You're Not Crazy for Grieving This Deeply
No one else knows how it feels to lose a piece of your heart...
It can feel like you'll never recover from this loss. Like no one understands the depth of what you're going through. Like you should be "over it" by now.
But what if... what if you could find a way to honor the life you shared while actually healing your heart?
I know that feels impossible right now. But I promise - it can happen.
What if you could maintain that powerful connection with your pet even though they're not here physically? What if there was a path through this grief that didn't require you to "get over" them, but instead helped you carry their love forward?
I'm a Pet Loss Educator and Grief Counselor who's been exactly where you are right now. I'm passionate about helping pet parents heal from loss, and it's become my mission to make real pet loss support accessible to everyone who needs it. This all started in 2003 when I said goodbye to my soul dog Sophie. That devastating loss led me back to grad school for a Masters in Psychology, plus grief coaching and compassion fatigue certifications. Our work has been featured in...
But more than credentials or press coverage, I began talking to people just like you. Everyday pet parents who wanted the same thing: to make sense of this deep loss and find a way through it.
I created this program to give you the support I desperately wished I had when I was first grieving Sophie. I know she didn't want me to suffer forever in my grief - just like your pet doesn't want you to suffer. They want you to take care of yourself with the same love and devotion you gave them.
Healing Hearts and Paws was created from that love. It's time for you to care for yourself now.
Why This Program Is Different
Most pet loss resources leave you with only two choices:
- Quick fixes - Free or brief programs that barely scratch the surface of the grief
- Suport without tools- Online forums or groups with a safe place to share but often no clear path on how to journey with the grief
The Only Complete 27-Day Healing Journey Designed Specifically for Pet Loss
Some current options
- Free support groups - Space space to share and be validated/acknowledged but often no structured healing path
- Group led session programs - $300-800, often limited support between sessions and set times to meet
- Individual counseling - $100-200+ per session, adding up to $1200+ for equivalent support
This program is provides almost a month of support, in the comforts of your own home, less than individual counseling, more structure than free groups, and more flexibility than group programs- all in one complete healing journey.
This Is the Program You Wish Existed
One that understands your unique pain, meets you where you are, and gently guides you toward healing without rushing or minimizing your loss.
It's not about "getting over" your pet. It's about learning to carry their love forward while rebuilding your life.
Our pet loss program offers this combination of depth, practicality, genuine understanding, and exceptional value designed specifically for hearts like yours.

Whether it’s been a month or a year since the loss, the series of 28 lessons is timeless, encouraging the reader to revisit topics for healing when they are missing their animal companion.

"As soon as I read the very first email, I knew that Claire had such a COMPASSIONATE understanding of pet loss. It was very clear that Claire has experienced pet loss on a personal level. The course was a daily reminder that what I was feeling was NORMAL. There was a beautiful caring feel to the emails filled with compassion, love, understanding, and most of all – a desire to help ease the pain I was feeling. I loved having the option of reading or listening to the audio. This is a wonderfully gentle and affordable way to journey through pet loss in the comfort of your own home."
- Andrea Bryant, New Zealand
"This journey with your coaching was a great positive experience for me. Some days we worked through some difficult subjects, other days your words just opened up a window and a new way of seeing things. What helped at first was to be able to dedicate a few minutes to me and my pain. I looked forward to your daily emails and was happy to take this personal time to work on my feelings, emotions and thoughts."

Welcome to Healing Hearts and Paws
A Self-Guided Pet Loss Support Program
What Makes This Program Special
I created this for all the pet parents who've reached out over the years - some with fresh heartache, others still missing their pet years later. The number one challenge I heard was always the same: "I want to move through this pain, but I don't know how."
Many shared they wished there was a pet loss support group in their area. Others couldn't afford help after mounting vet bills from trying to save their pet. Some were too overwhelmed to even know where to start.
I wanted to create something that could be available to everyone, whenever they need it.
How It Works
27 lessons delivered across 4 healing modules:
Module 1: Healing with an Open Heart - Learn to be gentle with yourself and open to love alongside grief
Module 2: Your Pet's Wisdom - Discover what your pet taught you about self-care, receiving support, and being present
Module 3: Healing the Past - Work through anger, guilt, denial, and other complex emotions
Module 4: Creating a New Future - Build new rituals, find support, and move forward while honoring their memory
Each lesson includes:
- A gentle daily focus (not overwhelming affirmations)
- Compassionate guidance that understands pet loss specifically

Thank you for sharing this program with animal owners going through pet loss. In my work in acupressure for animals, I encounter so many people going through this grief process. It is such a deep feeling of loss and there are so few resources that really help people through the healing. Your program is exactly what people need. It is clear, kind and thorough. It never dismisses the depths of emotion that the user is feeling and gives them truly profound tools for moving through these difficult times. I think one of the hardest things for people is feeling that the people around them don’t understand the intensity of the emotions they are feeling. So many people tell them “It was just a pet! Aren’t you over it yet?”. Your program takes them by the hand and leads them through the healing process so that they CAN get to the other side of their grief in simple, thoughtful ways. It is as if you are really with them every day through the process. This is a huge gift and I know it will help so many people with its caring voice and its simple kind exercises and meditations.
Susan Tenney, Elemental Acupressure
As a student of yoga and mediation for over 20 years I was transfixed by the clarity and effectiveness of Claire’s teachings around grief and healing. She is a compassionate teacher and her writings are thoughtful and full of self knowledge; you just get that Claire has the life experience to speak authoritatively on this subject. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who is in need of healing from the experience losing of their beloved pet.
