can occur between humans and their companion animals. In fact, for many people, the loss of beloved pet can actually be worse than what they experience from the death of a family member. But our society neither recognizes nor accepts this, making the grief journey even more lonely.

Join Marcia Breitenbach, Certified Professional Grief Counselor, and begin your healing journey.

Healing the Grief of Pet Loss in a new window.

Marcia is a mother, psychotherapist, author, teacher, and musician specializing in the field of grief and loss and utilization of the creative arts therapies in the healing process. She has gained great compassion and skills from experiencing life-changing losses as well as from working with others who are faced with difficult life challenges.

Marcia's work over the last 20 years in the field of death and dying and grief and loss has opened wonderful doors to her of healing and spiritual growth. People have asked Marcia over the years, 'How can you do such work, isn't it totally depressing?' She answers, 'Not at all, this work has changed my life by allowing me to have a deeper appreciation for each day that I am here, for all my blessings, and brings me great joy and satisfaction.'

Marcia grew and expanded her intuitive and holistic therapeutic style over many years as Bereavement Coordinator for two hospices. She now conducts workshops and has a private practice that focuses on change, grief, loss, and transformation with special emphasis on those grieving the loss of a pet or other animal companion. She utilizes a whole person approach: strengthening, balancing and integrating spirit, mind, body and heart.
