PET LOSS RESOURCES

PET LOSS RESOURCES

Our relationships with animal companions are mutually beneficial. They help make us the best versions of ourselves. We keep them safe and healthy. The love is true, the friendship deep, the hilarity endless, the letting go so hard.

Eventually the day each of us dreads will come. It’s time to let the best boy, or the best girl, go. You don’t know how to say goodbye. How could you? But you can. You will.

Claire Chew’s Modern Pet Loss program will give you the tools to navigate through your pain, whether the animal you love is ill, old or already over the Rainbow Bridge. Our self-guided support program can be done on your time, in your time.

When you are ready, we are here. Below are some resources to help you begin.[/vc_column_text]

Healing Hearts and Paws- A Self-Guided Pet Loss Support Program

I created a self-guided pet loss program for all of the pet lovers who’ve called over the years seeking pet loss support in their hometown.

Some grieving pet owners shared that they wished there was a pet loss support group in their area. Others were unable to now get help for themselves due to the mounting debt from veterinary bills accumulated while trying to save their pet. And there were those who were too foggy to decipher where they were in their grief process.

I’ve taken some of the most successful tools I use in my life transition coaching practice and translated it into Healing Hearts and Paws, a practical self-guided pet loss support program divided into 27 lessons.

Each lesson begins with a daily thought/affirmation followed by a topic of the day that honors the love you have for your pet. There is an action step you can take, from journaling prompts to guided meditations. To find out more information, please visit: https://healing-hearts-and-paws.teachable.com/p/healing-hearts-and-paws
