“I lost my dear, dear little friend and companion of 19 years last month. He was my inspiration for so many things in life and was a gift of light and love to me. I was devastated, to say the least, when he passed away. I felt like I was literally drowning in sorrow and that the best part of me had died with him.

I ordered this book within days of his passing I have to say that reading it was an amazing healing balm for my emotions and my soul.

Marianne gently guides you through your grief step by step. She suggests simple exercises to help you through your sorrow, feelings of guilt or whatever other emotions you are experiencing. There is also a chapter on how to cope with the Holidays and another on how to help your children deal with the loss, as well.

Don’t expect a quick ‘band-aid’ type of fix. The healing will come. (I still refer to this book almost every day.) The loss will always be felt but it will be with a different perspective and with the healing words and techniques found within the pages of this book, hopefully a positive one.

I highly recommend it.”

“After losing my dearest animal companions within a year of each other, my love for them still continued to grow, only now into despair. I couldn’t center myself in the void their passing created. From Grief to Gratitude After Pet Loss offered the focus I needed to create my own place to bring my continued grief; my own sacred space within my heart in my own time. The guidance of the author thru her own experiences sets up a personal workshop within the pages, offering gentle lessons throughout the chapters on how to reconnect to my departed companions. Marianne Soucy shares her graceful meditations into a communion with animal spirit. These messages have affected me profoundly as I realized that grief had separated me away from myself. From Grief to Gratitude After Pet Loss offers easy exercises for the complicated healing that is so personal to each reader. This book offered me a direction towards acceptance. With Marianne Soucy’s focus on gratitude, she helped me to open up a reconnection to my best companions, back into my heart space that had been so sadly broken, back to the place they never left. ~Elise Hoy”

Marianne, Thank you so much for the insight on how to understand the passing of our loved ones. My beautiful cat Kiki passed away on the 17th of January. She was only 8 but was a Diabetic.

Audio: Reflections on Pet Loss Guilt: An important shift that can help you heal

I am Marianne Soucy, founder of Healing Pet Loss, author, pet loss guide, and host of the Healing Pet Loss Podcast.

There’s one thing I have noticed that many pet owners who are struggling with guilt after pet loss have in common, and that is that they are stuck in their mind rather than centered in their heart. Thoughts like ‘If only I hadn’t done this, my pet would still be alive’, or one of the many other common beliefs that like a broken record keep playing over and over in their head. And it is painful, because it feels like there’s no way out of it.

In my many years of connecting with animals that are alive and animals in the afterlife, I have found that it is especially in and through the heart that we best connect with our animal friends, whether they are alive or have passed. So what can really be of help and bring comfort when guilt is overwhelming you, is to make the shift from mind to heart.

In this reflection / meditation audio I will focus on making the shift from mind to heart.
