Those profoundly and excessively bonded to their companion animals may need to speak to a Certified Pet Loss Grief Specialist (PLGS) to help them navigate the loss. There should be no shame in doing so.
The role of a PLGS is to guide us through the loss and to make us understand that the array of emotions one goes through after the loss is normal. There will also come a point, which is not time bound at all, when we will reach a resolution, to open our hearts once again to love and move forward to memorialize the departed companion animal.
Reach out to India’s first certified pet loss grief specialist, Dr. Kuhu Roy, write to her at info@bridgingrainbows.org, for a session to help you navigate the loss of a companion animal (homed or un-homed). She does not charge for the sessions. The service is in honour of her dog boss Butter, the one in the picture.
However, please note that this is not a service by a mental health professional, but by a trained pet loss grief specialist whose only role is to guide you through the loss of your companion animal. Any other mental health conditions or underlying distress factors that the loss of a companion animal may have triggered, do not come under the ambit of a pet loss grief specialist. Under such circumstances, it is advisable to consult a licensed mental health professional at the earliest.
