| Video Discription | What you will learn in this video: Have you ever known anybody who got really upset when their pet died? How silly is that? And on top of that it's just plain embarrassing. I am of course being facetious. I am a grief and loss counsellor for pet owners. Clients often test the waters with me, even once they have made the step to come and talk to me. I see the pain they are in because of the love they had and still have for their pet friend. By the way the two are inextricably linked like a thick wisteria vine – pain is the flipside of love. Often people start with "You must think I'm really stupid being so upset about a dog/cat/bird/lizard/horse etc" This is what I'm referring to when I say they are testing the waters. They tell me they feel embarrassed about their grief. I can sense this in a palpable way. The embarrassment is like a cloud that hovers over them from the moment I meet them at the front door. It follows them into the counselling room and envelops them as they are seated. Instead of trying to ignore the cloud, flail madly at the cloud to shoo it away, or tell them there is no cloud I do something a bit weird. If they tell me specifically they feel embarrassed I will reassure them this is totally normal. I might say something like "It makes sense you feel embarrassed. Not because your loss isn't real or valid, but because society has taught you from a very young age and ever since, that grief should only be allowed in certain circumstances." I am very saddened by the guilt many pet owners feel on top of their grief. It's a double whammy. It's like society has an unspoken law, "Right, you can cry a little bit about your pet but I don't want you going on and on about it for days." It seems if people are upset for more than a couple of days someone wants to hit them over the head with a DSM 5,089. I find people are very relieved to be reassured about feeling embarrassed. The cloud settles, even smiles and they smile as well. We can then continue on as I encourage them to give a voice to other emotions that are silently screaming for recognition. Stay tuned for lots more on pet loss. This is my first instalment!
