Comment HOAGUIDE for my free anticipatory grief guide and share in the comments one of the biggest challenges about anticipatory grief 🧡 we hear you

02/09/2026

When that harsh voice starts, the one that says you failed, you should have known, you hurt them, there’s one question that might stop it:

“Would my beloved actually say this to me?”

And the answer is probably no.

Your beloved never spoke to you with cruelty. They didn’t blame you. They weren’t angry. They felt your love in every single choice you made for them.

So when you catch yourself spiraling into those thoughts, pause and ask: would my beloved talk to me this way? And if the answer is no, what would they say instead?

If you need support navigating these thoughts and your grief, I offer 1:1 sessions. Link in bio or DM me to learn more.

👇 What’s one thing your beloved would say to you right now?

☝🏽This, right here. ⁠
⁠
🌍️Unfortunately, pet loss grief is not widely acknowledged in our society as valid grief. ⁠
⁠
🧎🏽There will always be people in your life that won't be able to accept the significance of your pet loss grief. Even people who you feel close to might not understand the depth of your loss. ⁠
⁠
🚫Try to suppress the urge to defend your pet loss grief to those around you that don't understand. ⁠
⁠
💯Remember that the grief you feel over losing your beloved animal is 100% valid. ⁠
⁠
💕The connection you feel to your soul animal is organic and layered. The unconditional love, comfort, and support you share with your animal may be unmatched in any of your human to human relationships. ⁠
⁠
❤️‍🩹No wonder it is so painful to lose your beloved pet. ⁠
⁠
🫂Surrounded yourself with fellow pet lovers and truly supportive people as you move through your grief. Pulling away from unsupportive people may be helpful to you during fresh grief. ⁠

🔥 Not sometimes.
Not conditionally.
Not only when I was easy to love.

🥀 They loved me through silence, shutdown, spirals.
They never flinched at my pain.
They didn’t try to fix me.
They stayed.
That love lives in my body.
That loss does too.

🌪 If this grief feels “too big,” you are not broken.
You are remembering what it felt like to be safe.
You are missing the one who made you feel known.

🧠 It’s okay if this hurts more than any other grief. It’s okay if you feel like no one else understands. It’s okay if your world feels upside down.

🌈 As a pet loss grief counselor, I want you to know: you’re not grieving wrong.
You’re grieving something rare and sacred.
Something real.
Something that deserves this much space.

🕊 In what ways did your soulmate pet love you like no one else ever has?
You can name it here.
