Honoring the Human-Animal Bond Website Launched by Dr. Stephanie KoempelA community sharing stories, pictures and memories of beloved companion animals.
By: Dr. Stephanie Koempel "I've always wanted to change the image of 'crazy cat lady' into one of 'compassionate cat lady'," Dr. Koempel stated. "Honoring the Human-Animal Bond site is an extension of my work in counseling pet owners who have experienced their pet going somewhere over the Rainbow Bridge." Honoring the Human-Animal Bond will have several areas for interactions between members as well as Dr. Koempel. There is a warm, welcoming home page, a short bio about Dr. Koempel and her work, a blog, contact page, a gallery, and The Pet Connection, a forum where you can share your stories and sorrows. "I hope that this site will help you find some comfort through honoring the lives of your beloved pets and offering a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment in which to do so. I hope everyone will join us now as we stand united together on the Rainbow Bridge. Let us take a step back and share what the portrait of our lives once looked like when it was graced with the presence of our companion animals." Dr. Koempel feels most peaceful when in the presence of her 12 rescue cats and most passionate when advocating for the feral cat population. She has personally grieved 7 of her own companion animal deaths. She is Director of a University Counseling Center, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor, private mental health practitioner, and professor. She also consults on the topic of pet grief and helps pet owners tap into their innate tools to begin processing the pain and healing the emotional wounds that arise from the death of a beloved companion animal. You can find advice, comfort, and a place to share your own stories at Honoring the Human-Animal Bond on Twitter @HumAnimalBond and on Facebook.
