Tom's mind body spirit approach to pet loss
Mind
A highly developed mind is a powerful tool and is what distinguishes us humans from the rest of the species on the planet. However, if left to its own devices and especially in high stress situations such as the loss of a beloved pet, we can easily get lost in our own thoughts of anger, guilt and sorrow which can reek havoc on our ability to function and heal. The good news is there are mindfulness techniques that can help get us out of our heads and bring us back to the the reality of the present moment which is where healing occurs and peace exists.
Body
The mind is connected to the body so its not surprising the significant impact the loss of our beloved companions can have on our physical well-being. When I lost Lucky I experienced headaches and body aches as if I had the flu! Although the root of these symptoms lies at the mental level as described above, it is also important that we be mindful of how we are taking care of our physical needs during the grieving process. It sounds pretty obvious but you would be surprised how often we forget to be compassionate with ourselves and our bodies during this excruciatingly difficult time.
Spirit
This is the transcendental dimension of our being that holds tremendous healing potential. Although it is not absolutely necessary to have some kind of spiritual belief system in order to heal from this devastating loss, my experience is that it significantly helps many on their healing journey and can be transformative. For those whom it resonates with, a deep journey into spirituality as a means to heal is something I offer in my program
