Pet . Therapy. Notes...
Because every pet has a TAIL to tell.
Welcome!
...to a safe place where we openly share about our relationships with our pets.
​​​
Those who have loved a pet understand the unique connection we share with them. When our pet leaves our lives, we lose not only their physical presence but a part of ourselves. We lose our source of unconditional love and support, the silent witness to the most personal moments of our lives, and the routine and structure that shaped our days.
​
​​​​​I believe in the power of writing to facilitate healing and keep your pet's memory alive. To release the painful thoughts running on repeat in your head. To understand your feelings. To document the minutia of their life before they slowly fade with time and details lose their clarity. To preserve your relationship.
​​
No experience necessary - these activities are messy by design, and I walk you through the process with writing prompts. If writing isn't your thing (or if it is and you want more ideas), you will also find a Show Your Story page that features creative strategies for processing loss and memorializing your pet.​​​​​
​
Grief can be isolating, and while everyone walks their unique journey, feelings often share universal themes. You are invited to share your work in this space. I have found that reading someone else's experience can reflect our own - the ones we couldn't attach words to, and we reach that "ah-ha" moment.
​​​​​​​​​​​
On this site, you will also find various resources for coping with different losses.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​Other important types of loss to acknowledge include a pet going missing, re-homing your beloved pet, traumatic loss, and behavioral issues impacting your relationship/complicated bonding. In this judgment-free zone, we talk about ALL the feelings. The good, the hard, the beauty, the joy, the humor, the pain.
​​​​​​​
Please reach out to share your pet's TAIL, or just to say hello!
xoxo, liz
