Anticipatory Grief Support for Pet Parents
Anticipatory grief is real.
You’re not alone in feeling it. Whether your beloved pet has been diagnosed with a terminal illness or is simply showing signs of aging, the fear of losing them can weigh heavily on your heart and mind. Many pet parents experience this quiet, ongoing grief without ever realizing there’s a name for it—or support available.
Why Pet Loss Grief Is So Deep—and So Often Overlooked
The bond we share with our pets is pure, unconditional, and deeply personal. They’re our daily companions, our comfort, our family. When they pass, the grief can be as profound as losing a human loved one—but many pet parents are made to feel like they should just “move on.”
What You Might Be Feeling Right Now (And Why That’s Okay)
All of that is normal. And all of that is valid.
Grief doesn’t follow a straight path—and healing looks different for everyone. Our job is to walk beside you and help you find your way forward, with compassion and care.

Why pet parents love our pet loss community…
I honestly don’t know what I would do without PLC and Dr. Lawlor, Dr. Lippman and Dr. Tarantino. I lost both of my dogs within 2 months. Noone really understood what I was going through. I spent the first month feeling numb to everything and with the private sessions that we’ve had, I am finally starting to understand and heal.
