The Shadowed Grief

Pet loss support with Yoga therapy

Over the years I have come to learn about death. About ritual. Creating meaning. Remembering. It has been extremely meaningful to work with folks walking this path of pet loss and grief after losing my own young dog.

  • Maybe your pet has passed.

  • Maybe you anticipate the day.

  • Maybe there is an anxiety you are experiencing around your pet’s health.

I want to hear your story. Learn their name.

Please note due to Covid-19 and the safety of all individuals, sessions are currently being held online through Zoom.

“Yoga therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of Yoga.” —International Association of Yoga Therapy

“Yoga therapy is a self-empowering process, where the care-seeker, with the help of the Yoga therapist, implements a personalized and evolving Yoga practice, that not only addresses the illness in a multi-dimensional manner, but also aims to alleviate his/her suffering in a progressive, non-invasive and complementary manner. Depending upon the nature of the illness, Yoga therapy can not only be preventative or curative, but also serve a means to manage the illness, or facilitate healing in the person at all levels.” — TKV Desikachar & Kausthub Desikachar

The story of the name

“The Shadowed Grief” comes from my lived experience and walks with others who have been experiencing a unique loneliness in pet loss and grief. I have found this specific type of grief can be quite shadowed in society. Less acknowledged, sometimes. There is no such thing as a pet bereavement day to take at work. There is less of a universal understanding, as it does not necessarily touch all people. Pet loss & grief might be found a little more in the shadows. This work has, of course, been inspired by my love, the life and the death of my own young dog, Shadow.
