Testimonials For Pet Loss Support Groups
I had a very difficult time following the loss of my dog. Traditional counseling didn't seem to help. After a lot of searching online, I found TGRM specifically for pet loss. I am so grateful for this resource and wish I had known about it earlier in life. I think every veterinarian office should have information on this incredible resource.

The book was helpful but without the facilitators it would not have helped me with my grief. I found the homework challenging but it was what helped me to create my letter to Banjo and provide me with some closure. Thank you

The grief recovery method navigated and supported a journey I had to take from pet carer to pet loss. It gave me the strength to hold difficult conversations and make decisions that needed to be made, although heartbreaking and painful. It allowed me to more fully embrace to support and kindness from friends, family and colleagues and make positive steps to remember my dog in happier times.

Ingrid was empathic, honest and warm from the first session which made it easy for me to talk about the loss of my beloved dog. The specific pet loss programme made me feel that my grief was as valid as anyone else's which was a huge relief. Not ever having been taught about grief meant I knew very little but with the skills I have learnt I believe I can transfer some of those to any future loss. The homework including looking back over all the major events in my dog's life has given me a greater perspective and allowed me to feel much calmer about losing him but more importantly it has given me the ability to remember and treasure his memory moving forward. I can't thank Ingrid (or the programme) enough she was excellent.

ANDI METZLER will always be one of the most important people in my life. She changed grief and horror into a loving experience. It was nothing short of a miracle. While the method is INCREDIBLE and I recommend it to EVERYONE - Andi is a God send and an angel to many. What a true treasure. If anyone has the chance to work with Andi - RUN, do not walk, to get to her! She will change your life for the better. You will have far more sweetness, joy and peace than you ever could have imagined.

After my beloved dog died, I was lost. I struggled to make it through the day and each moment I was on the verge of tears and collapse. My heart was broken and no one really cared because it was "Just a dog'. I was on facebook one evening and an ad came up about pet loss being as real as people loss with grief. I felt like it was there especially for me. I clicked on it and was taken to a facebook page where it was filled with kindness and so gentle. I messaged Lorri and we met on Zoom to talk about the program. I was so desperate I decided to give it a try. We met in person for the 6 weeks and she was there for me when ever I needed help or support. Were there tears? Yes there were many but as the weeks went on the tears felt different. I learned that tears are okay and with Lorri was a safe space to let them fall. I am so proud that I finished this program and have healed my heart! I still miss Luna, my beloved baby girl, but I am able to talk about her without all the pain I felt before. I am forever grateful. Lorri also told me about the podcast her and a colleague do and each new episode I am filled with hope. I am looking forward to attending an 8 week program this fall to start healing my heart on the many other losses I have. Thank you Grief Recovery Method and thank you Lorri for your kind gentle heart.xo

I found the Grief Recover program extremely helpful in processing the loss of several pets. The online format was clean and easy to follow. I complete the Pet Grief Recovery program with tools that I will definitely use in the future. At times I got impatient with the steps, but I found following the directions was really effective.

Although I am still sad at the loss of my dog Julie I have an understanding now of what I'm going through and am getting better every day. I would highly recommend it to anyone going through the loss of a pet or loved one and you couldn't have a better person to help you through this than Eric Van Fossen at Balanced Perceptions. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The Pet Loss Program has helped me move on from the death of my cat. I can now think and talk about her without falling to pieces. I have been able to get my life back on track. I will be signing up for the regular Grief Recovery Method soon and I will be sharing with everyone I know.

The Pet Loss Grief program helped me work through my issues with the death of Lab, Mollie. She was my best friend and I still miss her but now I only remember happy memories.

I thought the loss of my dog was my true problem, but it was because of my dog, Molly, and losing my husband to cancer. Taylor helped me understand my grief and was a shoulder to cry on and never treated me as a "crazy old lady." I even started working with her on dealing with my husband's death. I never visited his grave after the funeral, but when I felt strong enough to I asked Taylor to go with me and she did (she was the director that helped with his funeral) she even remembered he loved deer hunting and brought a small deer figurine to put on his grave.

This program has really helped me with learning to healthily grieve over the loss of a very close pet, and in the process how to identify and understand different losses in my life in general that have intertwined with my grief for this pet. I would really suggest this to other people even if they don't think they might need it it let me see how people told me to grieve rather than how I really needed to personally grieve.

This program was outstanding and was just what I needed at this time. It was such an impactful experience for me, I am seriously thinking of getting the training to become a certified trainer.
