Why Pet Grief Hits So Hard
Losing a beloved pet can be heart-wrenching. Jean Alfieri, author, speaker, and pet loss grief coach, understands. Her rescue dog, Silly Sally, taught her how to grieve, remember, and celebrate the special bond we share with our pets. Having adopted older shelter dogs for decades, Alfieri had experi¬enced pet loss before, but when Sally passed, she returned to creative outlets to process her grief. Along the way, she was reminded of others facing a similar loss—single friends whose only family was a pet, parents helping a child grieve their first dog, and seniors or veterans who’d lost a comfort or therapy animal. To support grieving pet owners, Alfieri developed “21 Ways to Weather the Loss of a Pet,” a practical, heartfelt toolbox of ideas to help others navigate the pain of loss while honoring their pet’s memory. Her goal: to bring comfort and lightness by reminding us that love never ends— it simply changes form. Contact Jean Alfieri at (602) 397-1344: jalfieri@rtirguests.com
