Jackie Smuckler, LMFT - Pet Loss Grief Counselor - Hermosa Beach, CA - Nationwide
Pets are a part of our every day lives and touch everyone in the family in a different way. They’re a part of our daily rituals, whether it be feeding or walking them, changing their litter box or snuggles on the couch at the end of our day. When death separates us from our pets, our daily life changes and we're left without the unconditional love we once had from our pet.
Unconditional love is one of the best feelings one can experience and when that love is gone, the loss can be devastating. The grief we feel over our pets is unique and can often feel worse than losing a human loved one. I can help you process the grief and support you through moving forward with your life while taking your pets love with you.
