I needed to share some stuff with you, straight from my heart, on pet loss and grief. A bit of a beef, but more just some heartfelt words, from me to you.
I’m not sure about you but one of the things I really like to ascertain when working with someone or learning from someone is “have they done this?” Nothing frustrates me more when someone tries to teach me something, or share with me something, and it’s all stuff they’ve read or gathered the information in some other format other than practical experience. I wanna know… did you DO what you are teaching me about? I mean… did you ACTUALLY perform those tasks!?
Whew. Okay, I got it off my chest. And, maybe this whole message is self-serving, but I want the best for YOU when it comes to YOUR learning in the discipline of pet loss and grief support services. From working directly with families, to running a pet loss business. Don’t you think you deserve it: to learn from someone who has walked a mile (hell… thousands upon thousands upon thousands of miles!) in those shoes!
Don’t get me wrong, I believe there is some nuggets to learn from anyone. Sometimes it’s what not to do, but nonetheless it’s a learning nugget! I think that’s why I put so much time, energy and passion into the Pet Loss & Grief Companioning classes I teach and have put together for my on-line learning. By the way, I’m not sure about you, but I am so, so, so, so ready to get back to some in-person learning. THAT’S when the real learning takes place: hearing from others and what their experiences have been, their best practices, and their “wow, I’ll never do that again!” moments! I love that!
But I digress! So, with all of that, I wanted to send a personal invitation to you to check out my on-line learning with a focus on Pet Loss & Grief, from supporting families to running a business, to creating experiences when it comes to pet loss. I put my heart and soul into these, for YOU. After all, I think it’s what YOU deserve is to learn these practical lessons from someone who can then share in a call with you and know what you are dealing with. After all, I’ve been there too!
I was so excited when I got this review today from a new guest to my Pet Loss & Grief classes: “I have never had an Instructor with a more meaningful intro to their course and actually be into what they are preaching! Amazing! I cannot wait to get started!”
Actually, made me smile, with a tear in my eye!
I hope you’ll join me and check out my sessions! Let’s do this, together. For the families who need us and need a bit of light in their dark. To make it easy for you, as that’s how I role, here’s the link: https://twoheartspetlosscenter.thinkific.com/collections?page=1
Dear Coleen,
I HEAR YOU- it frustrates the hell out of me also when someone ” bangs on about little they know “.. its as if they are ONLY in it for the money ! Its akin to a Journalist taking a “Polished Press Release” full of words and spin and that Jouno not calling to question- interview or even going and checking for themselves – I mean WHY spread rubbish unless you have lived it, seen it, touched it, visited, interrogated even..
For years it was print what was given – and never ” let the truth get in the way of a good story “.. and these days its so much better with the internet and social media ready to bring the house down if you step out of line.
Sadly- I have seen published press released promoting B.S. and services in the Pet Cremation Service Industry where what was written Vs- what was “happening” being two entirely different things – the good Ol Argument of those words Private Vs- Individual… to the grieving stressed-strained, wiped out Pet Parent at a critical time- it means the same thing ! – and we know its NOT the same thing !
18 Years ago I was danced of a Pet Cremation Service providers property at pistol point and told to go break a leg when we uncovered and exposed his scam to the Vets and Pet Parents – mind you it has al come a long way in the past 20 Years – and so it should have- standing by watch the ” Fox guard The Hen House ” and hide behind an Association banner was just WRONG ! – who was check who ?
Understanding as good as most- the sheer power of the Human Animal Bond -s clearly going to hurt when the clock must sadly stop – and its all equal to the amount and volume of LOVE GIVEN – its a direct link to the VOLUME of pain pending – NO Up and Over it- NO Down and Under it – we are going through it like it or not – and you – Two Hearts and Folks like you Coleen are just pure Angels.
Thank you Coleen for your obvious passion for what you do to help Folks and Pet Parents when they are fighting at their lowest point for help, understanding, caring and TRUE EMPATHY with SOUL.
Sincerely,
Mark.
Thank you, Mark, for weighing in! Sounds like we are very much on the same page! Love it! Thank YOU for your passion! Let’s continue to fight the good fight and stand for what is right and good!
