Supporting you before, during, and after the loss of your beloved pet. Helping you find comfort and peace.

Jane

My connection and deep love for animals goes back as far as I can remember. Throughout the challenges in life, the one constant for me has been the companionship of a loving pet. Like you, my pets have been a life line to love and companionship. When my beloved pets died, or I had to make the decision to put them down, I had to battle back from the devastation and learn to live life without them.

I am here to support you on a journey I know all too well myself. Like me, you can move from the sorrow into a place of loving remembrance, where you embrace the goodness that your pet brought into your life without the constant feelings of sorrow, guilt or regret.

Jane Tucker, MA, ALSP: In 1999 I became a Certified Bereavement Counselor after the devastating loss of my Dad. Since 1997 I have been a member of the Agape International Spiritual Center in Los Angeles. At Agape, I studied under Reverend Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith and became a Licensed Practitioner in 2000. In 1999 I graduated from the University of Santa Monica (USM) with a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology. I returned to USM in 2010 to earn a certificate in Consciousness, Health and Healing. And in 2009, after the sudden loss of my sister Nancy, the death of my Mom, and the ending of a ten year relationship with the father of my son, I decided to further my studies and became certified in the Grief Recovery Method©.

So why focus specifically on Pet Loss? Good question. Up until now the focus of my Bereavement support work has been on the loss of a human loved one. A year ago our beloved parakeet Tweety Bird died very suddenly. My son and I were devastated. Like most folks who lose a pet, I was totally taken by surprise by how upset I was that this tiny little creature had died and that I was so devastated by the loss. Upon doing some research, I realized that the area of pet loss is an underserved area in grief recovery. And, given my lifelong love of animals I knew that I could understand and support people as they experience the loss of their pet. Hence, Healing Heart Pet Loss was founded!
