Coping with the loss of a pet

Dealing with pet loss

 

Yesterday I worked with Kali, a sweet dog that had advanced cancer. Her mom had asked for my help to ease Kali’s pain.

This morning I learned that Kali had passed later in the evening. Even though I knew her only from a distance and for an extremely short amount of time, I felt tremendous grief. I hadn’t been asked to heal her or save her, only to make her more comfortable. Still… her passing feels so sad and unsettling.
