So does anyone have any experience in animal loss support? Thinking about looking into it given today. I saw a therapist for 3 months over my mom's passing and she helped me a bunch.

Pretty sure the counseling center I get my meds filled at offers therapy too and I have medicaid (for now, until it gets cut under Trump).

  • If the therapist that helped you after your mom's passing was good ask if she has any experience with helping people with animal loss. Might be good to go to someone you already know.

    • I'll search around tomorrow to see if she ever set up a practice around here. It was in rehab I saw her, I got special grief counseling because my mom had just died.

      • To follow on to this, I just asked my partner who is a therapist and they had the same advice. They pointed out that a therapist often knows the resources in your area that will be able to help. For example, in my area, my partner was able to recommend several resources and therapy groups over animal companion loss. If your former therapist isn't able to help, they should be able to point you to resources that can help you.

        I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. I mainly lurk around these parts but your post brought me to tears.
