Virtual Pet Loss Grief Support - Nationwide
Chances are, you made your way here because you are grieving the loss of a beloved pet. Or, maybe you are facing the harsh reality of end-of-life and consumed by anticipatory grief. I've been where you are now. Whatever your current situation is as a pet parent, you have decided you need support. You may be feeling completely overwhelmed and alone, and like no one around you understands. Grief around pets can be a very isolating experience. I am here to tell you that your feelings are normal and valid. I am glad you found me.
When we lose a human, there is usually a built-in support system. When we lose a pet, we typically have to seek out that support system. I know because that was me. When we decide to open our heart and our home to a pet, we also set ourselves up for the inevitable heartbreak that comes with having to say goodbye to them. Choosing to give and to get the unconditional love of a pet comes at a cost that we can never really be prepared for.
WHAT MAKES ME QUALIFIED AND WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT:
I first started out as a general life coach in 2019. My difficult (and sometimes very dark) grief journey which began in 2022 is what led me to pursue additional training and change my business to pet loss support. This did not become a thought until the one-year anniversary of my dog Baci's passing, and it was only after I pursued various types of support for myself. I like to think Baci's death inspired a rebirth. I turned my pain into purpose and I am passionate about being the kind of support I wished I had and desperately needed. And while education is great, what makes me most equipped to help you is my personal experience with this type of love and this type of loss. I pride myself on my ability to actively listen, to connect with people from a wide variety of backgrounds, and have a keen understanding of the human/animal bond. In addition to giving your grief a voice, I want to give you hope. While it takes time, learning to move forward with your grief is possible. I am living proof that grief and gratitude can coexist.
What makes me different is how quickly I will respond to you. If you reach out to me, you will hear back from me within a few hours. And if you are looking for a 1:1 session, I will do my best to accommodate you in as little as 24 hours.

- Jennifer M💙 There are moments in the grief process when what you need most is simply to be heard by someone who truly understands — someone who knows that the loss of a pet is not a small thing, that the silence in the home is real, and that what you are carrying deserves the same compassion and attention as any profound loss. That is what Crystal offers.
What Crystal Can Help You With
Pet loss grief arrives differently for everyone — and Crystal works with each client according to where they are in their own process, without a fixed agenda or a predetermined timeline. Sessions with Crystal typically address processing the immediate emotional aftermath of losing a pet, navigating anticipatory grief for those preparing to say goodbye to an aging or seriously ill companion, working through guilt and doubt around end-of-life decisions including euthanasia, finding meaningful and personal ways to honor your pet's memory, adjusting to a daily routine that has been fundamentally altered by their absence, and helping other family members — including children and surviving pets — move through the loss in their own way. If you are not sure exactly what you need, that is completely normal. Crystal 's first session is designed to help you find that out together.
Why Book With Crystal
Choosing the right person to help you through pet loss is a deeply personal decision — and the most important thing is finding someone whose presence feels safe and whose approach feels right for you. Crystal brings verified credentials, real client experience, and a genuine understanding of the human-animal bond to every session. Because sessions are conducted virtually, there is no commute, no waiting room, and no need to hold yourself together in a clinical setting — you can show up exactly as you are, from the place where you feel closest to your pet's memory. Crystal serves clients throughout Connecticut and is available to anyone nationwide through PetWorks.
