Life Stages & Transitions
Saying Goodbye
Losing a pet is one of the most painful experiences a pet parent can face. This course gently explores the journey of saying goodbye — from anticipatory grief and recognising quality of life changes, through to understanding end-of-life options, finding grief support, and honouring your pet's memory. You are not alone in this.
