Feng Shui for the Loss of a Pet

“What does feng fhui have to do with grief?” you might ask. “I thought it was about decorating.” While it’s true that feng shui is known as the art of harmonious placement and is often applied to design, décor and architecture, it is also a healing art. That healing element is what drew me to this profession in the first place.

It has always been important to me that my work helps to transform lives, and feng shui has allowed me to do just that. The two Chinese characters Feng and Shui mean Wind and Water, two elements in nature that flow. Water you can see, but not wind; still, we need both. This is the yin and yang of life. Feng shui is about being in harmony with nature and also with yourself. Grief and sadness are common, natural human emotions during difficult times, but restoring some balance after any painful experience is essential to living a happy life. Staying sad and lost in grief is not moving with the flow of life, and failing to get past those emotions can keep us stagnant and blocked. This, in turn, can lead to illnesses both physical and mental.

My own experience with the loss of something very dear to me brought me to this awareness, and after finding my own way past the pain and grief, I would like to share it with you.

You will find this book to be about much more than just the grief that occurs after the loss of a pet. My intention is to help you cope with the grief you feel after the loss of anyone or anything that was once so close to your heart. This is the story of my journey and how the art of feng shui helped me through it all.

Here is how my story began.
