If you are looking for a way for you, or your family, or both to heal, then look no further. When you lose a beloved companion it's not always clear what you should do to manage the physical and emotional triggers that will surely surface. You spent a lot of time with your beloved pet, now that they are gone what adjustments do you and your family need to make?

Story
If you are struggling to process loss, pain, or grief from the last few years or the last few minutes, J.S. is an experienced and deeply empathetic listener and grief catcher who has held the pain and questions of thousands of patients. While social and cultural narratives about grief are dominated by "letting go, moving on, or turning the page" in his nearly decade of service as a chaplain at a major hospital with a designated level one trauma center J.S. understands firsthand how rushing or suppressing grief only adds a suffocating layer of pain on top of the original wound.
