Support Groups and Counseling
The loss of a beloved pet doesn’t end when you say goodbye. Grief after losing a cherished companion can be overwhelming, and healing looks different for every family. While our role is to help provide a peaceful, compassionate in-home euthanasia experience, we know that the journey continues long afterward. If you find yourself struggling with pet loss or looking for additional grief support, we are honored to recommend the following resource.
Crystal Givens
Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist
When Crystal’s beloved soul dog, Zeus, died, well-meaning people told her, “You can always get another dog” and “At least he lived a long life.” Instead of bringing comfort, those words left her feeling unseen and alone in her grief.
Through her own healing journey after losing Zeus, Crystal discovered a passion for helping others navigate the pain of pet loss while honoring the unique bond they will always carry in their hearts. She understands that grief after the loss of a beloved pet is real and that no one should have to face it alone.
Crystal provides compassionate pet grief counseling and support through:
- Individual Pet Loss Support
- Small Group Sessions
- Virtual or In-Person Sessions
- Complimentary 20-Minute Consultation
