Data:
The session lasted 45 minutes. Client shared grief following the loss of their dog, stating, "It feels like a part of me is gone," and described the pet as a constant companion whose absence has left a void. Client expressed feelings of guilt, wondering if they could have done more for their dog during its final days. Therapist reassured client that their decisions were the best they could make at the time. Discussed how grief can be deeply felt after losing a pet and explored ways to honor the pet’s memory, such as creating a memory book or planting a tree. Client appeared uncertain about starting these projects but acknowledged they might help find peace. Emphasized the importance of allowing themselves to feel grief as part of the healing process.
Assessment:
Client is experiencing grief and guilt related to the loss of their dog, which aligns with the normal grieving process. Client engaged in discussion about honoring their pet’s memory and responded thoughtfully to interventions aimed at normalizing their feelings and exploring coping strategies. Progress is consistent with treatment goals related to processing grief and loss.

In today’s 45-minute session, the client shared their grief following the loss of their dog. They said, "It feels like a part of me is gone," explaining how their pet had been a constant companion for years and how its absence has left a void. We discussed how grief can be felt deeply after losing a pet, as pets often become family members. Client expressed feelings of guilt, wondering if they could have done more for their dog during its final days. We talked about how normal it is to question what could have been done differently, but I reassured them that they made the best decisions they could at the time.
We also explored ways to honor their pet’s memory, such as creating a memory book or planting a tree in their yard. The client seemed uncertain about starting these projects but agreed that it might help them find some peace. We discussed the importance of allowing themselves to feel the grief rather than suppressing it, as this is part of the healing process. Client’s homework is to reflect on their relationship with their pet and decide if they want to create a keepsake or ritual in memory. We’ll follow up next week to see how they’re managing their grief.
