I know what it is to get stuck on one detail.

For me, it was the things that seemed completely normal at the time. The things I only understood differently because I knew what happened afterwards.

That is what guilt can do after losing a pet. It takes what you know now and carries it back into a day when you didn’t know it yet.

And then the questions start.

Why didn’t I notice?
Why did I wait?
Why did I make that decision?
Why didn’t I do something differently?

I made the Pet Loss Guilt & Grief Workbook because I needed something more useful than being told not to blame myself.

Sometimes there is nothing to forgive. Sometimes there is something you genuinely wish you had done differently. Most of the time, the truth is far more complicated than the sentence you have been punishing yourself with.

The new Pet Loss Guilt & Grief Digital Bundle gives you somewhere to work through that properly.

It includes the complete 235-page workbook, a 125-page printable companion writing journal with all 22 guided exercises, a 46-page guilt guide for the days when the whole workbook feels like too much, and A Gentler Thought, an interactive five-stage tool for working through the one thought you keep returning to.

The complete digital bundle is £12.99 and available through the link in my bio.

And if you cannot buy anything right now, the free guilt guide is there too. I want you to have somewhere to start. 🤎
