Honoring the Special Bond: Exploring the Pet Loss Journey

Companion animals serve as vital family members, primary attachment figures, and sources of emotional support. When an animal dies, clients frequently navigate profound and disenfranchised grief. This presentation explores how companion animals and their roles shape a client’s family history, dynamics, and schemas. Moving beyond Kubler-Ross’s stages, it will examine other grief theories in addition to ways to honor and commemorate a client’s animal. Self-care strategies for both clients and clinicians will be discussed, and grief resources will be provided.
