"STELLA ACT" Pet Grief Integration System

The "STELLA ACT" Pet Grief Integration System is a gentle, person-centred approach to pet grief, which utilises the effective approach of acceptance and commitment therapy.

You Are Worthy

When we're grieving our beloved pets, we often feel wracked with guilt and remorse. We struggle to be kind to ourselves.

I'll help you bring love home.

Disenfranchised Grief

Society has difficulty noticing and validating our pet grief. People put timelines and conditions upon us, which only serve to diminish our feelings.

I'll validate and normalise your emotions.

Grief is Normal

When we lose someone as precious as our pets, it's completely natural to grieve and experience waves of diverse emotions.

Together, we'll navigate the process.

Commit to Values

Through identifying values, those things which we hold dear to our hearts, we can commit to meaningful action, striving to be the person our pets knew and loved.

Maintain ongoing bonds.

The Human-Pet Bond

We'll take time to discuss the fine nuances of the human-pet bond and the unique stages of pet grief.

Gently Acknowledge

Grief acceptance and acknowledgement is so important to allow us to move forward.

Together, we'll talk about ways to mindfully come to terms with our new normal.
